What kind of serializer should I use for this?

["Bell, Douglas" <DB...@boingo.com>]

Hello Everyone,
 
I have a several classes that extends another class i.e.
 
class ExtendedRule extends Rule
{
    ....
}
 
class AnotherExtendedRule extends Rule
{
    ...
}
 
I want an array of Rule[]'s returned to me. I'm able to get them back
but am having a problem with the sub class deserialization. Axis can see
that the array of Rule's returned contains ExtendedRules and
AntoherExtendedRules but then complains that the extended Rules contains
elements not contained in Rule[]
 
My first thought was to use an arrayMapping
<arrayMapping qname="ns:ArrayOfRule" xmlns:ns="urn:ArrayOfRule"
languageSpecificType="java:Rule[]" innerType="ns2:ExtendedRule"
xmlns:ns2="urn:ExtendedRule"
encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>

This throws back "Invalid element in Rule - address". Which is correct
address exist in ExtendedRule but not in Rule..

Any Ideas/Help?

Thanks in advance!

- Doug

I have the same situation, but in my case the returned Beans implements an 
interface. My choice, at the moment, was "replicate" the interface 
implementations for each return bean and forget the implements clause...

If somebody has a solution for complex types wich implements/extends other 
complex types, let us know.
