Mapping XML object to java object gives ClassCastException

Question

Hi All,
I am trying to map a specific XML object to a specific java object using web
services and received the following exception:
java.lang.ClassCastException: weblogic.soap.xml.XMLObject
at $Proxy0.getMonster(Unknown Source)
at serviceClient.TestServiceClient.main(TestServiceClient.java:46)
Exception in thread "main"
I tried to map a simple type:
<types>
<schema targetNamespace='java:biomaterials'
xmlns='http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema'>
<element name="Monster">
<complexType>
<all>
<element name="name"
type="string"/>
<element name="age"
type="int"/>
</all>
</complexType>
</element>
</schema>
</types>
To the following java bean:
package biomaterials;
public class
ster{
private String name;
private Integer age;
public Monster(String name, int age) {
this.name=name;
this.age=new Integer(age);
public String getName() {
return name;
public void setName(String s) {
this.name=s;
public Integer getAge() {
return age;
public void setAge(int n) {
this.age=new Integer(n);
Here is my client code:
package serviceClient;
import java.util.Properties;
import weblogic.soap.codec.CodecFactory;
import weblogic.soap.codec.SoapEncodingCodec;
import weblog
ic.soap.codec.LiteralCodec;
import weblogic.soap.WebServiceProxy;

import weblogic.soap.SoapType;
import javax.naming.Context;
import javax.naming.InitialContext;
import javax.ejb.*;
import biomaterials.ServiceSession;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;
import biomaterials.Monster;
public class TestServiceClient
public static void main( String[] arg ) throws Exception
Properties h = new Properties();
h.put(Context.INITIAL_CONTEXT_FACTORY,
"weblogic.soap.http.SoapInitialContextFactory");
h.put("weblogic.soap.wsdl.interface",
ServiceSession.class.getName() );
Context context = new InitialContext(h);
ServiceSession serv =
(ServiceSession)context.lookup("http://localhost:7001/biocat/biomaterials.Se
rviceSession/biomaterials.ServiceSession.wsdl");
//try
//int result = serv.getTheNum();
//String result=serv.getBIXBiologicals();
//int result=serv.setBIXInfo("TARNUMBER");
Monster result=serv.getMonster();
System.out.print("The value is "+result);
} /* end of main */
} /* end of class */
Here is the method in my stateless session bean:
public Monster getMonster()
return new Monster("Sully",3);
And here is my whole wsdl file:
<% response.setHeader( "Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8" ); %>

I am using weblogic 6.1 SP1 on WIN NT.
Please help me out in this issue.
Thanks in advance.

HI !
i dont think that the servicepack is an issue in this case.
anyway i ahve tried it on 6.1SP4 and still getting similar results.
any pointers will be highly appreciated.

I just skimmed through your email. You said you
are using WLS 6.1 SP1. Can you try this using
the latest SP. There are many bug fixes done
after SP1.
Web service support in 6.1 is very limited. But, It
looks like 6.1 can handle the case you are trying out.
