Which Deserializer for org.w3c.dom.Element ?

[mschwarz]

Hi everybody,

I am using Axis 1.2 together with Jboss-3.2.1_tomcat-4.1.24 and have deployed my web service succesfully.
The client sends a parameter of type org.w3c.dom.Element to the server who processes this Element and sends it back.

Unfortunatly, an error occurs while receiving the repsonse:

Caught SOAPException (SOAP-ENV:Client): No Deserializer found to deserialize a ':responseElementName'
using encoding style 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/'.

This is a part of the response envelope:

<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:myMethodResponse
soapenv:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns:ns1="urn:MyService">
<responseElementName>
<childElement>
...

After reading several other threads, tutorials and documentation, I think I need to register a type mapping in my .wsdd file but I don't know which.

Can anybody, please, give me a simple answer on this one ?

It's getting worse...

After I finally managed to deserialize my Element (adding a type mapping with org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.Element(De)SerializerFactory on server side and one using a org.apache.soap.encoding.literalxml.XMLParameterSerializer on the client side ), I realized that my service needs the whole w3c.dom.Document.
%-\

I changed my .wsdd file to use style="document" and changed the server side type mapping as well.
Now I encounter the problem that the XMLParameterSerializer can only process a w3c.dom.Element not a Document.

Anybody a clue ?
