FW: How to set the marshalled type for anyType?
OK, I'll provide a bit more info to see if that helps elicit some
assistance. We are using Axis 1.2RC2. We are only using Axis on the
client side.
We are using anyType to allow us to pass any object type to our server
app. We need to use the XSD types, and several types defined by our
WSDL. The WSDL segment that declares this is:
<complexType name="Option">
<sequence>
<element name="name" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"
nillable="true"/>
<element name="value" type="xsd:anyType" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1"
nillable="true"/>
</sequence>
</complexType>
When run through Wsdl2Java, it produces a class named Option.java (see
below for src).
Now, when the value field in the Option class is actually a
java.lang.Boolean, this field gets serialized as a soapenc:boolean, as
opposed to a xsd:boolean. This causes interop issues. I know there
have been other issues similar to this in the past; I reported one of
them about 2 years ago, and it was finally fixed for complex types in
the 1.2 RC releases, but apparently, similar things still happen in
other circumstances. This did work fine in the original 1.0RC1, which
has only recently upgraded from (finally). The same thing happens when
using other native types, such as int, long, string, etc... here is a
snippet of the SOAP generated:
<item xsi:type="ns1:Option">
<name xsi:type="xsd:string">noSourceFormatting</name>
<value xsi:type="soapenc:boolean">true</value>
</item>
Here's my questions:
1. What is the correct behavior? Is this a bug? I believe that
classes such as Boolean, String, Integer, should always be serialized
using the XSD types. There seems to be some belief that if an element
is nillable, it needs to use the soapenc types, but I don't see why that
is. Obviously, if the value field in the Option class has a
java.lang.Boolean, it is not nill.
2. Is there a way to control this? Is there a property that can be set
to control this? Can I write custom (de)serializers to properly handle
types such as java.lang.Boolean? Is there a method/class that I can
modify to change this behavior? I'm more than willing to modify the
behavior of Axis to do this, and see what other repurcussions the change
has, but I don't know where to start inside the code.
Thanks for any help and/or commiseration with this issue,

Do you have the latest code? Try with the latest sources from CVS. It
should be working fine.
