1. Re: Custom class with Jboss.net
The usual place for application objects is ... tara ... the application package, in your case the the ejb-jar.
To deal with these classes, JBoss.net/Axis however needs mapping information in the form of a serializer/deserializer pair (e.g. a Bean(De)Serializer that canonically maps bean properties to xml elements). This can be specified in the webservice deployment descriptor (in your wsr) as follows:
Note that as of JBoss3.2, these descriptors can be easily generated using our jboss.net xdoclet module and tag annotations in your custom objects:
/**
* A serializable data object for testing data passed to an EJB through
* the web service interface.
* @author jung
* @version $Revision: 1.1.2.1 $
* @jboss-net:xml-schema urn="hello:HelloData"
*/
public class HelloData
implements java.io.Serializable
{
private String name;
public String getName()
{
return name;
}
public void setName(String name)
{
this.name = name;
}
}
Hope that helps,

2. Re: Custom class with Jboss.net
Thank you for your reply, Dr. Jung.
However, I wanted to let you know that I followed Neal Sanche's example to the letter, including the xml-schema tag you mention in your reply. The generated web-services.xml file appears below.
As you can see, the cert:User class has been identified by the xdoclet plugin and included in the file. I can confirm that the User class is included in the ejb.jar file as well.
Our application deployments do have a special application-scoped class loader, but even when I disable that loader, the classDefNotFound errors persist.

3. Re: Custom class with Jboss.net
which version of jboss are you using?
(NoClassDefs in contrast to ClassNotFounds are a hint that not the
target class itself could not be found, but a linked class from there).
How do you deploy the whole stuff ear(ejb-jar,wsr)?
Could you maybe send me a small deployment unit such that I could verify it?

4. Re: Custom class with Jboss.net
Dr. Jung. Thank you again for your reply.
There were two issues I was tripping over. The first (see the odd posting starting with "Eye of Newt" in this forum), had to do with a class collision between the commons-logging.jar file I was loading in my WAR and the commons-loading.jar already in the jboss-net sub-directory. That was easy to solve (once I figured out what was going on).
This other one had an equally simple solution, though the results are slightly imperfect. If I include a copy of the custom class (actually the full jar from the project) in the wsr file, the class deploys without issue.
-- Actually, something you said in your last post made me want to try it without the jar. That seems to work now as well --
The only issue remaining may not have a resolution. The class gets recognized during the WSDL generation as cert:User, but SoapEnvelopes returned from calls to the service list the class as ns1:User, and java sees the class as org.apache.crimson.tree.ElementNode2, which that's probably a default. The upshot is that Java Clients have to treat the object as a Node rather than as an Object. Since our consumer is a .NET client, that may not be an issue.
If you have any thoughts on this, please let me know:
(FYI: Jboss 3.2.2. Please let me know if you would still like to see a sample deployment unit.)
