problem serialize byte[] property as base64Binary
Have set up web service in JBoss 4.0.2 of type document/literal,
the argument of my method is a user defined type which contains a field of type byte[].
class DataDTO() {
public byte[] data;
}the wsdl (generated with wscompile as recommended) contains the schema for this and looks as follows:
<complexType name="DataDTO"> <sequence> <element name="data" type="base64Binary" nillable="true" /> </sequence> </complexType
To my understanding this should define that the byte array is converted to a base64 encoded string on the wire, and converted back on receiving side. I have no custom serializers or other stuff.
When this DataDTO structure is used as return value, JBoss returns on the wire
<result> <data>5</data> <data>7</data> </result>i.e. for every single byte a data tag is transmitted. This is then not understood by a .NET client set up after the generated wsdl.
On the contrary when .NET invokes such web service and has a DataDTO as argument, it correctly sends
<argument1> <data>AQIDBAU=</data> </argument1>
but JBoss evidently insists on something like it has sent, therefore thinks that AQIDBAU= is the decimal reprecentation of a single byte in the data array and encounters a NumberFormatException, with following stack trace:
Integer.parseInt(String, int) line: 468 Byte.parseByte(String, int) line: 122 Byte.<init>(String) line: 296 NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance0(Constructor, Object[]) line: not available [native method] NativeConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(Object[]) line: 39 DelegatingConstructorAccessorImpl.newInstance(Object[]) line: 27 Constructor.newInstance(Object[]) line: 274 SimpleDeserializer.makeValue(String) line: 325 SimpleDeserializer.onEndElement(String, String, DeserializationContext) line: 236 SimpleDeserializer(DeserializerImpl).endElement(String, String, DeserializationContext) line: 582 DeserializationContextImpl.endElement(String, String, String) line: 1249 SAX2EventRecorder.replay(int, int, ContentHandler) line: 252 RPCElement(SOAPElementAxisImpl).publishToHandler(ContentHandler) line: 1386 RPCElement.deserialize() line: 262 RPCElement.getParams() line: 396 JBossRPCInvocation(RPCInvocation).prepareFromRequestEnvelope() line: 235 InvokerProviderEJB(RPCProvider).processMessage(MessageContext, SOAPEnvelopeAxisImpl, SOAPEnvelopeAxisImpl, Object) line: 103 InvokerProviderEJB(JavaProvider).invoke(MessageContext) line: 358 InvocationStrategy.visit(Handler, MessageContext) line: 73 SOAPService(SimpleChain).doVisiting(MessageContext, HandlerIterationStrategy) line: 160 SOAPService(SimpleChain).invoke(MessageContext) line: 123 SOAPService.invoke(MessageContext) line: 560 ServerEngine.invokeInternal(MessageContext) line: 200 ServerEngine.invoke(MessageContext) line: 89
Did I make something wrong here,
or is byte[] not correctly supported in this circumstances?
