help:TypeMapping null in syncOperationToClass

[Rania Khalaf <rk...@watson.ibm.com>]

Hi
I am trying to deploy a service that has certain classes I have
my own serializer/deserializer for. However, when it does
syncOperationToClass, the type mapping registry is turning
up null so I get a NullPointerException.

I have included type mappings in the wsdd file alreay.
Here is an excerpt of the type mapping and the operation
from the wsdd file, as well as the method in the java class
of the service that it is trying to sync to:

FROM WSDD:
<typeMapping qname="ns:boolean" 
xmlns:ns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
             type="java:com.ibm.jrom.JROMBooleanValue"      
             serializer="samples.axisBeta3.JROMAxisSerializerFactory"
            
deserializer="samples.axisBeta3.JROMAxisDeserializerFactory"
             encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>

<operation name="testBoolean" returnQName="return"            
returnType="RTypeNS:boolean"            
xmlns:RTypeNS="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" >
             <parameter name="var"
type="tns:boolean"                         
xmlns:tns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"/>
</operation>

FROM JAVA SERVICE:
public JROMBooleanValue testBoolean(JROMBooleanValue var) {
    System.out.println("testBoolean:  value: " + var.getValue());
    return var;
  }


Here's the beginning of the stacktrace, with some debug
printlns I put in syncOperationToClass:

type mapping is null
