It turns out I am having trouble setting the Authors. Specifically,
the client is sending them, but the server doesn't seem to be reading
them.
Authors is a list in LibraryItemInfoData and has the following getter
and setter:
public final void setAuthors( final List<Author> allAuthors )
public final List<Author> getAuthors()
I wired the server to send an instance of the LibraryItemInfoData to
the client and tried to make the client send back a message formatted
as closely as possible. If you look below at the Author sections for
what the client is sending and what the server is sending, I think I
was successful at that.
As far as the Author type goes, it is an interface. The
implementation class is AuthorData. Could that be causing this
problem? Is there a way to tell XFire to create AuthorData instances
whenever it gets an Author inside a SOAP body, rather than changing
the method signatures? I actually tried to change the method
signatures, saw the WSDL update, but didn't get any change in
behavior; the authors were still not set.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Mark

You can see in the log output that the keywords I previously had
trouble with have been set successfully, but the authors List is empty.

When the server sends an instance of LibraryItemInfo to the client,
it looks like this:
