I've been trying to get by this all day. I have a web server defined to return an Object of type Arrivalbooking. The Arrivalbooking class is generated using xjc from a predefined DTD. Whenever I execute the web service the method executes perfectly and returns a valid Arrivalbooking with data in it. However ,the result is always empty. Anyone have any ideas? Here's the basic source for the web service @WebService @SOAPBinding(style=SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT, parameterStyle=SOAPBinding.ParameterStyle.WRAPPED) @ServiceMode(value=Service.Mode.PAYLOAD) //(a)SOAPBinding(style=SOAPBinding.Style.RPC) public class RecordGridJSE implements RecordGrid { @WebMethod @WebResult(name="arrivalsboard", partName="arrivalsboard") @SOAPBinding(style=SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT, parameterStyle=SOAPBinding.ParameterStyle.WRAPPED) public Arrivalsboard getDefaultRecordGrid() throws RemoteException { return getRecordGrid(null, null, (SimpleDateFormat) null); } @WebMethod @WebResult(name="arrivalsboard", partName="arrivalsboard") @SOAPBinding(style=SOAPBinding.Style.DOCUMENT, parameterStyle=SOAPBinding.ParameterStyle.WRAPPED) public Arrivalsboard getRecordGrid(@WebParam(name="start") Date start, @WebParam(name="end") Date end, @WebParam(name="dateFormat") String dateFormat) throws RemoteException { Arrivalbooking arrivalbooking = new Arrivalbooking(); . . . return arrivalbooking; } } The source for Arrivalbooking, Event was also generated with xjc @XmlAccessorType(XmlAccessType.FIELD) @XmlType(name = "", propOrder = { "event" }) @XmlRootElement(name = "arrivalsboard") public class Arrivalsboard { protected List event; /** * Gets the value of the event property. * * * This accessor method returns a reference to the live list, * not a snapshot.
