Hi there.

I have the same problem as Andrea explained (using: document/literal/wrapped). Is there any solution available yet? Or did you found a workaround or anything else? (Not changing the wsdl manually)

And when I change the ParameterStyle to bare I'm getting a nullpointer exception. I read already something about it and found out that this appears by forgetting the @Oneway annotation for void methods. The problem is that i am not using void methods yet.

@Stateless
@WebService( name="EndpointInterface", targetNamespace="http://localhost:8080", serviceName="MaseSystemService")
@PortComponent(contextRoot="/MaseSystemService", urlPattern="/webservice")
@SOAPBinding(style=SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT, use=SOAPBinding.Use.LITERAL, parameterStyle=SOAPBinding.ParameterStyle.BARE)

public class MaseSystemServiceImpl implements MaseSystemService, Serializable {
 [...]


 @WebMethod
 public WsProject[] getAllProjects() throws RemoteException {
 [...]
 }

 @WebMethod
 public WsIteration[] getAllIterationsByProject(long id, boolean includingCompleted) throws RemoteException {
 [...]
 }
}

Related to Andreas problem.

It seems that when returning a POJO (or array of POJOs) to .NET AND using @SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT) you will see the problem.

The workaround is to use RPC and .NET is happy, here is a modified example using a 181 Web Service, return an array of Person objects containing one Address objects (a weak example, I know but illustrates the point):

package org.jboss.samples;

import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding;
import javax.jws.soap.SOAPBinding.Use;


@WebService
@SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.RPC)
public class POJOService {
 @WebMethod(operationName="GetPersonByID")
 public Person getPerson(String id)
 {
 System.out.println("Actually just ignoring the id for " +
 " this example code: " + id);
 Person somebody = new Person();
 somebody.setName("Burr Sutter");
 somebody.setAge(24);
 somebody.setBirthDate(new java.util.Date());
 return somebody;
 }

 @WebMethod (operationName="GetAllPeopleArray")
 public Person[] getPeople() {
 Person[] results = new Person[2];
 Person a = new Person();
 a.setName("Burr Sutter");
 a.setAge(24);
 a.setBirthDate(new java.util.Date());
 Address anAddress1 = new Address();
 anAddress1.setStreetAddr1("123 ABC Lane");
 anAddress1.setStreetAddr1("Suite 200");
 anAddress1.setCity("Atlanta");
 a.setAddress(anAddress1);
 results[0] = a;

 Person b = new Person();
 b.setName("Thomas Diesler");
 b.setAge(23);
 b.setBirthDate(new java.util.Date());
 Address anAddress2 = new Address();
 anAddress2.setStreetAddr1("456 XYZ Street");
 anAddress2.setStreetAddr1("Box 221");
 anAddress2.setCity("New York");
 b.setAddress(anAddress2);
 results[1] = b;

 return results;
 }

 @WebMethod (operationName="AddPerson")
 public void addPerson(Person person) {
 System.out.println("\n\n");
 System.out.println(person.getName());
 System.out.println(person.getAddress().getStreetAddr1());
 System.out.println(person.getAge());
 }
}

 Dim proxy As New JBossPOJO.POJOServiceService

 Dim results As JBossPOJO.Person() = proxy.GetAllPeopleArray
 For Each item As JBossPOJO.Person In results
 MsgBox(item.name & " " & item.address.streetAddr1)
 Next

 JBossPOJO.POJOServiceService proxy =
 new JBossPOJO.POJOServiceService();
 JBossPOJO.Person[] people = proxy.GetAllPeopleArray();
 StringBuilder x = new StringBuilder();
 foreach (JBossPOJO.Person aPerson in people)
 {
 x.Append(aPerson.name + " " +
 aPerson.address.streetAddr1 + "\n");
 }
 TextBox1.Text = x.ToString();

Hi there. Thanks Burr.
My webservice is now also available for C#.NET. I think the main problem was that we used Visual Studio 2003 for the client and not 2005...

I am not sure but maybe it is the same problem which Andrea has, because the methods were created exactly in the same way as Andrea described when we used 2003. But now with using version 2005 and @SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.RPC) it works fine.

By the way Burr. Your example shows everything what is needed so it can't be a weak example ;)

Thanks and greets,
Andreas

Ps.: Why you didn't use the @Oneway annotation for the void method. As I said i read about it and thought that this appears a NullPointer. But I couldn't find the thread at the forum anymore :( I tried it out without this annotation and it still works fine... but I am still wondering.

Would you like to share your experiences with other users? The WIKI would be a good starting point: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossWSAndDotNet
