calling Java WS method returning array

[Mrozik]

after parsing WSDL definition of java
WebService, C# proxy class contains data strutures
(I'm using RPC\encoded):

[System.Xml.Serialization.SoapTypeAttribute("DateString", "http:/
/xxx.com.pl")]
public class DateString {

/// <remarks/>
public string value;
}

/// <remarks/>
[System.Xml.Serialization.SoapTypeAttribute("DeactivationInfo",
"http://xxx.com.pl"))]
public class DeactivationInfo {

/// <remarks/>
public DateString deactivationDate;

/// <remarks/>
public DateString insertDate;

/// <remarks/>
public string msisdn;
}

/// <remarks/>

[System.Xml.Serialization.SoapTypeAttribute("DeactivationInfoArray",
"http://xxx.com.pl"))]
public class DeactivationInfoArray
{

/// <remarks/>
public DeactivationInfo[] deactivations;

/// <remarks/>
public int nextID;

/// <remarks/>
public bool partial;
}


/// <remarks/>

[System.Xml.Serialization.SoapTypeAttribute("DeactivationInfoArrayResponse",
"http://xxx.com.pl"))]
public class DeactivationInfoArrayResponse : Response {

/// <remarks/>
public DeactivationInfoArray array;
}


I try to call method returning DeactivationInfoArrayResponse
object:

DeactivationInfoArrayResponse deactInfoArrayRet =
_ws.getDeactivations(
_dsFrom,
_dsTo,
maxNumber);

deactInfoArrayRet contains proper:
- deactInfoArrayRet.retCode (coming from inherited
Response class)
- deactInfoArrayRet.array


deactInfoArrayRet.array (DeactivationInfoArray type) contains:
- valid deactInfoArrayRet.array.nextID property value
- valid deactInfoArrayRet.array.partial property value

but

deactInfoArrayRet.array.deactivations array
(DeactivationInfoArrayResponse.DeactivationInfoArray.DeactivationInfo[])
is always null....
why? when i trace SOAP message, values are properly returned from WS
but are not avilable in .NET code....

rpc/encoded have lot of drawback and is not recommended for WSI compliance
(see
http://www.fawcette.com/xmlmag/2002_10/online/webservices_rjennings_10_21_02/).
Try using document/literal.

I hope it could help.
