Is Jibx the solution for me?

If your homemade class has proper getters and setters, then you can send
an array of that class without problems.

And you can easily convert an ArrayList to an array. Axis2 may actually convert the
ArrayList to an array itself, but I would prefer to do it explicit.

The bottom line is: no problem.

Hello!

Thanks for your reply!

The idea that I got is that I have ejb implementation like:

public ArrayList getList()... (returns a nice list from a db)

What I would love to do is the same, but over SOAP. In other words return a ArrayList, and not a Array. (Even if a Array would be as nice).

Or I'm I wrong? Perhaps it is not possible at all to return such a ArrayList over SOAP. Perhaps I need to do it as a Array (Object[])?

Best regards

Just make a little wrapper that converts the ArrayList to an array and expose
that as a web service.

You can obviously not expose a java.util.ArrayList an expect .NET, PHP and Python code
to be able to consume that.

As I said then it is possible that if you expose your existing method it will be
converted to returning an array by your web service toolkit. But I prefer the
explicit conversion anyway.

I was assuming that all elements in the ArrayList were the same type so you could
return X[].

If it contains different types, then we have a problem.

Hello Arne!

Thanks foor your  reply!

You got a very very good argument there!

"You can obviously not expose a java.util.ArrayList an expect .NET, PHP and Python code to be able to consume that."
