SOAP and struts

["Ian Kallen <iank@covalent.net>" <ia...@covalent.net>]

Working on an architecture that has the business logic of the model running on
an external subsystem that is accessed by SOAP, we found that the SOAP client
doesn't want to serialize the ActionForm subclassed beans (not sure where in the
reflection voodoo it's choking yet).  Anybody else used the Apache SOAP
implementation's BeanSerializer with struts?  I'd be interested in how the
systems interacted :)

cheers,

Hmm, I haven't looked at the BeanSerializer code, but I'd bet that it's
choking on the two ActionForm instance variables (references to the
ActionServlet and MultipartRequestHandler associated with this
request) that are not themselves Serializable.  I'm going to change them
to transient so that the beans should be able to be serialized (as long as
all your other instance variables are Serializable).
