Is it possible to return an array of objects from a web service?

I have been trying to do this for a while now, and I have come to the conclusion that it may be impossible. To demonstate what I want to do I enclose a simple java file [1]. I have deployed this with Axis 2 and I enclose the responce [2], it is obciously not wat I want.
Is it porrible to do this? If so, how?
Thanks for any help,

          retArray[0].name = "one";
          retArray[0].value = "alpha";
          retArray[1] = new SampleElement();
          retArray[1].name = "two";
          retArray[1].value = "beta";
          return retArray;

Hi
Can anybody help me with the code of how to return a resultset from a web service. i have put the resultset data's in an object array and tried to return it, but in the client side no data comes ,,, i mean it is printed as null.... and plz tell me where to specify the return type of a object in the wsdl file....

Deserialize an array of objects from a web service

Hi, I'm calling a webservice method which returns an array of
objects (let's
say classes called MyClass).
I now want to define a class in actionscript called MyClass
which matches
the properties of the class defined in the web service
(written in .NET),
call the webservice method, and then deserialize the result
in actionscript
into an array of type MyClass.
The code I have so far is:
import mx.services.WebService;
import mx.services.Log;
var mylog:Log = new Log(Log.DEBUG);
myLog.onLog = function(txt) {
trace(txt);
var ws:WebService = new WebService(wsc.WSDLURL);
ws.onLoad = function(wsdl) {
MyPendingCallObject =
ws.CallTheWebServiceMethodWhichReturnsAnArrayOfMyClasses();
MyPendingCallObject.onResult = function(result)
trace(result);
// HOW CAN I DESERIALIZE the result parameter into an Array
of
MyClass ???
MyPendingCallObject.onFault = function(fault)
trace('FAULT! ' + fault.faultCode + "," +
fault.faultstring);
// If the WSDL fails to load the onFault event is fired.
ws.onFault = function(fault) {
trace(fault.faultstring);
TIA

I suggest you look into the JNI, Java Native Interface. The answer is yes.

Return a Data Holder Object from WS

Hi!
My colleagues at the other end of the office are building Web Services using .NET
and Visual Studio and I'm trying to beat them with Workshop. Most of the time I win
but I have one problem, that is returning objects. When I return objects from my
Web Service I'm forced to format the return XML myself via ECMA script. If I don't
do that my Web Service returns an empty xml message. The problem is that when calling
my WS from .NET it returns an XMLNode instead of an object. I would like my method
to return an object which could be used from .NET without manual conversion from
XML. Is this possible?
When I'm calling .NET Web Services which return an object I receive an object automatically
without manually converting XML to the actual object I want.

Some data is missing while returning complex datatype from a web service

Hi
I am returning a complex data type from a web service. complex data type has a super class and some(not all) values from this super class are not being returned to the client. Strange part is that it giving some fields from super class and some values are not returned.
I saw the soap response also it does not show any tag for those fields. but while creating a response i am setting some string values to those fields but i am not getting at client side.
all the serailiastion and deseialization classes where created using ANT tasks and i have checked that all the cedec classes have been created.

for what it's worth, the same problem was reported by one of our developers, although the string size was considerably smaller (probably less then 1 MB). According to him, soap clients generated from apache tools could connect fine and process the XML records. JDev hung. We simply changed our use case to return smaller results sets, but perhaps you could also generate your clients with WSDL2Java rather then JDev (if it is a truly a bug in JDev SOAP)? Can you add record parameters to the payload, in order to limit the results and scroll between remaining rows?

Extracting Array of objects from web service

After a couple days of head banging I now have a webservice
call executing and I am trying to extract / create a class from the
ResultEvent:
If the xml returned from the web service is:
<people>
<person name="Mike" />
<person name="Dave" />
</people>
and the class is:
class Person
public var Name:String;
The result event is:
private function doResults(result:ResultEvent):void
// how do I create an array of Person objects from result, I
would also like to know how to create a typed array something like
class PersonList if possible. I just need the raw how to loop the
result and set the values on the class
Thanks,
Mike

Well I wound up with just trial and error until I got it
working, Im sure this will be improved as I go, but it's enough to
press on with the app for now, this code is in the result function
and result is the ResultEvent wich appears to be an array of
generic objects representing the objects returned by the service.
This in no way uses FDS and is talking to a simple dotnet / asp.net
web service.
// here app is a singleton class for app level data it is
bindable and is used to update the view which in this example is
bound to a public var MyObjects which in this case is an
ArrayCollection, I unbox to MyObject in a custom view control
for (var s:String in result.result)
m = new MyObject();
m.ID = result.result[s].ID;
m.Name = result.result[s].Name;
m.Type = result.result[s].Type;
app.MyObjects.addItem(m);
It also appears that you should create the WebService one
time, and store refrences to the methods during app startup, the
methods are called Operations and it appears you set the result and
fault events then call send on the operation to get the data.
// store this in a singleton app class
var ws:WebService = new WebService();
ws.wsdl = "
http://dev.domain.com/WebService.asmx?WSDL";
ws.addEventListener("result",doResults);
ws.addEventListener("fault",doFault);
ws.loadWSDL();
// this is the operation which is also stored in the
singleton app class
var op:AbstractOperation = ws.getOperation("GetModules");
// elsewere in the app we get the operation refrence setup
result and fault and call send, then copy the generic object into
our cutom classes using the first chunk of code above
op.addEventListener("result",doResults);
op.addEventListener("fault",doFault);
op.send();
I thought I would post this as I could find no such example
in the offline or online docs, If anyone has a better way or see's
a problem please post.
I hope helps others with non FDS service calls and I look
forward to hearing comments.
Thanks,
Mike

Oracle ADF Mobile getting array of objects from webservice

hi,
i am trying to fetch a certain number of records using a webservice call and then storing in the SQLLite DB in the mobile.
i understand i can create a data control using the webservice > then?
my webservice returns an array of objects.
how can i do that?
regards,
ad

It's fairly easy.
What I have done is created a WebService Controller (plain java class) which calls the methods (from the WS) programmaticly.
Example :
public class WSController {
    private final String WSDataControllerName = "ThisIsTheNameOfMyWebserviceDataControl";
    private List pnames ,ptypes ,params;
    public WSController() {
        super();
    public List getAllActioncodesFromWS()
       //start - WS empty params
        pnames = new ArrayList();
        params = new ArrayList();
        ptypes = new ArrayList();
        pnames.add("findCriteria");
        params.add(null);
        ptypes.add(Object.class);
        pnames.add("findControl");
        params.add(null);
        ptypes.add(Object.class);
        //end - WS empty params
        List actionCodes = new ArrayList();
        try
            GenericType result = (GenericType)AdfmfJavaUtilities.invokeDataControlMethod(WSDataControllerName, null, "findActioncodesView1",pnames, params, ptypes);
            if(result!=null)
                for (int i = 0; i < result.getAttributeCount(); i++)
                    GenericType row = (GenericType)result.getAttribute(i);
                    Actioncode wd = (Actioncode)GenericTypeBeanSerializationHelper.fromGenericType(Actioncode.class, row);
                    actionCodes.add(wd);
        catch (AdfInvocationException e)
            e.getMessage();
        catch (Exception e)
            e.getMessage();
     return actionCodes;
    }I also defined a Pojo named Actioncode :
Note that the attribute names are completly the same as the VO from the web service.
public class Actioncode {
    String Actioncode,Descript1;
    public Actioncode() {
        super();
    public Actioncode(String Actioncode, String Descript1) {
        super();
        this.Actioncode = Actioncode;
        this.Descript1 = Descript1;
    public void setActioncode(String Actioncode) {
        this.Actioncode = Actioncode;
    public String getActioncode() {
        return Actioncode;
    public void setDescript1(String Descript1) {
        this.Descript1 = Descript1;
    public String getDescript1() {
        return Descript1;
}Since the WS method returns a GenericType, you can 'convert' that object to an POJO.
Read more about it here :
http://adf4beginners.blogspot.be/2013/01/adf-mobile-how-to-iterate-over-all-rows.html
I know the blog post is about iterating over rows in an iterator, but it's just to illustrate how you can work with the GenericType

Problem with return a ColdFusion query object from a Java class

Hi!
I need to return a ColdFusion query object from a Java class
using a JDBC result set ( java.sql.ResultSet);
I have tried to pass my JDBC result set in to the constructor
of the coldfusion.sql.QueryTable class with this code:
ColdFusion code
<cfset pra = createObject("java","QueryUtil").init()>
<cfset newQuery = CreateObject("java",

execute : "<cfset pra =

An exception occurred when instantiating a java object. The

Problem in passing/returning objects over dynamic web service call

Hi Friends,
I am beginner in java web service.
Here is the problem I am facing when I pass/return user defined objects to remote web service method using dynamic we service call.
The client can call the remote web service method in 2 ways.
1. By generating client stubs using WSDL file
- In this case, I am able to pass/return the user defined objects to remote method without any issue only when the server side web services are deployed in any server(jboss)
- But in java 1.6 & above, the web services can be deployed without server using endpoint. In this case, I am not able to pass/return objects over web service calls.
2. Without generating client stubs (dynamic web service call)
- This will establish a connection at run time using the given WSDL file (I have attached the document). I have to form an XML(This will contain API name, arguments) string as input at run time
- In this case, it allows only string as argument while passing & returning.
Please let me know if you can help me on this.
Regards,
pani

Creating an arrays of objects from a class

I was wondering does any one know how to create an array of objects from a class?
I am trying to create an array of objects of a class.
class name ---> Class objectArray[100] = new Class;
I cant seem to make a single class but i need to figure out how to create an array of objects.
I can make a normal class with Class object = new Class

There are four lines of code in your for-loop that actually do something:
for(index = 0; index < rooms.length; index++) {
/*1*/ assignWidth.setWidth(Double.parseDouble(in.readLine()));
/*2*/ rooms[index] = assignWidth;
/*3*/ assignLength.setWidth(Double.parseDouble(in.readLine());
/*4*/ rooms[index] = assignLength;
}1.) Sets the width of an object, that has been instantiated outside the loop.
2.) assigns that object to the current position in the array
3.) Sets the width of a second object that has been instantiated outside the loop
4.) assigns that other object to the current position in the array
btw.: I bet you meant "assignLength.setLength(Double.parseDouble(in.readLine());" in line 3 ;)
Since each position in an array can only hold one value, the first assignment (line 2) is overwritten by the second assignment (line 4)
When I said "construct a new room-object and assign it to rooms[index]" I meant something like this:
for(index = 0; index < rooms.length; index++) {
    Room aNewRoom = new Room();
    aNewRoom.setWidth(Double.parseDouble(in.readLine()));
    aNewRoom.setLength(Double.parseDouble(in.readLine());
    rooms[index] = aNewRoom;
}1.) Constructs a new Object in every iteration of the for-loop. (btw: I don't know what kind of objects you're using, so this needs most likely modification!!)
2.) set the width of the newly created object
3.) set the length of the newly created object
4.) assign the newly created object to the current position in the array
-T-
btw. this would do the same:
for(index = 0; index < rooms.length; index++) {
    rooms[index] = new Room();
    rooms[index].setWidth(Double.parseDouble(in.readLine()));
    rooms[index].setLength(Double.parseDouble(in.readLine());
}but be sure you understand it. Your teacher most likely wants you to explain it ;)

Is it possible to return a figure back to the database from a web service

I have a REST web service setup that has 4 values
Is it possible to use a db call to grab these 4 values that can be used in an insert to the database?
Thanks

If it were SOAP webservices there are other ways, but a simple REST you could do it like this:
select httpuritype('http://the.server.com/the_url?the_parameters').getxml()
from dual
/That gets you an XMLType object that you can then parse to get the results. For example using the XMLTable() function.
You can see [url http://dspsd.blogspot.dk/2012/10/find-your-way-with-httpuritype-and.html]an example of this method that I blogged about two days ago ;-)
Edit: Fixed typo HttpUriTType -> HttpUriType ;-)
Edit again: Fixed method name getxml()

Error while returning complex data type in a J2EE web service

Hello,
I am implementing J2EE web service which returns array of custom class object.
I have implemented serializable interface to custom class, and also to session bean.
But it gives the following error:
Serializing object [Lcom.ltitl.j2ee.ejb.classes.ProjectDetails;@2a2289 fails. Nested message: XML Serialization Error. Object of Class [com.ltitl.j2ee.ejb.classes.ProjectDetails] does not have property [ObjId] of type [java.lang.Integer]. Check if the right object is passed to the serialization routine..
As error stated about some property ObjId..I tried including such property in my class. But now it gave exception while deploying stating that ObjId already defined.
Also I want to return multiple arrays of complex custom classes. i tried using vectors but didnt work. What is the method to return arrays of complex custom classes.
Please help..
Abhijeet

Trying to create a web service that returns a Collection doesn't seem to be possible in Netweaver. The reason for this is that languages other than Java have difficulty in mapping Collections, amongst others, to their own native equivalents.
There is a discussion on the subject here you may find useful:
http://forum.capescience.com/showthreaded.php?Cat=&Board=webservices&Number=147&page=0&view=collapsed&sb=5&o=&vc=1
The short answer is to use object Arrays instead, or a custom class that contains an array of each type of object you would expect to find in your Vector
Hope this helps

Return multiple values from a Web Service

Hi,
I'm learning JAX-WS web services and I'm wondering, how do I return multiple data like, say multiple rows from a table through a web service? I understand that I can use Holders, but those are for JAX-RPC if I'm not mistaken, and I'd like to know the alternative for JAX-WS(if there is any).
Any help would be much appreciated.

Also, There was an error regarding javax.naming.Name saying that JAXB couldn't handle interfaces.yes, you can't return any interfaces. so, instead of returning a List, you have to return an ArrayList. if you use xjc to generate types from a schema, then it will normally generate a "wrapper" class around any collections (which will in turn hold a List).

Problem in fetching values from Java Web Service returning ArrayList

Hi all,
I am calling an External Java web Service from BPEL. That Java Web Service is returning an Arraylist.
I am not able to assign the values returned by the Java web service to local String Variables of BPEL.
Kindly help me...

Hi,
My problem has been resolved..
I have used
bpws:getVariableData('Invoke_1_useSSH_OutputVariable','parameters',concat('/ns7:useSSHResponseElement/ns7:result/ns8:item\[',bpws:getVariableData('count'),']'))
where count is the local int variable which contains the index value of the arraylist i.e. which index element we want to retrieve from arraylist.
Thanks....

Reading an Array of Objects from a .bin file!

Hey, at the moment I'm creating a program whereby I write a set of objects onto a bin file, in this case an array of objects with a String name/county, and int population/area.... I'm not trying to read it back from the bin file and encountering trouble! I've managed to get it working using plain objects, however I want to be able to read in arrays of objects.

Why bother filling any elements at all when you are reading the objects from a file?
What happens if there are less than 50 objects in your file?
I will assume CoastalTowns holds info about a single town, so why is it pluralised? Do you have a class called Dog or Dogs, Chair or Chairs, Person or People?
} catch (IOException i) {}
catch (ClassNotFoundException c) {}DO NOT swallow exceptions. At the very least put in a call to printStackTrace so you know if/when an exception occurs.
I'd appreciate a fast reply!I typed as fast as I could but unfortunately I'm still and hunt and peck guy.
