C# generated proxy method different than original Java service method

[adrya1984]

Hi,

I have a Java service that has the following method signature:

       @WebMethod(operationName = "getContactList")
        public MyListClass getContactList(@WebParam(name = "myList") MyListClass myList) throws IllegalArgumentException {
                return myList;
        }

public class MyListClass implements Serializable{
List<ContactOD> innerList;

    public List<ContactOD> getInnerList() {
        if(innerList == null){
            innerList = new ArrayList<ContactOD>();
        }
        return innerList;
    }

    public void setInnerList(List<ContactOD> innerList) {
        this.innerList = innerList;
    }

}

When i generate the proxy in C# for this Java service, i get the method signature like this:

   public ContactOD[]  getContactList(ContactOD[] myList)

I see nowhere in my generated proxy MyListClass that wraps this List<ContactOD> .

What do i need to do to the java web service or to the C# generation of proxy so i can see in the proxy class the method like this:

public MyListClass getContactList(MyListClass myList)

Thank you so much, Adriana

I have had this problem before tough that was a C# web service being accessed by a Java mobile phone. The end conclusion we came to was that the definition in the WSDL file was interpreted as an array as not all languages support a generic collection such as a list.

<xs:element name="ContactList" type="ContactOD" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>

is therefor interpreted as an array by the code generator. What we did was perform a rather crude hack, and built a little array to string converter function.
