Simple custom return type in Apache Axis

Thread view:

I'm trying to figure out how exactly to return a custom type using
Apache Axis.

I'm implementing a method in all future web services called
"ServiceStatus". This method will return 2 fields "status" (string) and
"comment" (string).

What would be the easiest way to implement this in Axis? I *think* it
would be to use an interface at which I would point Java2WSDL, but the
docs don't really go into detail about how exactly I would return a
custom type using this method.

After I use Java2WSDL and WSDL2Java, what file do I need to look at in
order to setup my service?

I really don't understand your problem: String is *not* a custom type.

I was trying to create a complex type which contained 2 strings, but
decied to use two <part> tags instead.

I couldn't find an easy to get Java2WSDL to generate either, instead I
had to resort to editing the WSDL after I generated a basic WSDL with
JavaWSDL. After doing so I modified my method to return a 2 part
response:
<wsdl:message name="getServiceStatusResponse">
<wsdl:part name="status" type="xsd:string"/>
<wsdl:part name="comment" type="xsd:string"/>
</wsdl:message>

Now I need to figure out how to get that response into my client :)
