JavaBean Properties Order Sequence

[Chen Zhang <cz...@linkshare.com>]

Hello,

I am using Axis2 1.2 and my ws endpoint is a pojo class. The return type 
is a java bean. No matter in what order I define the properties in the 
java bean, Axis always sorts the property names in alphabetical order 
and render them in that order in xml. Eg. my bean is defined as:

    public class balance{
        private String id;
        private String name;
        private int balance;
        ...//getters& setters
    }

The xml schema that axis generates would be like(in alphabetical order 
of the property names):
 
- <#> <xs:complexType name="Balance">
- <#> <xs:sequence>
  <xs:element name="balance" nillable="true" type="xs:int" />    
//becomes first because of alphabetic order
  <xs:element name="id" nillable="true" type="xs:string" />
  <xs:element name="name" type="xs:string" />
   </xs:sequence>

And if I query the service thru REST, the response xml would be like:

...
<balance.../>
<id.../>
<name.../>

Is there a way that I can change the behavior of the formatter and the 
sequence of the properties?

Thanks!

Hi Chen ,

There is no way to change that , and if you are going to do so you will
have issues as well. According to my experience Annogen behave 
differently in different JVM and JDK , to overcome that I had to short
the bean property order. In the meantime we generate the correct XML
schema as well
