Unable to retrieve complex type in .net client
On my course of learning of webservices on Axis. I created a complex
type Person containing age and name attributes.
I tried to create another complextype PersonsContainer which contains
a Person array and count. My wsdl has two functions getPerson()
returning Person and getPersons() returning PersonsContainer.
I uses wsdl2java to generate the server and client java codes. and I
deploy the service on Axis 1.2RC3. The java client works fine with
the service but when I try to access the service with .net client I am
able to receive the person with getPerson() but I am unable to get
PersonsContainer using getPersons(). When looking at the soap
responses. It seems the getPersons() is getting getPerson() function
kinda weird.
My wsdl is :

As you can see the getPersons() function reply is getPerson() reply.
Can someone provide any insight into it. I have tried it so many time
that I have run out of ideas.
Thanks

what you mean by I dont provide unique signatures to differentiate
the two methods. getPerson() and getPersons() are different methods
with different in the method name. they are not the overloaded
methods.

The problem is caused by the fact that you don't provide unique
signatures to differentiate the two methods, therefore .NET sends the
same message (an empty <soap:Body/>) for both methods, and Axis always
invokes the first method. (I'm unclear why it works with the Axis
client, because it also should send identical messages.)
I've take the liberty of fixing your WSDL so that it supports the
"wrapped" style, which should fix your problem. I didn't fix your
first method, only the getPerson and getPersons methods.

One solution, which I haven't used, is to modify the wsdl file by
hand. If you look at some of the archives you will find references about
that.
What I do is convert my array of beans into an xml file, and pass it
as a string, and just convert the xml file back into an array of beans
on the .net side. C# has a wonderful way to handle xml files.
There are known interop issues between java and .net, and I hope that
at some point it is fixed.
