Understanding Data Binding 5-5
If your XML or Java data type is not listed in these tables, and it is not one of the built-in data types listed in
Section 5.2, Supported Built-In Data Types, then you
must create the user-defined data type artifacts manually.
5.3.1 Supported XML User-Defined Data Types
The following table lists the XML Schema data types supported by the jwsc and wsdlc
Ant tasks and their equivalent Java data type or mapping mechanism. For details and examples of the data types, see the JAX-RPC specification at
http:java.netprojectsjax-rpc .
Table 5–3 Supported User-Defined XML Schema Data Types
XML Schema Data Type Equivalent Java Data Type or Mapping
Mechanism xsd:complexType
with elements of both simple and complex types.
JavaBean xsd:complexType
with simple content. JavaBean
xsd:attribute in xsd:complexType
Property of a JavaBean Derivation of new simple types by restriction of
an existing simple type. Equivalent Java data type of simple type.
Facets used with restriction element. Facets not enforced during serialization
and deserialization. xsd:list
Array of the list data type. Array derived from soapenc:Array by
restriction using the wsdl:arrayType attribute.
Array of the Java equivalent of the arrayType
data type. Array derived from soapenc:Array by
restriction. Array of Java equivalent.
Derivation of a complex type from a simple type. JavaBean with a property called _value whose type is mapped from the simple
type according to the rules in this section. xsd:anyType
java.lang.Object xsd:any
javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement or
org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlObject xsd:any[]
javax.xml.soap.SOAPElement[] or
org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlObject[] xsd:union
Common parent type of union members. xsi:nil
and xsd:nillable attribute Java null value.
If the XML data type is built-in and usually maps to a Java primitive data type such as
int or short, then the XML data type is
actually mapped to the equivalent object wrapper type such as
java.lang.Integer or
java.lang.Short .
Derivation of complex types Mapped using Java inheritance.
Abstract types Abstract Java data type.

5.3.2 Supported Java User-Defined Data Types
The following table lists the Java user-defined data types supported by the jwsc and wsdlc
Ant tasks and their equivalent XML Schema data type.
Table 5–4 Supported User-Defined Java Data Types
Java Data Type Equivalent XML Schema Data Type
JavaBean whose properties are any supported data type.
xsd:complexType whose content
model is a xsd:sequence of elements corresponding to JavaBean properties.
Array and multidimensional array of any supported data type when used as a JavaBean
property An element in a xsd:complexType
with the maxOccurs attribute set to unbounded
. java.lang.Object
Note: The data type of the run-time object must
be a known type. xsd:anyType
Apache XMLBeans that are inherited from org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlObject
only
Note : The Web service that uses an Apache
XMLBeans data type as a return type or parameter must be defined as
document-literal-wrapped or
document-literal-bare .
See Apache XMLBeans at http:xmlbeans.apache.orgindex
.html .
java.util.Collection Literal Array
java.util.List Literal Array
java.util.ArrayList Literal Array
java.util.LinkedList Literal Array
java.util.Vector Literal Array
java.util.Stack Literal Array
java.util.Set Literal Array
java.util.TreeSet Literal Array
java.utils.SortedSet Literal Array
java.utils.HashSet Literal Array
Note: The following user-defined Java data type, used as a
parameter or return value of a WebLogic Web service in Version 8.1, is no longer supported: JAX-RPC-style enumeration class.
Additionally, generics are not supported when used as a parameter or return value. For example, the following Java method cannot be
exposed as a public operation:
public ArrayListString echoGenericArrayListString in { return in;
}
