User defined object as a request, literal XML as a response. Poss ible?!

["Hecking, Dirck J" <Di...@rsco.com>]

Guys,

Dirck here again. I have read several mails regarding this issue. I have not
seen one that illustrates my exact problem. The key here is that I want to
recieve literal xml in my response but want to supply a user defined object
as the requesting parameter. This code actually executes the service fine
and reads the arguements out of my object. The
response gets lost though, even though I specified literal xml encoding as
the default encoding for my document. My Apache Soap Service running on
Weblogic 5.1 has the following characteristics:

Note: The following code is a snippet.

Server:
public Element getResearch(ResearchArguments args)
{
      DocumentBuilderFactory  dbf     =
DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
      DocumentBuilder         xdb     = dbf.newDocumentBuilder ();
      Document                doc     = xdb.newDocument ();

       Element researchElement = doc.createElement("Whatever");

 // Extracts fields from the ResearchArguments class and creates a
 dynamic
 // research elements based on the information.

 return researchElement;
 }

 Client:
 public Element sendRequest()
 {
       url     =   new URL(routerUrl);

 ResearchArguments   args    = new
 ResearchArguments("data1","data2","data3");

       SOAPMappingRegistry smr     = new SOAPMappingRegistry();
       BeanSerializer      beanSer = new BeanSerializer();

 smr.mapTypes(Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC, new
 QName("urn:xml-soap-args-demo", "args") , ResearchArguments.class,
beanSer,
 beanSer);

       call.setTargetObjectURI("urn:" + service);
       call.setMethodName(method);
       call.setEncodingStyleURI(Constants.NS_URI_LITERAL_XML);

       call.setSOAPMappingRegistry(smr);

       params.addElement(new Parameter("args",
 ResearchArguments.class,
 args,
 Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC));

 call.setParams(params);

 resp = call.invoke(url, "");
 // A fault gets generated from the server after this line
 }

 Exception:
 Generated fault:
   Fault Code   = SOAP-ENV:Server
   Fault String = java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No Serializer found
to
 serialize a 'org.w3c.dom.Element' using encoding style
 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/'.
