Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

In case of a web service client , how will I register deserializers for
custom objects ( defined by the web services ) so that the client do not get deserialization erros for those custom object ??


The above question can be illustrated as : The "Hello World" examples at the address below uses a String to return back to the client.

http://java.sun.com/webservices/docs/1.0/tutorial/doc/JAXRPC3.html#63872

The above example is from web service tutorial.

Instead of String , if I want to return the following object ..

public class HelloResult
{
private mMessage = new String();

public HelloResult()
{

}

public setMessage(String aMessage)
{
mMessage = aMessage;
}

public String getMessage()
{
return mMessage;
}
}

How will my client change given the fact that Hello World services "sayHello" method returns "HelloResult" object ??

I am hopping that from the above example I will be able to get some answers for the following problem ...

a) If I want to access an existing web service which has its wsdl publisher , the client has to tun xrpcc.bat file with config.xml file pointing to the published wsdl. Therefore , the Custom Objects returned from the web services if any , needs to be registered externally by the client ( I do not know how !!). Alternately , the client can specify the serializer / de-serializer in the config.xml under "typeMappingRegistry" before running xrpcc.bat file ( I do not know how because I can not generate ant de-serializers at all instead xrpcc.bat file only generated serializers )


I will really appreciate if some one can give me some pointers since I am running out of resources to find the solution for the above issue.
