[.NET Interop] Object returned from axis service is empty in .NET client...

[Alan Moss <al...@rhiandal.com>]

Hi all,

I'm having a strange problem which I think is namespace related, but I'm 
not sure how to correct it.

I'm implementing a web service in axis to be used by .Net clients. First 
off, I have a method who's Java signature looks like:

     public Object getItem(String path) {...}

I have a similar method that returns an Object[] that works perfectly. 
When called from .Net, the `getItem' method returns with an object, but 
the fields are all, always null. I am using the axis beanMapping 
construct for serializing my data objects. Below is a sample response 
from a call to my service:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope 
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" 
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
  <soapenv:Body>
   <ns1:getItemResponse 
soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" 
xmlns:ns1="http://omitted.com/ns">
    <ns1:getItemReturn xsi:type="ns1:standardsDefiningBody">
     <ns1:currentRevision xsi:type="xsd:string">Y1999</ns1:currentRevision>
     <ns1:description xsi:type="xsd:string">Sunshine State 
Standards</ns1:description>
     <ns1:id xsi:type="xsd:string">101</ns1:id>
     <ns1:key xsi:type="xsd:string">sb:101</ns1:key>
     <ns1:name xsi:type="xsd:string">Florida Department of 
Education</ns1:name>
     <ns1:standardRevisions xsi:type="soapenc:Array" xsi:nil="true" 
xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/>
     <ns1:type xsi:type="xsd:string">ST</ns1:type>
    </ns1:getItemReturn>
   </ns1:getItemResponse>
  </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

The part that looks strange to me is that the `ns1' prefix is still used 
under the `getItemReturn' element. In my other methods, those prefixes 
are ommitted. Also note that the Java client I built using axis handles 
the returned object correctly. Any pointers would be appreciated.

I'm using Axis 1.1.


Thanks,

Installer for axis-tomcat based web service?

[Faraz Rasheed <fa...@yevolve.com>]

Hi,
 
I need to create an installer to deploy the axis-tomcat based web
service. Is there any installation package available for this? Which
checks the Java runtime (1.4), tomcat and axis and deploy the web
service if the axis-tomcat is already installed?
