Re: Abstract Complex Type [Our Ref:CPT34345 Your Ref:CPTBC628]

Hi

Apologies, I'm re-posting the problem that I'm experiencing. 

Anybody have any ideas... please?

In the mean time I'm going to give it a go with the latest Axis2, but I 
have a funny feeling it's going to produce the same results.

Kind regards
Fouche Du Preez

Abstract Complex Type 
OREF:
CPTBC628 






Hi All

I'm using Axis 1.3 to generate my client stubs etc. The problem that I'm 
experiencing is as follows:

The web service that I'm connecting to has a abstract complex type (let's 
say: Favorite) defined as part of an argument for a call (let's say: 
favoritesAdd). The Favorite abstract type also has additional implementing 

types defined, eg. SimpleFavorite, AdvancedFavorite etc. These 
implementing complex types have additional properties that can be set. 
When making a call to favoritesAdd, Axis only populates the properties 
defined by the Favorite interface and not the additional properties 
defined by an implementing class.

My thoughts are:
1. Since the WSDL defines Favorite as the call's argument Axis quite 
rightly ignores the additional properties set by an implementing class. 
Can somebody please confirm this? 
2. Alternatively, should Axis be "clever" enough to realize that I'm 
passing it an object type that contains additional properties and that 
they need to be set in the SOAP request as well.
3. If not, and if it is even legal to do something like this in a web 
service, how can I tell Axis to do this?



Below the relevant WSDL snippets:
(Looking at the snippets below, you'll notice that the Favorite object 
get's passed to a FavoriteAddRequestDO for the call - I did not want to 
expand on this too much above in order to keep the explanation simple...)

<operation name="favoritesAdd"> 
  <input message="tns:favoritesAdd" /> 
  <output message="tns:favoritesAddResponse" /> 
</operation>

<message name="favoritesAdd"> 
  <part xmlns:partns="
http://www.maerskline.com/eTrack30/2006/03/22/TrackingRegisteredService" 
name="wsrequest" element="partns:favoritesAdd" />
</message>

<xsd:element xmlns:tp="java:com.maerskline.etrack.service.type.request" 
type="tp:FavoritesAddRequestDO" name="favoritesAdd" nillable="true" /> 

<xsd:complexType name="FavoritesAddRequestDO">

                <xsd:element type="xsd:dateTime" name="lastUsed"

        </xsd:sequence> 
</xsd:complexType>
