Passing objects to JBoss Webservices

[paparaoa]

Hello,
I have got a web method in my webservice as follows:

@WebMethod
 public Hashtable<String,String> getPointValues(@WebParam(name="pointList") List<String> pointList)
 {
 Hashtable<String, String> pointValueList = new Hashtable<String, String>();
 for(int i=0;i<pointList.size();i++)
 {
 pointValueList.put(pointList.get(i),getValueForPoint(pointList.get(i)));
 }
 return pointValueList;
 }

I am making use of jboss remoting client to invoke the above method.
In the above method it takes argument as a list of string. I am forming a soap message and invoking the above method from my client as follows

Object response = remotingClient.invoke(soapmessage);

where the soap message is as follows:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:obix="http://obixservice/obix" xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<obix:getPointValues>
<pointList>P003</pointList>
<pointList>P002</pointList>
<pointList>P004</pointList>
<pointList>P001</pointList>
<pointList>P005</pointList>
<pointList>P007</pointList>
<pointList>P006</pointList>
<pointList>P010</pointList>
<pointList>P009</pointList>
<pointList>P011</pointList>
<pointList>P008</pointList>
<pointList>P012</pointList>
</obix:getPointValues>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

the getPointValues method mentioned above is expected to return hashtable.
But its returning a string containing soap message.

How do i make this method return a hashtable ?


Thanks

Using a webservice client instead of performing a call directly through remoting would prevent you from manually unmarshalling the soap message ;-)
You might take a look at the distribution samples and the documentation about ws clients: http://jbws.dyndns.org/mediawiki/index.php?title=JAX-WS_User_Guide#Web_Service_Clients
