Trouble with Serializers

[Ross Daws <Ro...@hubbub.com.au>]

Hi All.

I'm trying to use the apache soap implementation under java, and I've run
into a problem with serializers.

The parameter I'm passing in to the method call is an int, and so the my
envelope is using encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/

however when it comes to the return, which is an org.w3c.dom.Element, I get
the following exception:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No Serializer found to serialize a
'org.w3c.dom.Element' using encoding style
'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/'. 	at

Does anyone know how to set the encoding type for the return of a call to be
different to that encoding type used for the parameters?

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!

Thanks,
