WebRowSet parameter

[dabrigo]

Hi folks,
does anyone know how to use the WebRowSet class as a parameter (either input or output) in a Webservice? :banghead:
let's say something like this:

public interface TestWRS extends Remote {
 WebRowSet getRowSet() throws RemoteException;
}

public class TestWRSEndpoint implements TestWRS {
 public WebRowSet getRowSet() throws RemoteException {
 WebRowSet wrs = new WebRowSetImpl();
 // ...more code here to read data into the rowset...
 return wrs;
 }
}

i saw in the documentation of JWSDP that it should work automatically when using wscompile, but it throws an error saying:

error: Collection types are not supported in literal mode - Type: "java.util.Map"

Thanks! :beerchug:

The error says it. java.util.Map is not allowed by JAXRPC-1.1. See the spec for details of allowed types.

The reason is probably that not every language that implement web services has a notion of maps.

ok but why is it throwing an error about java.util.Map if it's not used?
BTW, by now i solved my problem passing the WebRowSet as an XML String, here is a test method i wrote:

public String getRowSet() throws RemoteException {
 StringWriter sw = new StringWriter();
 WebRowSet wrs;
 Connection conn;
 ResultSet rs;

 try {
 Class.forName("org.postgresql.Driver");
 } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
 throw new RemoteException("Driver exception", e.getCause());
 }

 try {
 conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:postgresql://...", "...", "...");
 } catch (SQLException e) {
 throw new RemoteException("Connection exception", e.getCause());
 }

 try {
 Statement st = conn.createStatement();
 rs = st.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM...");
 } catch (SQLException e) {
 throw new RemoteException("SQL exception", e.getCause());
 }

 try {
 wrs = new WebRowSetImpl();
 wrs.populate(rs);

 conn.close();
 wrs.writeXml(sw);
 return sw.toString();
 } catch (Exception e) {
 throw new RemoteException("WebRowSet exception", e.getCause());
 }
}
