Scott, Here are the details.
I guess i need to provide the mapping in my DeploymentDescriptor.xml. Here is my descriptor. <dd:service xmlns:dd="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap/deployment"; id="urn:ldap"> <dd:provider type="java" scope="Application" methods="getLDAP"> <dd:java class="LDAPCall" static="false" /> </dd:provider> <dd:faultListener>org.apache.soap.server.DOMFaultListener</dd:faultListener> <dd:mappings> <dd:map encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; xmlns:x="urn:ldap" qname="x:ldap" javaType="java.util.Hashtable" java2XMLClassName="org.apache.soap.encoding.soapenc.HashtableSerializer" xml2JavaClassName="org.apache.soap.encoding.soapenc.HashtableSerializer"/> </dd:mappings> </dd:service> I am returning Hashtable from my method call. I am getting following exception. The SOAP Server says: http://localhost:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter Ouch, the call failed: Fault Code = SOAP-ENV:Server Fault String = java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No Serializer found to seri alize a 'java.util.Vector$1' using encoding style 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/so ap/encoding/'. I have provide mapping for hashtable why it is throwing me error for vector class?. are my mappings correct? Vijay Scott Nichol wrote: > A couple of things: > > 1.
