Axis webservice returning an array of class

Thread view:

jeremy - 10 Mar 2007 01:04 GMT

I've created a class with two public properties of type string
(example below). I've created a method in my web service which
returns an array of the class. Compiles fine, but the class
properties don't appear in the web service response, or in the wsdl.
Any help appreciated.

Example:

Class I want to return an array of:
public class WorkGroup implements java.io.Serializable
{
static final long serialVersionUID = 1;
public String Name;
public String SearchCode;

public WorkGroup(IWorkGroup pWorkGroup)
{
this.Name = pWorkGroup.getName();
this.SearchCode = pWorkGroup.getSearchcode();
}

WebService:

public Class PersonWS
{
public WorkGroup[] ListWorkGroups(String strPerson)
{
....
}
}

WSDL:

I am not sure if Axis would expose these two FIELDs within Web
Service. But why don't you declare them as properties with getter and
setter method? I believe it could work.

Ok, I changed the class to use the get and set methods, but I'm still
having the same problem

public class WorkGroup implements java.io.Serializable
{
static final long serialVersionUID = 1;
private String strName_m;
private String strSearchCode_m;

public WorkGroup()
{
}
public WorkGroup(IWorkGroup pWorkGroup)
{
this.Name = pWorkGroup.getName();
this.SearchCode = pWorkGroup.getSearchcode();
}

public String getName()
    {
        return strName_m;
    }

    public void setName(String strName)
    {
        strName_m = strName;
    }

    public String getSearchCode()
    {
        return strSearchCode_m;
    }

    public void setSearchCode(String strSearchCode)
    {
        strSearchCode_m = strSearchCode;
    }
}
