Problem serializing complex data using WCF
- by Gustavo Paulillo
Scenario: WCF client app, calling a web-service (JAVA) operation, wich requires a complex object as parameter. Already got the metadata.
Problem: The operation has some required fields. One of them is a enum. In the SOAP sent, isnt the field above (generated metadata) - Im using WCF diagnostics and Windows Service Trace Viewer:
[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.Xml", "2.0.50727.3082")]
[System.SerializableAttribute()]
[System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()]
[System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategoryAttribute("code")]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(TypeName="Consult-Filter", Namespace="http://webserviceX.org/")]
public partial class ConsFilter : object, System.ComponentModel.INotifyPropertyChanged {
private PersonType customerTypeField;
Property:
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute("customer-type", Form=System.Xml.Schema.XmlSchemaForm.Unqualified, Order=1)]
public PersonType customerType {
get {
return this.customerTypeField;
}
set {
this.customerTypeField = value;
this.RaisePropertyChanged("customerType");
}
}
The enum:
[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.Xml", "2.0.50727.3082")]
[System.SerializableAttribute()]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(TypeName="Person-Type", Namespace="http://webserviceX.org/")]
public enum PersonType {
/// <remarks/>
F,
/// <remarks/>
J,
}
The trace log:
