[jboss-user] [JBossWS] - Using entities with collections?

[sbalmos]

Hi all,

In 1.0.2, the WSDL generator now ignores datatypes that are collections. This was easy enough to fix with my wrapper SOAP interface. However, the complex datatypes that I return from my functions are entity beans, which themselves have member collections. I cannot replace these collections with arrays, since the EJB3 Persistence system needs collections to determine relationship mappings. And I can't create overridden getter methods in the entities that return arrays.

So, what am I supposed to do? On one hand, I must use collections in the entities for the persistence framework. Yet on the other hand, I can't for the SOAP framework. Am I supposed to create new wrapper entity datatypes for SOAP, which only use arrays? What about Map-type collections, where a flat array wouldn't really work?

Ideas are appreciated.
