Java 1.5 enum in a web service

[avlevy2k]

Hi All,

I'm trying to create a web service on JBoss 4.0.4.CR2 using java 1.5 annotations and enum types. everything works fine with the annotatins and I use @webservice and @webmethod without problems.

However, when I try to use java 1.5 enum types as the return types (or parameters) to any of my web methods it doesn't translate well on the wsdl. what I get is a empty complex type.

If I use .NET and C# to create the same web service the wsdl shows a simple type with a 'restriction' element and 'enumeration' elements underneath it.

Even when I define a String value to the java 1.5 enum type I create it's only showing it as a String parameter in the wsdl, under the complex type, as if it was a regular pojo, and without showing the acceptable enum values.

Is anyone familiar with this problem?

Is there any example of a web service that uses java 1.5 enums as parameters or return types?

Maybe there is a way I don't know about to program those java 1.5 enum types so JBoss shows the acceptable values in the wsdl.

Thanks,

Thanks for the reply.

I read the jira log and I couldn't quite understand if this fix is included in the latest JBoss AS 4.0.4.CR2.

If not, can you please point me to instructions to setting it up on 4.0.4.CR2.

If yes, do I need to setup anything special for this fix to be applied to my 4.0.4.CR2?

Thanks again,

Hi,

I found and installed the latest jbossws1.0.0.GA. However, I'm not able to deploy a web service that used be deployable with the previous jbossws that I got with 4.0.4.CR2. The problem I have with the previous jbossws is with handling java 1.5 enums, as described on my previous post on this thread. but now I have a deploy problem with the new jbossws 1.0.0GA, when trying to deploy the web service. Bellow is the exception:

Here is the simple web service I'm trying to deploy:

import java.rmi.RemoteException;
import javax.ejb.Remote;
import javax.ejb.Stateless;
import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebService;

@WebService(name = "EndpointInterface" ,
 targetNamespace = "http://localhost:8080",
 serviceName = "TestService")
@Remote(TestEnumWS.class)
@Stateless
public class TestEnumWSEJB implements TestEnumWS {

 @WebMethod
 public TestStatus getUploadStatusRequest(String id)
 throws RemoteException {
 return TestStatus.COMPLETE;
 }
}

public enum TestStatus {
 COMPLETE("cpm"),
 WAITING("wng");

 private final String code;
 private TestStatus(String code){ this.code = code;}
 public String getValue(){ return code;}
}

Thanks for any help or pointers.

We are also experiencing the same problem. Any help on this topic is really appreciated.
