DynamicClient fails to send an array of String ----------------------------------------------
Key: CXF-3501 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CXF-3501 Project: CXF Issue Type: Bug Affects Versions: 2.4 Environment: JaxWsDynamicClientFactory and Tomcat 6. Reporter: Martin Thurau I ran into some trouble using {{JaxWsDynamicClientFactory}} to access a SOAP service which signature is unknown a compile time and is passed to my code, from an external part at runtime. Following is a minimal example to reproduce the problem. The service defines the following operation: @WebMethod(operationName="init") public void initValueNotNull( @WebParam(name="values")String[] values); I generate a SOAP service and a corresponding WSDL from this by using {{org.apache.cxf.tools.java2ws.JavaToWS}}. Then I generate a WAR file and deploy this to tomcat. Now I want to use {{JaxWsDynamicClientFactory}} to access this service: {{JaxWsDynamicClientFactory dcf = JaxWsDynamicClientFactory.newInstance();}} {{Client client = dcf.createClient(new URL("http://localhost:8080/dserv/ArrayService?wsdl"));}} {{String[] values = new String[] { "foobar", "something" };}} {{client.invoke("init", values);}} In the implementation of the service I have the following code: @Override public void initValueNotNull(String[] values) { System.out.println("Got values: " + Arrays.asList(values)); } I would expect, that the two strings from the client get ouputted. Instead I simple see {{Got values: []}}. If I look at the SOAP-message that get exchanged, I see the this: <soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <soap:Body> <ns1:init xmlns:ns1="de.fhl.dserv.ws"> <values xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xsi:type="xs:string">foobar</values> </ns1:init> </soap:Body> </soap:Envelope> So somewhere and somehow the array of strings get transformed in a single string (which happens to be the first element of the original array). -- I have created a demo project and uploaded it to http://dl.dropbox.com/u/338429/CXF_Bug.zip Included is a ant file to compile and build the service using {{ant build}} and execute the client using {{ant client}} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
