JAX- RPC : Getting error "org.xml.sax.SAXException: WSWS3047E: Error: Cannot deserialize element"

Question

On trying to modify an existing wsdl and changing the Request Type and Response Type of an operation I am getting the below.

The process I followed is : 1. Modify the xsd 2. Generate Java Bean Skeleton (Can not change it as it is referred in multiple places)

Fixes tried : 1. Referred to multiple articles and have changed the WSDL to be elementFormDefault="unqualified" and to regenerate the supporting files. 2. I have tried to set xmlns="" to disable namespace for the field.

WSDL (Pasting just the modified operation, the original wswdl has around 52 operations)

Answer 1

@BK Elizabeth - thank you for your response. As per the current implementation it is the wsdl that is used to generate the java beans using top down approach instead of bottom up approach you referred to in your comment (no doubt that is a better approach).

The real problem was that the generated beans are added at the container level as a shared lib since objects of the beans are passed between multiple modules. So even though I was updating the beans at module level but actually a previous version of the service beans were loaded. On updating the shared lib my changes started reflecting and the error "WSWS3047E: Error: Cannot deserialize element" got resolved".
