Axis2 array wrappers

Hi,

    I've an axis2 web service that has the following structure:

       1. name
       2. surname
       3. Phone[] phone

    The problem here is that when I want to see a response from this 
service it always gives me something like this:

<ns:sayHelloWorldFromResponse>
<ns:return type="example.Person">
<ns:arr type="example.Phone">
<ns:id>100</ns:id>
<ns:nr>0421</ns:nr>
</ns:arr>
<ns:arr type="example.Phone">
<ns:id>200</ns:id>
<ns:nr>1234</ns:nr>
</ns:arr>
<ns:name>xaas</ns:name>
<ns:surname>xa1</ns:surname>
</ns:return>
</ns:sayHelloWorldFromResponse>


The problem with this is when I want to use this service from a VBA 
client. The code on the VBA side is generated correctly but when I run 
it it always takes only the first element in the array of Phone. I've 
tried with another web 
service(http://euro2008.dataaccess.eu/footballpoolwebservice.wso/AllGames) 
and this one works correctly since the response is like this:

<ArrayOftGamesInfo>
    <tGamesInfo>
        <iId>1</iId>
        <sDescription>Round 1</sDescription>
        <dPlayDate>2008-06-07</dPlayDate>
        <tPlayTime>18:00:00</tPlayTime>
        <Cards>
          <card>
             ....
          </card>
        </Cards>
    <tGamesInfo>
    <tGamesInfo>
        <iId>1</iId>
        <sDescription>Round 1</sDescription>
        <dPlayDate>2008-06-07</dPlayDate>
        <tPlayTime>18:00:00</tPlayTime>
    <tGamesInfo>
</ArrayOftGamesInfo>

The idea is that somehow the guys that written the euro2008 web 
services, managed to return the arrays having a parent element, e.g. 
ArrayOfGamesInfo, Cards.

Any idea how could I make Axis2 return arrays in this way - having a 
parent element that wraps them?

Thanks a lot,

    Dan.

Hi,
  Afaik .Net web services do this array wrapping, unfortunately Axis2 does
not work that way.
However, if changing the code is not a problem you can try creating a custom
class "ArrayOfPhones" that contains a Phone[] field and use that instead.

Regards,
   Detelin
