Badly formed response from Axis 1.3 generated WSDL
write2...@gmail.com
I am having a problem using Axis 1.3 to create a web service with a
complex return type.
My example is pretty simple:
I am returning a single Vehicle object which has a RegNumber int field
and an array of Driver objects each of which has a driverId int field
and a name String field.
The problem I am getting is that in the xml response that is being
sent the driver array tag and the tags for the individual drivers
themselves are both getting the name of the driver array in my Java
code.
i.e.This is my response
ResponseCode: 200 (OK)

This seems to result in the returned data not coming through as I
guess the response doesn''t really make sense.
Has anyone else experienced the same problem and if so what do I need
to change to fix it???
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
