Problem marshalling data from a List
I have a problem sending a list of item to a client.
I send an object, which contains a member that itself stores a list of device objects. These objects store a member that is either a tag or a network device. ( I don't get to define the WSDL or Schema. )
I confirm that my List object does store a collection of devices which each in turn have a tag.
13:58:54,126 DEBUG [AssociationValuesDAO] Device.deviceList: [com.boeing.nmt.types.DeviceData$Device$AeroScoutTag@18a5d49, com.boeing.nmt.types.DeviceData$Device$AeroScoutTag@f2a0ef, com.boeing.nmt.types.DeviceData$Device$AeroScoutTag@123b9c1, com.boeing.nmt.types.DeviceData$Device$AeroScoutTag@786e16, com.boeing.nmt.types.DeviceData$Device$AeroScoutTag@838143, com.boeing.nmt.types.DeviceData$Device$AeroScoutTag@19b7dfa, com.boeing.nmt.types.DeviceData$Device$AeroScoutTag@16bb63e, com.boeing.nmt.types.DeviceData$Device$AeroScoutTag@89e0c6, com.boeing.nmt.types.DeviceData$Device$AeroScoutTag@3fcfb]
I send this across the wire ( server and client are local ). I unpack it and everything works great Until I try to access the tags inside the device objects in the List.
They're NULL.
[java] device list: [com.boeing.nmt.client.ws.DeviceData$Device@102a0a5, com.boeing.nmt.client. ws.DeviceData$Device@180b22e, com.boeing.nmt.client.ws.DeviceData$Device@31fb31, com.boeing.nmt.clie nt.ws.DeviceData$Device@162522b, com.boeing.nmt.client.ws.DeviceData$Device@89dd, com.boeing.nmt.cli ent.ws.DeviceData$Device@15b1773, com.boeing.nmt.client.ws.DeviceData$Device@160bf50, com.boeing.nmt .client.ws.DeviceData$Device@b05236, com.boeing.nmt.client.ws.DeviceData$Device@1e55794] [java] device list size: 9 [java] dev[1]: com.boeing.nmt.client.ws.DeviceData$Device@102a0a5 [java] Exception! java.lang.NullPointerException
I trigger the exception this way:
List <DeviceData.Device> devList = aagr.getAssociationValues().getDeviceData().getDevice();
System.out.println("device list: " + devList.toString() );
System.out.println("device list size: " + devList.size() );
// devList.toArray()[0] is a DeviceData.Device.Tag object, for whatever reason, it's NULL
System.out.println("dev[1]: " + devList.toArray()[0].toString());
System.out.println("dev[1]: " + ((DeviceData.Device)devList.toArray()[0]).toString());
I look back at the logs to see what JBoss is unmarshalling, and it looks fine.

I'm using JBoss 4.0.5 w/ JBossWS 1.2.0. Does anyone have an idea what am I missing?
