RE: classToQName mapping

Hi Stephan,

Thanks for your quick answer ... I just thought about this fix this morni=
ng,
and I think you are totally right ... I will make this change and maybe
submit the change on this list for integration in the code source !

Glad to hear that I'm the first one to try KSoap server functionalities .=
..
If you want I may publish more examples of server like the ones I'm
currently working on !

Simon

Subject: Re: Ksoap: classToQName mapping

Hi Simon,

The problem is the difference between the class representing the primitiv=
e
java=20
type "int" and the corresponding box(?) class Integer. The box class simp=
ly=20
encapsulates a primitive type in an object, making it storable in vectors
and=20
hashtables. KSoap always uses the boxing class. Probably your fix only wo=
rks

because the name matches the XML Schema type name by inclident.

I think this should better be fixed in the method lookup routine by addin=
g=20
"something" that converts the java Class instances for primitive types to
their=20
boxing class...

Something like

public Class getBoxClass(Class c) {
   if (c =3D=3D Integer.TYPE) return Integer.class;
   if (c =3D=3D Long.TYPE) return Long.class;
   //...
   return c;
}

-- called for all the parameter types of a method when a method is
registered.

I must admit that I did not expect anybody to actually use kSOAP on the
server=20
side. :) I mainly implemented the server stuff to be able to provide a
server=20
endpoint for participating in SOAP testing...

Best,
Stefan
