WebObjects 5.4 Webservices and arrays deserializer

Hi all,


We experience a major problem porting our WebObjects application from OSX
10.4.x(WebObjects 5.3) to OSX 10.5.x(WebObjects 5.4.1)

Our application makes extensive use of the WebService generation tool in
WebObjects (WOWebServiceRegistrar.registerWebService)

When making a webservice with an array of Strings (or other types), the
automatically generated WSDL file is not valid (since WO 5.4): the
declaration of array elements is not included in the wsdl file.

This problem is also described in
http://lists.apple.com/archives/Webobjects-dev/2007/Dec/msg00003.html

We submitted a technical support incident to Apple, they acknowledged this
as a bug in WO 5.4(.1) but get no answer on when or wether they will solve
the bug.

Would you have any idea if Apple is taking any steps to solve this bug?
Or would you have more information on when the bug would be solved?

Apple provides its new Xserve machines with OSX 10.5 and WO 5.4 without the
possibility to install 10.4, so we are stuck here with selling and
installing applications on the mac platform, that is why it is so urgent for
us.


Pierre,

I saw your comments on this WO bug -> "WO 5.4 uses Axis 1.4. There is a bug
in the wsdl generation that is fixed with the next update. The current
"automatic" wsdl generation is missing type information for all custom types
including foundation ones."

Have you got any information when this bug will be solved?


Kind regards,


Kristof Cossement
