I am highlighting one scenario in which a web service’s method with a java.lang.Object as a parameter can’t be invoked.
I am using Netbeans 7.1 with Tomcat 7.
For creating, deploying and accessing the web service, I followed the steps given at : http://java.sun.com/developer/technicalArticles/J2SE/jax_ws_2/
The web service endpoint is as follows :
package com.metrows;
import javax.jws.WebService;
import javax.jws.WebMethod;
import javax.jws.WebParam;
/**
*
* @author 298790
*/
@WebService(serviceName = "NewWebService")
public class NewWebService {
/**
* This is a sample web service operation
*/
@WebMethod(operationName = "hello")
public String hello(@WebParam(name = "name") String txt) {
return "Hello " + txt + " !";
}
/**
* Web service operation
*/
@WebMethod(operationName = "sendObjParam")
public Object sendObjParam(@WebParam(name = "paramObj") Object paramObj) {
//TODO write your implementation code here:
System.out.println("In NewWebService.sendObjParam(...) "+paramObj);
return paramObj;
}
/**
* Web service operation
*/
@WebMethod(operationName = "passCustomParams")
@Oneway
public void passCustomParams(@WebParam(name = "tenant") Tenant tenant) {
System.out.println("In NewWebService.passCustomParams(...) : tenant = " + tenant);
System.out.println(": " + tenant.getMap());
}
}
The Tenant is as follows :
package com.valueobjects;
import java.util.HashMap;
/**
*
* @author 298790
*/
public class Tenant {
private String tenantId;
private String tenantName;
private HashMap map;
public String getTenantId() {
return tenantId;
}
public void setTenantId(String tenantId) {
this.tenantId = tenantId;
}
public String getTenantName() {
return tenantName;
}
public void setTenantName(String tenantName) {
this.tenantName = tenantName;
}
public HashMap getMap() {
return map;
}
public void setMap(HashMap map) {
this.map = map;
}
}
The client is as follows :
package metro_ws_client;
/**
*
* @author 298790
*/
public class Metro_WS_Client {
/**
* @param args the command line arguments
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here
System.out.println(hello("Aao Thakur !!!"));
Tenant tenant = new Tenant();
tenant.setTenantId("lnt");
tenant.setMap(new Tenant.Map());
passCustomParams(tenant);
Object o = new Object();
//String s = "Shot";
sendObjParam(o);
}
private static String hello(java.lang.String name) {
metro_ws_client.NewWebService_Service service = new metro_ws_client.NewWebService_Service();
metro_ws_client.NewWebService port = service.getNewWebServicePort();
return port.hello(name);
}
private static Object sendObjParam(java.lang.Object paramObj) {
com.metrows.NewWebService_Service service = new com.metrows.NewWebService_Service();
com.metrows.NewWebService port = service.getNewWebServicePort();
return port.sendObjParam(paramObj);
}
private static void passCustomParams(com.metrows.Tenant tenant) {
com.metrows.NewWebService_Service service = new com.metrows.NewWebService_Service();
com.metrows.NewWebService port = service.getNewWebServicePort();
port.passCustomParams(tenant);
}
}
During server start-up, I get the following exceptions(not the full stack trace as it is repetitive) :

Now the call to the web method ‘hello’ is successful but when invocation of ‘sendObjParam’ gives the following exception; also, not able to create a java.util.Map in the client and set it in the tenant object :
Hello Aao Thakur !!! !

Please guide me as to how I can pass standard java objects – concrete or interface, custom objects with non-primitive members to a Web service ?
