Question on if this can be done.
HI,
I'm using the Soap 2.2 toolkit on AIX and the castor product to
marshall/unmarshall my xml. I'm trying to send a response back like the
following:
. . .
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<SetPersonResponse>
<NodeA>
<other sub nodes here>
</NodeA>
<NodeB>
<other subnodes here>
</NodeB>
</SetPersonResponse>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
...
The issue is the SetPerson method which gets invoked via the RPC call is a
java method which can return a bean and not two peer elements like above. I
have no problems returning just NodeA and any level of complexity under that
but cannot return two peer elements at the highest level. Can anyone
provide any insight to my shortcomings. Thanks in advance.

Ed,
The response from a SOAP RPC call needs to be a single value, although that
value can be a complex type. Therefore, only 1 element can be a direct
descendant of the SetPersonResponse element. If the type you want to return is
the composition of NodeA and NodeB, you must have an element containing these.
For example, if the Java method implementing the service has a signature
MyType SetPerson(...)
where MyType marshals as a composition of multiple properties, the response
might look like
<SetPersonResponse>
<ResponseValue xmlns:myns="urn:mytype" xsi:type="myns:mytype">
<NodeA>
<other sub nodes here>
</NodeA>
<NodeB>
<other subnodes here>
</NodeB>
</ResponseValue>
</SetPersonResponse>
Your code would need to map myns:mytype to the Java type MyType, of course.
