array - difference between JAXB and Aegis Binding
Hi,
I wrote a simple web service with two methods, one that would take an array
and one that would return an array.
public String[] getAbc() {
String[] strs = new String[3];
strs[0] = "a";
strs[1] = "b";
strs[2] = "c";
return strs;
}
public String setAbc(String[] args) {
return "done";
}
I noticed that with JAXB binding, the WSDL created does not have the wrapper
'ArrayOf...' element present.
<xsd:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
elementFormDefault="unqualified" targetNamespace="http://server.hw.demo/"
xmlns:tns="http://server.hw.demo/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<xsd:element name="setAbc" type="tns:setAbc"/>
<xsd:complexType name="setAbc">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="arg0"
type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:element name="setAbcResponse" type="tns:setAbcResponse"/>
<xsd:complexType name="setAbcResponse">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element minOccurs="0" name="return" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:element name="getAbc" type="tns:getAbc"/>
<xsd:complexType name="getAbc">
<xsd:sequence/>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:element name="getAbcResponse" type="tns:getAbcResponse"/>
<xsd:complexType name="getAbcResponse">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="return"
type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>
However with Aegis binding, the wrapper 'ArrayOf...' elements are present.
<xsd:schema attributeFormDefault="qualified" elementFormDefault="qualified"
targetNamespace="http://server.hw.demo/">
<xsd:complexType name="ArrayOfString">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="string"
nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:element name="setAbc" type="tns:setAbc"/>
<xsd:complexType name="setAbc">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="arg0" nillable="true"
type="tns:ArrayOfString"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:element name="setAbcResponse" type="tns:setAbcResponse"/>
<xsd:complexType name="setAbcResponse">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element minOccurs="0" name="return" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:element name="getAbc" type="tns:getAbc"/>
<xsd:complexType name="getAbc">
<xsd:sequence/>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:element name="getAbcResponse" type="tns:getAbcResponse"/>
<xsd:complexType name="getAbcResponse">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="return" nillable="true"
type="tns:ArrayOfString"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>
I'd like to use Aegis binding. But would like my WSDL to not have the
wrapper 'ArrayOf...' elements. Is that possible?
thanks,
Just as an fyi.. this issue was discussed in this thread:

Nope. Not right now. The aegis databinging is very "type" oriented in
that it generates a "type" for each field. It doesn't try to collapse
them down into elements with maxOccurs. I looked into it a bit when
fixing https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-1116, but it didn't
look easy so I just stuck with the ArrayOf stuff.
