SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element ... Please HELP!!!!

Question

Good Morning Everyone,
I want to thank you for reading my problem and see if you can help me. The deadline for this project is monday and I am struggling to make it work. I am using axis 1.4 .
I created the web method
public void GetFilters( javax.xml.rpc.holders.BooleanHolder GetFiltersResult, CCRFiltersHolder CCRFilters,
javax.xml.rpc.holders.StringHolder Message, javax.xml.rpc.holders.StringHolder XMLData ){
First, I needed to create the CCRFilters as a CCRFiltersHolder because is an IN/OUT parameter.
public class CCRFiltersHolder implements javax.xml.rpc.holders.Holder{
public CCRFiltersList value;
public CCRFiltersHolder() {
public CCRFiltersHolder(CCRFiltersList value) {
this.value = value;
public class CCRFiltersList implements Serializable{
private CCRFilters[] filterList;
public CCRFilters[] getFilterList() {
return filterList;
public void setFilterList(CCRFilters[] filterList) {
this.filterList = filterList;
public CCRFilters getFilterList(int index) {
return filterList[index];
public void setFilterList(int index, CCRFilters filterList) {
this.filterList[index] = filterList;
public class CCRFilters implements Serializable {
private String FieldName;
private String RelationShip;
public String getFieldName() {
return FieldName;
public void setFieldName(String pFieldName) {
FieldName = pFieldName;
public String getRelationShip() {
return RelationShip;
public void setRelationShip(String pRelationShip) {
RelationShip = pRelationShip;
My wsdd file looks like:

deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.ArrayDeserializerFactory"
encodingStyle=""
/>
</service>
Even in my test program, I added the following code :
Call call = (Call) service.createCall();
QName qn = new QName( "http://www.gemsgov.com/CCR/GetFilters", "CCRFiltersHolder" );
call.registerTypeMapping("com.harris.mercury.cashiering.gemsintegration.holder.CCRFiltersHolder".getClass(), qn,
BeanSerializerFactory.class, BeanDeserializerFactory.class);
QName qn4 = new QName( "http://www.gemsgov.com/CCR/GetFilters", "CCRFiltersList" );
call.registerTypeMapping(CCRFiltersList.class, qn4,BeanSerializerFactory.class, BeanDeserializerFactory.class);
QName qn1 = new QName( "http://www.gemsgov.com/CCR/GetFilters", "CCRFilters" );
call.registerTypeMapping(CCRFilters.class, qn1, BeanSerializerFactory.class, BeanDeserializerFactory.class);
QName qn3 = new QName( "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding", "CCRFiltersArray" );
call.registerTypeMapping(CCRFilters[].class, qn3, new ArraySerializerFactory(), new ArrayDeserializerFactory());
But when running, everytime I get the following message : SimpleDeserializer encountered a child element, which is NOT expected, in something it was trying to deserialize.
Please any help whould be appreciate it.
Thanks a lot,
Martha

Answer 1

Hi,
Regarding to the query which I have posted may have following possibility.
This error may be due to the arguments which it gives as the output, as some of those arguments are the object of some other class.
As the web service which I am trying to access is developed in .Net and requires three parameters, out of which one parameter named as "name" is input parameter while the other two are the output parameters, which web service provide as output. And may be the output which it provides may also be developed in .Net only and thats why while passing the input variable, it is not able to convert its output variable into the String.
Please provide your valuable comments and solution to that.
Thanks
