    TypeMapping problem

      Hello !

      During deployment of my webservice (JSE) a warning in the server log shows up stating there is a problem with my typemapping. I'm using JBoss 4.0.0RC2.
      The warning is:
      ...
      2004-09-14 09:20:02,628 WARN [org.jboss.webservice.deployment.TypeMappingDescription] Class not found: de.emediapark.lvsws.ArrayOfLVSDoSupplier
      ...
      The class LVSDoSupplier itself is correctly mapped as stated in the log
      several lines prior to this warning.
      There is a function getSuppliers() that returns LVSDoSupplier[] Array.
      This warning didnt't show up deploying the same web service under Tomcat/Axis wtihout JBoss.
      I wouldn't mind if i hadn't this annoying problem:
      Accessing the getSuppliers() function (viaPocketSOAP) from Windows NT4/VB everything is correct (the retruned array is filled with the right data), but on Win2000/XP the data in the returned array is empty although the correct number of array elements is contained. The function getSupplier() which returns a single LVSDoSupplier Object is OK on all platforms. The getSuppliers() function was ok on all platforms before switching to JBossWS.

      So I think i must start with the above mentioned warning.

      For completeness: here is my type mapping from ws4ee-deployment.xml
      <deployment
      xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/"
      xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java"
      xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
      xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance"
      xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
      xmlns:lvsns="http://lvsws.emediapark.de">
      ...

      ...


      TIA Gerhard

          For completeness: where is your type mapping from ws4ee-deployment.xml ?

          LOL

            Sorry, sometimes cut and paste is quite difficult.

            So here is my ws4ee-deployment.xml:

            <deployment
            xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/"
            xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java"
            xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema-instance"
            xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
            xmlns:lvsns="http://lvsws.emediapark.de">









            With this deployment info the warning about missing class information for ArrayOfLVSDoSupplier is found in the server log.

            After some search on the internet i found an example to specify the
            missing array class for LVSDoSupplier[]; I added this type mapping:



            ... and the warning didn't come up again.
            So evrything is working now. Even my problem with different results on the clients (NT,2000,XP - see my fist posting) is resolved. It turned out to be caused by mixing different pocketSOAP Versions.

            TIA Gerhard

              ... I'm pulling my hair out, where is my deployment info.
              Once again:

              ...
<typeMapping qname="lvsns:LVSDoSupplier"
 type="java:de.emediapark.lvsws.LVSDoSupplier"
 serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.BeanSerializerFactory"

 encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" />

<typeMapping qname="lvsns:ArrayOfLVSDoSupplier"
 type="java:de.emediapark.lvsws.LVSDoSupplier[]"
 serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.ArraySerializerFactory"
 deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.ArrayDeserializerFactory"
 encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" />
...

              Sorry for wasting bandwidth.

                Beware that you are violating the BasicProfile R1006 when you are using rpc/encoded. Stick to literal encoding.

                  I'm still having trouble with a very similar problem. I'm using an array as an input, rather than a return value. I followed the type mapping described above and now I'm getting a "No deserializer defined for array type InventoryUpdate". I'm confused because I have both the InventoryUpdate type and the ArrayOfInventoryUpdate mapped to a BeanDeserializer and an ArrayDeserializer respectively.

                  Here is the debug output from the server.log:

                    I guess your typemapping is not correct. To get sure, I would have to see the wsdl-file.

                    I guess ArrayOf... is not an array, it conatins an array of types.

                    The only way we found to get this working was, to create a class for that ArrayOf.. type.
                    For ArrayOf... you need the BeanSerializer/BeanDeserializer then.

                      The Axis ArraySerializer is strictly for rpc/encoded only. If you have arrays with literal encoding, you should wrap them with a pojo.

                      class ArrayWrapper {
 private <Type> array;
 public <Type> getArray() {...}
 public void setArray(<Type> arrValues) {}
}
