Axis 1.X WSDD Reference: typeMapping

Can be used in

Description

A typemapping maps a qualified XML name to a Java type. Global typemappings visible to all services can be deployed in a deployment element, or the visibility can be confined to a service if the typeMapping element is inside a service element. There are additional differences aside from visibility. For example, if a global typemapping is deployed a second time, the old mapping will remain and the new configuration will not be used. The effects may be hard to debug.

If a BeanSerializer and BeanDeSerializer are used in a typemapping, then the namespace for the corresponding XML schema type in a generated WSDL document differs depending on the location of the typemapping element. A mapping inside a service uses the service's namespace. A global mapping always derives a namespace from the Java package of the Java type.

<deployment xmlns="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/"
            xmlns:java="http://xml.apache.org/axis/wsdd/providers/java">
    <typeMapping xmlns:ns="http://soapinterop.org/xsd"
                 qname="ns:ArrayOfString"
                 type="java:java.lang.String[]"
                 serializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.ArraySerializerFactory"
                 deserializer="org.apache.axis.encoding.ser.ArrayDeserializerFactory"
                 encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
    />

    <service>
    ...
    </service>

</deployment>

If the BeanSerializer and BeanDeSerializer are used in a typemapping the abbreviated form beanMapping can be used instead.
