Re: .Net Dataset java Serializer

DataSets (especially typed) offer alot of power.
Sorry, I do not know of any Java DataSet implementations.

Agreed that the Web Service Provider should offer an overloaded
WebMethod(s),
that return / accept generic XmlDocuments.
Easily accomplished with XmlDataDocument on WebService side.

Even in full .NET world, CF .NET does not support typed DataSets,
so a proxy cannot be auto generated with VS .NET.
[Actually, it it generated, it just wont build]
Work-around is to modify the WSDL manually and then gen,
or modify the auto gen'd code to be generic.
Would work for the java client world as well,
when you dont have access to the server implementation.
Maybe the Java client proxy generators already handle this,
and he just wants the DataSet relational model,
as opposed to hierarchical XML?

Dare I ask why the web service was build to return a .NET DataSet int he
first place?  Do you have any influence over the service design?  If so
you may want to replace the DataSet with a more generic XML oriented
return type.
