Consume a .net web service with a java client

[pauldj54]

Hi,

I have to pass 3 xml file to a web service in .Net from a java client.

I wrote a webmethod in c# within the web service that recieved 3 XmlDocument as the arguments.

I'm using eclipse and the axis pluggin to build the client in java

The axis generate the webmethods and other classses using the WSDL

I wrote a webmethod to sum 2 integers without problems because only simple types are involved but my BIG PROBLEM is, How to use other types?

if I instantiate a proxy class to call the ws methods and use a java "Document" instances as arguments I recieved an error (MessageElement[] are expected )

Any help will be apreciated

What does the WSDL for the service look like?
Did you write the C# code and then generate a WSDL from that?

Yes, that's it, I wrote the web service using c# and published it with visual studio 2008, and I'm making the client in java with eclipse

Somebody told me to use jax-ws instead of axis 1

I'm trying to convert the .xml docs into Strings and viceversa

Any suggestions will be appreciate

cheers

This is part of the problem with writing the code first, rather than writing the WSDL. You don't always get what you expect. Now, though I can't see the WSDL here, I'm fairly certain that what was generated will not be something compatible with a Document class in java, after all it was generated using whatever equivalent class it is in C#.

If you simply want to transmit them as strings then you ought to define the WSDL methods in terms of strings (though that might be overly simplistic). You could also use attachments, but I've not needed to do that as yet so couldn't really advise you on that.
