Enums as members of another class????

Question

Hi ,
I have the following example on the server side
public Enum Colors
RED,
ORANGE,
UNKNOWN,
the above enum is in a separate file/class
Now the webservice class.
@WebService
public class A
Colors myColor =Colors.UNKNOWN
public void setMyColor(Colors newValue)
MyColor = newValue;
public Colors getMyColor()
return myColor;
Now On the client side...(Using .NET WebReference)
if I say
A MyServer = new A();
A.setMyColor(Color.RED)
A.getMyColor(). returns UNKNOWN...I still get this as UNKNOWN?????
Please let me know what is the best way to achieve this?
Regards,
Vijay

Answer 1

I tried the following using JAX-WS on both the client and the server and it worked fine using the latest build.
@WebService(name="Echo", serviceName="echoService", targetNamespace="http://echo.org/")
public class EchoImpl {
// Enum tests
public enum Color { RED, ORANGE, UNKNOWN};
Color color = Color.UNKNOWN;
@WebMethod
public void setColor(Color color) {
this.color = color;
@WebMethod
public Color getColor() {
return color;
Client:
stub.setColor(Color.RED);
assertTrue(stub.getColor().equals(Color.RED));
