             Summary: Deserialisation of array of obj fails if the class has a constructor(string s)
                 Key: AXIS2-5676
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS2-5676
             Project: Axis2
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: adb
    Affects Versions: 1.6.2
            Reporter: philippe le berre


For instance,

public class Alice {
private String comment;
private String name;

public Alice();
public Alice(String comment)  {this.comment = comment; }
public String toString() { return "[name:"+name+", comment:"+comment+"]"; }
}

if invoking :
client.setReturnType(new Class[] {  Alice[].class });
Alice[] ar = (Alice[]) client.invokeBlocking(new Object[3]);

Then the deserialised array contains object instantiated with calls to Alice(obj.toString()). If one removes the Alice(String s) constructor then the array is correct, Alice objects are instantiated properly.

The root cause is the method ConvertToArbitraryObjectArray in org.apache.axis2.databinding.utils.ConverterUtil

                       Array.set(returnArray, i, getObjectForClass(
                                baseArrayClass,
                                o.toString()));
---

I just don't understand the purpose of the first half of the method, which silently trap exceptions. It works fine without it, the toArray is quite enough and doesn't induce weird assumptions on the handled objects.
