Dear All,
I have defined a simple web service that takes in 3 String parameters and processes these in a string return (CheckOrder.java). I compile with the debug option (-g) so that the parameter names are known to the wsdl. This works OK when called from a stand-alone SOAP client.
When I use the servlet call to the web service, with named parameters
in the FORM input fields, the order of the parameters is reversed (test.html).
Any idea why this is? If this is consistent behavior, I can work around it,
but I noticed that the parameter order is confused if used with a service
that takes in more than 10 parameters.
I am using Axis 1.1 under TOMCAT 5.0.18
Thanks,
Guido Lemoine
*** The web service ***
package test;
public class CheckOrder
{
public String doIt (String a, String b, String c)
{
String reply = "The correct order of the parameters is " + a + "; " + b + "; " + c;
return (reply);
}
}
