I've got a class
public class Calculator {
public Test getTest(){
return new Test();
}
}
That I want to expose as Web Service. The Test definition is:
public class Test {
private Test2[] tests;
@XmlTransient
public Test2[] getTests() {
return tests;
}
public void setTests(Test2[] tests) {
this.tests = tests;
}
}
Now, adding @XmlTransient annotation at Test2[] tests, I'm expecting it to not to be listed in the generated WSDL (I'm using Eclipse, so right click on Calculator > Web Services > Generate Web Service), but I'm not right:
...
<wsdl:types>
<xs:schema attributeFormDefault="qualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="...">
<xs:complexType name="Test">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="tests" nillable="true" type="ax21:Test2"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
<xs:complexType name="Test2">
<xs:sequence/>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:schema>
...
</wsdl:types>
...
As you can see, tests is still present in the WSDL (5th row). If useful, I'm using Axis2, Eclipse Indigo.
This is still a problem, but I found a workaround. I added to my services.xml:
<parameter name="beanPropertyRules">
<bean class="package.Test" excludeProperties="tests" />
</parameter>
That is:
<bean class="package.Object" excludeProperties="propertyToExcludeFromWSDL" />
This worked.
