Web Service and Arrays

[howardu]

I am having a problem with arrays of objects in my web service interface.
Is there a way to get arrays of objects to work with the wstools?

I am getting the following stack trace when I try to call my web service.

[java] org.jboss.ws.WSException: Cannot load java type: com.dynaccsys.soa.wsdl.InvoiceType.Array

Here's my web service client:

public class WebServiceClient
{
public final String TARGET_ENDPOINT_ADDRESS = "http://localhost:8080/soaDemo/Finaince_LoBService";

private static ContractorInvoice_ContractorInvoice port;

protected void setUp() throws Exception
{
ServiceFactoryImpl factory = new ServiceFactoryImpl();
URL wsdlURL = new URL(TARGET_ENDPOINT_ADDRESS + "?wsdl");
URL mappingURL = new File("gen/jaxrpc-mapping.xml").toURL();
QName qname = new QName("http://gov.osera.bpel", "Finaince_LoBService");
Service service = factory.createService(wsdlURL, qname, mappingURL);
port = (ContractorInvoice_ContractorInvoice)service.getPort(ContractorInvoice_ContractorInvoice.class);
}

public static void main(String[] args)
{
try
{
WebServiceClient webServiceClient = new WebServiceClient();
webServiceClient.setUp();
InvoiceType[] invoices = new InvoiceType[1];
String correlationId = "0";
port.invoices(invoices,correlationId);
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}

I have a wsdl file that is being used to generate all of my java classes using wstools wsdl-java

The wsdl includes the following complex type:
<xsd:complexType name="InvoicesType">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="invoice" type="invoice:InvoiceType"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

This type is being used in the service parameters to generate the following method:
public interface ContractorInvoice_ContractorInvoice extends java.rmi.Remote
{

public void invoices(com.dynaccsys.soa.wsdl.InvoiceType[] invoices,java.lang.String correlationId) throws java.rmi.RemoteException;
}

The problem was actually discovered once I got the log4j to show the following message: [java] 23:30:38,015 WARN [JSR109ClientMetaDataBuilder] Cannot obtain the SEI mapping for: {http://gov.osera.bpel}Finaince_LoBService_1

This led me to figure out how to use all of the @Webservice @Webmethod and @Webparam annotations to match up the wsdl names with the generated java code names as follows:

@WebService(name = "ContractorInvoice_ContractorInvoice", targetNamespace = "http://gov.osera.bpel", serviceName = "Finaince_LoBService")
@SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.RPC)
public class ContractorInvoiceService
{
@WebMethod(operationName="Invoices")
public void invoices(
@WebParam(name="Invoices") InvoiceType[] invoices,
@WebParam(name="correlationId") java.lang.String correlationId) throws java.rmi.RemoteException
