    Client deserialization error

    srlamb76

      I am getting the following exception in my web services client:

      2005-01-21 17:07:54,820 WARN org.jboss.webservice.deployment.TypeMappingDescription[main] - Class not found: hr.ejb.ark.al.com.StaffArray

      My client looks like the following:

       URL url = new URL("http://metal:8080/ark-web-ears-ark-ejb-SNAPSHOT/services/HRFacade?wsdl");
       QName qname = new QName("http://com.al.ark.ejb.hr", "HRService");
      
       ServiceFactory factory = ServiceFactory.newInstance();
       Service service = factory.createService(url, qname);
       HREndpoint endpoint = (HREndpoint)service.getPort(HREndpoint.class);
      
       StaffArray entries = endpoint.getSimpleStaff();
       System.out.println("Number of entries: " + entries.getStaffArray().length);

      I am getting no exceptions on the server. I have turned up the Axis debug level on Jboss and am seeing the SOAP response correctly however I am still getting this exception on the client:

          Just to close the loop on this one I did this in my client and it worked!

           File file=new File("HRMapping.xml");
           URL mappinglocation =file.toURL();
          
           file=new File("ws4ee-deployment.xml");
           URL ws4eeMetaData =file.toURL();
          
           URL url = new URL("http://metal:8080/ark-web-ears-ark-ejb-SNAPSHOT/services/HRFacade?wsdl");
           QName qname = new QName("http://com.al.ark.ejb.hr", "HRService");
           String portName = "HREndpoint";
           ServiceFactoryImpl factory = (ServiceFactoryImpl)ServiceFactory.newInstance();
           Service service = factory.createService(url, mappinglocation, ws4eeMetaData, qname, null );
           HREndpoint endpoint = (HREndpoint)service.getPort(HREndpoint.class);
