Hi,
I found some - in my eyes - very strange behaviour.
I try to get an instance of the class ProcessState back from my
WebService (running XFire 1.2.5 on JBoss). This is a POJO containing
just another POJO called ProcessDescriptor.
(ProcessDescriptor is a class I already use in another WS and it works
quite well.)
ProcessState looks like this:
public class ProcessState implements Serializable {
private ProcessDescriptor procDesc;
public ProcessState() {
super();
this.procDesc = new ProcessDescriptor();
}
public final void setProcDesc(ProcessDescriptor procDesc) {
this.procDesc = procDesc;
}
public final ProcessDescriptor getProcessDescriptor() {
return procDesc;
}
}
I get this exception:
Exception in thread "main" org.codehaus.xfire.XFireRuntimeException:
Could not invoke service.. Nested exception is
org.codehaus.xfire.fault.XFireFault: No write method for property
{http://jbpmServices}processDescriptor in class
jbpmServices.ProcessState
org.codehaus.xfire.fault.XFireFault: No write method for property
{http://jbpmServices}processDescriptor in class
jbpmServices.ProcessState
I do not understand why this happens because there is no property called
ProcessDesriptor. The property is called procDesc.
When I change the method name to
public final void setProcessDescriptor(ProcessDescriptor
procDesc) {
this.procDesc = procDesc;
}
it runs flawlessly. Is this logical? ProcessDescriptor is the type of
the property not the property itself!
I would really like to know why this code runs. ;-)
Thanks,
Martin
PS: For completeness here the class ProcessDescriptor:
public class ProcessDescriptor implements Serializable {
private String processName = "";
private long id;
private boolean suspended = true;
public final long getId() {
return id;
}
public final void setId(long id) {
this.id = id;
}
public final String getProcessName() {
return processName;
}
public final void setProcessName(String processName) {
this.processName = processName;
}
public final boolean isSuspended() {
return suspended;
}
public final void setSuspended(boolean suspended) {
this.suspended = suspended;
}
}
