Exception with INOUT-Mode in a document\literal-Webservice

[mugwump]

I'm getting a strange exception when I try to return a SOAPElement in a document\literal webservice:

11:00:52,564 INFO [AxisServlet] java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal argument passed to ParameterDesc.setJavaType. The java type javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement does not match the mode inout

We are using the wscompile with the nodatabinding-option, so the signature of the generated port-implementation looks like this:

public SOAPElement signup(SOAPElement orderElement) throws RemoteException;

The Webservice runs flawless, as long as we don't return anything (public void signup(SOAPElement orderElement) ) - we only get the exception when we switch to inout.

Here is the relevant part of the wsdl:

<message name="OrderRequest">
 <part name="request" element="orderTypes:ullOrder" />
 </message>

 <message name="OrderResponse">
 <part name="request" element="orderTypes:returnCode" />
 </message>

 <portType name="SignupPort">
 <operation name="signup" >
 <input message="tns:OrderRequest" />
 <output message="tns:OrderResponse" />
 </operation>
 </portType>

 <binding type="tns:SignupPort" name="SignupBinding">
 <soap:binding style="document"
 transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http" />

 <operation name="signup">
 <soap:operation soapAction="" />
 <input>
 <soap:body use="literal" />
 </input>
 <output>
 <soap:body use="literal"/>
 </output>
 </operation>
 </binding>

 <service name="SignupServices">
 <port name="SignupPort" binding="tns:SignupBinding">
 <soap:address location="REPLACE_WITH_ACTUAL_URL"/>
 </port>
 </service>

 </definitions>

I found an entry in jira that looks vaguely related:
http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBWS-381

but I'm still wondering about the consequences: Does this mean we won't be able to use document\literal on return-types before 4.0.4 is out?

ok, sorry guys: The problem had another root in an exception that was catched but not rethrown - the method therefore returned NULL instead of an initialised SOAP-Element, which resulted in the above strange exception. My fault and the fault of the misleading exception...

Could you please tell me how you fixed it .
I have the same problem. I have jboss4.01 SP3, created doc/lit webservices and used Sun WSDP -wsimport to generate java classes.
Also used wscompile to generate the mapping .
I'm getting the following error while trying to access the wsdl file

This should be fixed in jboss-4.0.4. You can you try the latest Branch_4_0

How did you write a DOC/Literal webs ervice using JBoss4.0.1SP1? There is no JBoss AS guide for this version. The guide for JBoss 4.0.2 and JBoss 4.0.3 only has RPC instruction and sample. I need help on how to create a document/literal web service using JBoss4.0.1. Any help would be really appreciated.
