developing and using serializers/deserializers

[Mark Stewart <ms...@atg.com>]

It seems that the demos included in the 2.0 release all use pretty standard
type or else use one of the included serializers (BeanSerializer,
ArraySerializer, etc).

I need to transport objects that, while simple, are not regular beans. Can
anyone offer a somewhat specific outline of the steps needed to serialize
(from a client) then unserialize (on the SOAP server) arbitrary objects?
I've been hacking at it myself for a while and seem to be able to get the
objects serialized but even though I've registered TypeMapping objects with
the service's DeploymentDescriptor the deserializer doesn't seem to get
called.

This seems like the sort of thing people will want to do regularly so it
might be good to publish the methodology on the list since the docs are
still pretty skeletal.

cheers,
