SOAP message not well formed.

[Jian Zhang <jz...@symcor.com>]

With a lot of help from James Black, I can finally get server side code
executed till the end of operation that returns an array of my own object
Folder.

However, on the client side, I got:

========================
 faultString: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The root element is required in
a
well-formed document.
 faultActor: null
 faultDetail:
        stackTrace: org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The root element is
required
in a well-formed document.
        at
org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLParser.reportError(XMLParser.java:121
)
=========================
tcpmon reported an empty SOAP message (but with HTTP response header).

My client side code is like this:

       Service  service = new Service();
        Call     call    = (Call) service.createCall();

        call.setTargetEndpointAddress( new java.net.URL(serverUrl) );
        call.setOperationName(new QName(serviceName, operationName));


        System.out.println ("\n\n\n\n: service " + serviceName);
        QName    qn      = new QName( "urn:MyRequestorService", "Folder" );
        call.registerTypeMapping(Folder.class, qn,
                      new
org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanSerializerFactory(Folder.class, qn),
                      new
org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanDeserializerFactory(Folder.class, qn));
        //
//       call.setReturnType( new QName("",
(javax.xml.rpc.encoding.XMLType.SOAP_ARRAY);
//        org.apache.axis.encoding.XMLType.
//        call.setReturnType( new QName
(org.apache.axis.encoding.XMLType.ATTR_ARRAY_TYPE, "symcor:folderArray") );
        call.setReturnType( new QName
(org.apache.axis.encoding.XMLType.ATTR_ARRAY_TYPE, "urn:MyRequestorService")
);


        Folder[] ret = (Folder[]) call.invoke( new Object[] {configDir,
appName, serverName, loginName, password } );


Is there anything wrong with my code?
