Problem with WSIF service invcation

[Oliver Schneider <ol...@orkelsfelsen.de>]

Hello everybody,

I need some urgent help concerning the following problem:

I wrote a custom Web service using WSIF which I would like to invokefrom my BPEL process, pass along as input a string and want to returnas output a complex type message.
I try to set the content of the complex type from within the Java class that is called by the WSIF interface operation.

My WSDL looks as follows:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

  </plnk:partnerLinkType>

</wsdl:definitions>

Within the PublicationRulesProvides I set the content of the return type PublicationRules and return it in the end.

Unfortunately when I deploy everything to the SOA server and run the test, I always receive the following exception:

<remoteFault> <part  name="summary"> <summary>oracle.fabric.common.FabricException: Error while determining return class of method getPublicationRules : The meta information is not consistent.; nested exception is: oracle.integration.thirdparty.apache.wsif.WSIFException: publicationRules</summary> </part> <part  name="detail"> <detail>Error while determining return class of method getPublicationRules : The meta information is not consistent.; nested exception is: oracle.integration.thirdparty.apache.wsif.WSIFException: publicationRules</detail> </part> </remoteFault>
What is strange is that if within the PublicationRulesProvider I onlyinstantiate the return type and immediately return it without settingit, then I arrive at the next step of my workflow.

Does anyone have an idea what I did wrong?

I would greatly appreciate any help to solve this issue!

Kind regards!
