custom types with non-java client
Hi,
I'm fairly new at webservices, and I've been developing a webservice based
on axis 1.4.
To send back complex objects that I already had I'm using the castor
serializer.
I was wondering if some of my clients don't use java to access my
webservices if it was still possible for them to get the XML?
Dose somebody have a basic example?
I found this on the web:
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/ws-axis-user/200407.mbox/%3C200407292306.i6TN6ZRk031249@host.concepthost.net%3E
Does this means that I have to modify my methods to send back basic types?
Thanks for any help,
Melanie

The <wsdl:types> section must specify the schema(s) that describe your
input and output messages. The schemas may be defined inline, or they
may be imported or included using <xsd:import> or <xsd:include>.
In all cases, what is transferred between the client and the service
is an XML message wrapped in a SOAP envelope. Typically, though, the
runtime framework (e.g., Axis, .NET, etc) translates the XML message
into a set of language-specific objects. If you want direct access to
the XML message in Axis, you must use the low-level messaging API.

Hi Anne,
Thank you for your reply.
I have a few more questions:
- I have a method Term term1 = port.getTermById(144);
If my non java clients want to access the Term, they will have to build
the same kind of structure in their own language, which means I need to
distribute the XML schema. Using the ant java2wsdl how can I specify the
schemaLocation to import?
- Is it possible to get the XML without using any structure?
I guess I'm just confused about what is sent back by Axis, I thought it
was just XML in a SOAP envelop (document wrapped style), so I thought
there would be the 2 options, either using the java objects or getting the
raw XML, but I don't see how I can test that I can actually get the raw
XML.
Thanks again,
Melanie

Re: Question about performance issues with Axis 1.3

Aniket,
I don't think anyone says that. Anyway, You need to switch to Axis2
for much better performance than axis1.
thanks,

Question about performance issues with Axis 1.3
Posted by Aniket M Shende <an...@aexp.com>.
Hello ,
Well ... tihs is not really about any performance issue with axis as such
, but a more general question regarding performance.
It is said that in the generated stub solution offers the best
performance. In axis , the generated stubs use the DII solution
internally.
So , clearly , the Axis framework is overcomming those drawbacks of using
DII (performance wise) . I would like to know what those drawbacks are and
how Axis overcomes those .
Thanks,
Aniket

It depends on how Castor is serializing your objects. If Castor
converts your objects into reasonably straightforward XML schema
structures, it should work. What you don't want to do is use SOAP
encoding to serialize the objects, because it has a tendency to
produce XML that can't be easily processed by non-Java applications.
