Webservice object that contains Objects
Hi.
I have two simple classes, attatched at the bottom. (Theese are example classes.)
Class test holds two strings, and class sample holds one String and an Array og class test.
Now, when I try to use this in a webservice all I get is an: Internal Server Error (serialization error: java.lang.NullPointerExcep
Anyone how sees what I do wrong?
public class test {
private String a, b;
pulibc test(String a, String b) {
this.a = a;
this.b = b;
}
public String getA() { return this.a; }
public String getB() { return this.b; }
}
public class sample {
private String a;
private test[] b;
pulbic sample(String a) {
this.a = a;
}
public String getA() {
return this.a;
}
public test[] getTest() {
test t = new test("hello");
b[0] = t;
return b;
}
}

/**

public sample getsimple(java.lang.String
return new simpleTest(text);

public sample getsimple(java.lang.String

WHat is the simpleTest?

Sorry. the correct is:
/**
* Web service operation
*/
public sample getsimple(java.lang.String
return new sample(name, text);
}
/**
* Web service operation
*/
public sample getsimple(java.lang.String
return new sample(name, text);
}
Or maybe you need to Serialize the objects that you are passing through the wire. Try implement Serializable in your test and sample classes:
public class test implements Serializable...
public class sample implements Serializable...
public class test implements Serializable...
public class sample implements Serializable...

> return new sample(name, text);
This shouldn't compile as sample ctor only takes one argument (string a). Are you sure there is not another sample class somewhere else?

ALL of the objects transported through web services MUST be serializable (this includes ALL agregated objects and is tranzitive).
Yes they have to be serializable. To generate the proxies of the web-service, use WSDL2Java from Apache Axis and it'll make life easier. You just need to create objects of the stubs and call its methods like you do for regular objects and it will result in calls to the web-service.

ok, this is a code that compiles:
public class test implements Serializable {
private String a;
private String b;
public test() { }
public test(String a, String b) { this.a = a; this.b = b; }
public String getA() { return a; }
public void setA(String a) { this.a = a; }
public String getB() { return b; }
public void setB(String b) { this.b = b; }
}
public class sample implements Serializable{
private String a;
private test[] testing;
public sample() { }
public sample(String a) { this.a = a; }
public String getA() { return a; }
public void setA(String a) { this.a = a; }
public test[] getTesting() {
test t = new test(this.a, "hello");
testing[0] = t;
return this.testing;
}
public void setTesting(test[] testing) { this.testing = testing; }
}
/**
* Web service operation
*/
public sample getSample(java.lang.String
return new sample(a);
}
But still I get this error:

public class test implements Serializable {

public test(String a, String b) { this.a = a; this.b = b; }

public void setA(String a) { this.a = a; }
public String getB() { return b; }
public void setB(String b) { this.b = b; }
}
public class sample implements Serializable{
private String a;
private test[] testing;
public sample() { }
public sample(String a) { this.a = a; }
public String getA() { return a; }
public void setA(String a) { this.a = a; }
public test[] getTesting() {
test t = new test(this.a, "hello");
testing[0] = t;
return this.testing;
}
public void setTesting(test[] testing) { this.testing = testing; }
}
/**

public sample getSample(java.lang.String
return new sample(a);
}

Try with a very simple "sample" class and see if it works:
public class sample implements Serializable
{
private String a;
public sample(String a) { this.a = a; }
public String getA() { return a; }
public void setA(String a) { this.a = a; }
}
public class sample implements Serializable
{
private String a;
public sample(String a) { this.a = a; }
public String getA() { return a; }
public void setA(String a) { this.a = a; }
}
ASKER
Yes that works.
And this works
public class sample implements Serializable{
private String a;
private test[] testing;
public sample() { }
public sample(String a) { this.a = a; }
public String getA() { return a; }
public void setA(String a) { this.a = a; }
public test[] getTesting() {
test t = new test(this.a, "hello");
//testing[0] = t;
return this.testing;
}
public void setTesting(test[] testing) { this.testing = testing; }
}
And this works
public class sample implements Serializable{
private String a;
private test[] testing;
public sample() { }
public sample(String a) { this.a = a; }
public String getA() { return a; }
public void setA(String a) { this.a = a; }
public test[] getTesting() {
test t = new test(this.a, "hello");
//testing[0] = t;
return this.testing;
}
public void setTesting(test[] testing) { this.testing = testing; }
}
So it is
> testing[0] = t;
that's causing the problem. Try to use a Vector instead
public class sample implements Serializable{
private String a;
private Vector <test> testing;
public sample() { }
public sample(String a) { this.a = a; }
public String getA() { return a; }
public void setA(String a) { this.a = a; }
public test[] getTesting() {
test t = new test(this.a, "hello");
testing.addElement(test);
return this.testing;
}
public void setTesting(test[] testing) { this.testing = testing; }
}
> testing[0] = t;

Ok I see the problem now, you need to initialize your array :)
private test[] testing = new test[1];
private test[] testing = new test[1];

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
Note that you can only add a certain amount of element into an array, if you want dynamic expansion you will need to use a Collections object, like Vector or ArrayList
public class sample implements Serializable{
private String a;
private Vector <test> testing = new Vector<test>();
public sample() { }
public sample(String a) { this.a = a; }
public String getA() { return a; }
public void setA(String a) { this.a = a; }
public test[] getTesting() {
test t = new test(this.a, "hello");
testing.addElement(test);
return this.testing;
}
public void setTesting(test[] testing) { this.testing = testing; }
}
public class sample implements Serializable{
private String a;
private Vector <test> testing = new Vector<test>();
public sample() { }
public sample(String a) { this.a = a; }
public String getA() { return a; }
public void setA(String a) { this.a = a; }
public test[] getTesting() {
test t = new test(this.a, "hello");
testing.addElement(test);
return this.testing;
}
public void setTesting(test[] testing) { this.testing = testing; }
}

tnx.
but:
public test[] getTesting() {
test t = new test(this.a, "hello");
testing.addElement(test);
return this.testing;
}
don't compile.
I've done this and it seams to work:
public test[] getTestElement() {
test t = new test(this.a, "hello");
this.testing.addElement(t)
test[] a = new test[this.testing.size()];
for(int i = 0; i > this.testing.size(); i++) {
a[i] = this.testing.get(i);
}
return a;
}
Any quicker way using 1.5?

> don't compile.
Yes you are right, my mistake, you should return either the vector itself or an element. You could do:
public Vector getTesting() {
test t = new test(this.a, "hello");
testing.addElement(test);
return this.testing;
}
which will return the whole vector (with all the tests in there).

>> Any quicker way using 1.5?
Yes , and earlier versions :
public test[] getTesting() {
test t = new test(this.a, "hello");
testing.addElement(test);
return (test[])this.testing.toArr
}

public test[] getTesting() {

}
Of course the set method should change as well:
> public void setTesting(test[] testing) { this.testing = testing; }
public void setTesting(Vector<test> testing) { this.testing = testing; }
> public void setTesting(test[] testing) { this.testing = testing; }
public void setTesting(Vector<test> testing) { this.testing = testing; }
>> test t = new test(this.a, "hello");
Is test serializable?

It is

how are you trying to use it? Can you post the code you call it?
