RE: Excluding POJO fields from WSDL?

["Kraus, David" <dk...@MicroStrategy.com>]

Glen Verran also asked a similar question in his email: "How can I
exclude classes from Axis2?"

 

Does anyone know how to exclude a field from a class, or the whole class
from being included in the WSDL? We both tried the transient approach,
which didn't work.

 

Are there improvements in Axis2 1.3, 1.4 in this area?

 

Thanks, Dave

Subject: excluding pojo fields from wsdl

 

I am using Axis2 1.2 and have deployed a simple service as a POJO. I
created my client using wsld2java based on the WSDL generated from the
POJO service.

 

One of the objects, which is returned from a web service method, has
some public static fields. These fields are being included in the WSDL.
However, since these static fields don't have getters/setters, they
weren't being serialized on return, which caused an "Unexpected element
return" error at the client. Adding getters/setters gets rid of the
problem, as long as the getters/setters are not static ( which is
strange). In any case, these public static fields do not need to be
serialized, and their inclusion in the WSDL causes problems. Using
getters/setters is very awkward since they aren't really needed since
the fields really should be public static final, which I tried using.  I
have also tried using the java transient keyword, but that doesn't seem
to work. I have also tried using excludeProperties (beanPropertyRules)
in services.xml, and that didn't seem to work. Is there a way to exclude
these public static fields from the WSDL generated from the deployed
POJO?

 

Example of return class below:

 

Thanks, Dave

 

 

public class EnumNormal {

      private String _value;

      

      public EnumNormal() {}

      

      public EnumNormal(String value)

      {

            _value = value;

      }

      

      public String getValue()

      {

            return _value;

      }

      

      public void setValue(String value)

      {

            _value = value;

      }

      

      public static String firstEnumVal = "FirstEnumVal";

      public static String secondEnumVal = "SecondEnumVal";

      public static String thirdEnumVal = "ThirdEnumVal";

      public static String fourthEnumVal = "FourthEnumVal";

      public static String fifthEnumVal = "FifthEnumVal";

      

}
