how to specify typemappings

[ymidt]

it seems that to return a bean object from the web service, you need to specify a beanmapping in the axis-config.xml

but how do you give axis exposure to your classes that are deployed only in your .ear file?

Is there a way to specify these mappings in the .wsr?

figured it out. to use standard bean serialization:

bean mapping goes in wsr's web-service.xml:

<beanMapping qname="ns:TestBean" xmlns:ns="myns" languageSpecificType="java:com.company.client.TestBean"/>

where TestBean adheres to all bean rules (no nice error messages if it doesn't)

then in your client you must:

QName tb = new QName("odcs","TestBean");
call.registerTypeMapping(TestBean.class, tb, new BeanSerializerFactory(TestBean.class, tb), new BeanDeserializerFactory(TestBean.class, tb) );
call.setOperationName("getTestBean");
call.setReturnType(tb);
call.addParameter("name", XMLType.XSD_STRING, ParameterMode.PARAM_MODE_IN);
call.addParameter("id", XMLType.XSD_INT, ParameterMode.PARAM_MODE_IN);
TestBean b = (TestBean) call.invoke( new Object[] {"dave",new Integer(5)} );
System.out.println(b);

important typo in previous post. should be:

When using XDoclet to generate web-service.xml, how can one tell xdoclet to create the bean mapping entries in web-service.xml?
