Unsupported response content type soap error

Question

I have created a java method that returns an array of a class type (my class is an EJB). Then created a web service using Apache soap as deployment platform (see my previous posting for details). Created client stub and client application to access the method and display the result on the screen. When running the client application I get the 'unsupported response content type' error.
Can anyone help please, I am desparate!!!
Thanks

Answer 1

I have created the following EJB class and another class that has got the web method:
package orbatlistarraypackage;
import java.util.Date;
import java.io.Serializable;
public class OrbatType implements java.io.Serializable
public String orbatName;
public int orbatID;
public OrbatType()
public void setOrbatName(String pName)
orbatName = pName;
public String getOrbatName()
return orbatName;
public void setOrbatID(int pID)
orbatID = pID;
public int getOrbatID()
return orbatID;
I have another class that is an array of the OrbatType class and has a webmethod that returns the array.
package orbatlistarraypackage;
import java.sql.*;
public class OrbatListArray
OrbatType [] orbatList;
public OrbatListArray()
private void setOrbatArray() throws Exception
Connection cn = GetOrbatConnection.getConnection();
Statement st = cn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery("SELECT DESCRIPTION as ORBATNAME, ID AS ORBATID FROM ORBATS");
//to get number of records to determine array size
int noOfRecords;
noOfRecords = 0;
while(rs.next())
noOfRecords = noOfRecords + 1;
//new recordset as rs is once only forward reading recordset.
ResultSet rsOrbat = st.executeQuery("SELECT DESCRIPTION as ORBATNAME, ID AS ORBATID FROM ORBATS");
orbatList = new OrbatType[noOfRecords];
int i;
i = 0;
while(rsOrbat.next())
orbatList[i] = new OrbatType();
orbatList.SetOrbatName(rsOrbat.getString("ORBATNAME"));
orbatList[i].SetOrbatID(rsOrbat.getInt("ORBATID"));
i = i + 1;
rs.close();
rsOrbat.close();
@webmethod
public OrbatType [] getOrbatListArray() throws Exception
SetOrbatArray();
for(int i=0;i<orbatList.length;i++)
System.out.println(orbatList[i].GetOrbatName());
System.out.println(orbatList[i].GetOrbatID());
return orbatList;
//dummy to just generate the web service
//public int foo() {return 0;}
/*this works
public static void main(String arg[]) throws Exception
OrbatListArray myArray = new OrbatListArray();
myArray.GetOrbatListArray();
Does this answer your question? If so can you help please?
Thanks
