problems retrieving the value of ArrayList of Object Array

[jagannath <ja...@adventnet.com>]

Hello Users,

I am facing problems retrieving the value of ArrayList of Object Array 
using client stubs generated using WSDL2Java. The ObjectArray has just a 
string in it.

I have a method in my WebService that returns an java.util.ArrayList of 
ObjectArray. For this I have written serializer for ArrayList and 
defined the ArrayOfObject in my wsdl file as shown below

<complexType name="ArrayList">
    <all>
         <element name="item" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" 
type="xsd:anyType"/>
    </all>
</complexType>

<complexType name="ArrayOfObject">
    <complexContent>
                <restriction base="soapenc:Array">
                    <attribute ref="soapenc:arrayType" 
wsdl:arrayType="xsd:anyType[]"/>
                </restriction>
    </complexContent>
</complexType>

The ArrayList.java that is generated is attached with this mail.

What is happening is I only get the String present in the last 
ObjectArray added in the ArrayList. When I have a ArrayList that 
contains String I am able to fetch all the values.

For further reference please refer the tcpmon response for ArrayList of 
String and ArrayList of ObjectArray below

----------ArrayList with String---------------

I tried some debugging by putting print statements in the /setItem/ 
method of ArrayList stub.

I found that for ArrayList with three Strings the method gets called 
three times with the Object[] passed having 1,2 and 3 elements it. That 
is in the third call the Object[] passed has all the 3 Strings in it.

But for ArrayList with Object[] in it, though the setItem method gets 
called three times the Object[] passed has only one element in it. So 
only the last element gets stored in the ArrayList stub.

Hope I am clear.

I am using AXIS1.0 version.

Is this an issue with AXIS or am I missing something.

Please help as this is urgent to me.

Thanks,

Datahandler within a Bean?

[Gareth Western <p2...@garethwestern.com>]

Hi,
If one puts a variable of type DataHandler within a Bean, would that 
DataHandler still be added as an attachment to the resulting SOAP message?
Ta,
