[jboss-user] [JBossWS] - Collection in java -> wsdl for wstools

[guurk]

JSR-181 deploying a ejb3 stateless as a web service using JBossIDE.

JBoss 4.0.5.GA
JBossIDE 2.0.0 Beta 2
JDK 1.5.0_08

On a method:

  | @javax.jws.WebMethod()
  | public Collection<News> getNews() {
  | }
  | 

where News is an ejb3 entity bean (complex type):


  | @Entity
  | @Table( name = "news", uniqueConstraints = {})
  | public class News implements java.io.Serializable {
  | 	// Fields    
  | 	private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
  | 	private Long id;
  | 	private String title;
  | 	private String description;
  | 	private String body;
  | 	private String author;
  | 	private Set< RssItem> rssItems = new HashSet< RssItem>( 0);
  | ...
  | ...
  | ...
  | 

The WSDL generated does not contain a sequence with the complex type defined:


  |   <complexType name="Collection">
  |   <sequence>
  |   <element name="empty" type="boolean" /> 
  |   </sequence>
  |   </complexType>
  |   <complexType name="News">
  |   <sequence>
  |   <element name="author" nillable="true" type="string" /> 
  |   <element name="body" nillable="true" type="string" /> 
  |   <element name="description" nillable="true" type="string" /> 
  |   <element name="id" nillable="true" type="long" /> 
  |   <element name="title" nillable="true" type="string" /> 
  |   </sequence>
  |   </complexType>
  |   </schema>
  | 
  |   <message name="ResonusBE_getNewsResponse">
  |   <part name="result" type="tns:Collection" /> 
  |   </message>
  | 
  | <message name="ResonusBE_getNews" /> 
  | 
  |  <operation name="getNews">
  |   <input message="tns:ResonusBE_getNews" /> 
  |   <output message="tns:ResonusBE_getNewsResponse" /> 
  |   </operation>
  | 
  | 

Notice that the collection specified for Collection is collection with a boolen... not even close to the right type.

The News complex type only shows up in the WSDL if I explicitly have another method that returns News. It won't show up if it's just with in the Collection generics.

For testing purposes I tried out the XFire java->wsdl libraries... it does a nice job:


  |  <xsd:complexType name="ArrayOfNews">
  |   <xsd:sequence>
  |   <xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="News" nillable="true" type="tns:News" /> 
  |   </xsd:sequence>
  |   </xsd:complexType>
  |   <xsd:complexType name="News">
  |   <xsd:sequence>
  |   <xsd:element minOccurs="0" name="author" nillable="true" type="xsd:string" /> 
  |   <xsd:element minOccurs="0" name="body" nillable="true" type="xsd:string" /> 
  |   <xsd:element minOccurs="0" name="description" nillable="true" type="xsd:string" /> 
  |   <xsd:element minOccurs="0" name="id" nillable="true" type="xsd:long" /> 
  |   <xsd:element minOccurs="0" name="title" nillable="true" type="xsd:string" /> 
  |   </xsd:sequence>
  |   </xsd:complexType>
  | 

Thoughts? Am I missing something?
