Using (Hash)Map in wrapper class

jaap.taal Apr 28, 2007 8:04 PM

I'm using jboss-4.2.0.CR2 with jbossws-1.2.1.GA
I'm trying to deploy the following simple echo webservice.

@WebService()
@SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.RPC)
public class EchoMapSSTest {

 @WebMethod
 public Map<String, String> echoMapSS(Map<String, String> myMap) {
 return myMap;
 }
}

JBoss gives the following error message:

... 28 more
Caused by: com.sun.xml.bind.v2.runtime.IllegalAnnotationsException: 1 counts of IllegalAnnotationExceptions
java.util.Map is an interface, and JAXB can't handle interfaces.
this problem is related to the following location:
at java.util.Map

The JAXB2.0 documentation clearly states that java.util.Map MUST be supported, so I think I'm doing something wrong?

Please help

I've found a related jax-ws topic:

Putting the Hashmap inside a wrapper does work:
@WebService() @SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.RPC) public class EchoMapSSTest { public static class MapWrapper { public Map<String, String> map; } @WebMethod public MapWrapper echoMapSS(MapWrapper myMap) { return myMap; } }

Is this a known JAX-WS issue? I'm not able to find any bug tracked against it.. Can you help me here?

I guess the map isn't really suited to send over a webservice. It was a while ago I was doing this, I'm not sure whether it worked at all.

I ended up with this as SOAPBinding:
@SOAPBinding(style = SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT, use = SOAPBinding.Use.LITERAL, parameterStyle = SOAPBinding.ParameterStyle.WRAPPED)

Hope it helps!

Good luck

It still doesn't work for me... even using a wrapper class.

Any other idea ?
I'm using JAX-WS 2.0.1

Tks.

Currently I'm not using Java let alone JBoss. I'm afraid I can't help you. Good luck!
