Problem calling a Java web service

[Fatbob]

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to call a Java web serivce from my C# desktop application.
I added a web reference using the WSDL file. When I call a method that
returns a String, everything works fine using the code below...

private void btnGetTemplates_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
owordWS.TestOWordWSBeanService ws = new
owordWS.TestOWordWSBeanService();

GetAllTemplates gt = new GetAllTemplates();

GetAllTemplatesResponse gtresp = ws.GetAllTemplates(gt);

MessageBox.Show(gtresp.@return);
}

However, when I call a method that returns a List, I don't have the
"Response" as in the above code.

Here is a screen shot when I add a reference to my web service...

But as you can see I don't have the "Response" available...

I'm wondering if this has something to do with the fact that the
GetListOfAllTemplates returns a List? Can C# call a Java web service
that returns a List?

Here is what the WSDL file looks like...

Any suggestions as to how I can call a method that returns a List?

I'm trying to call a Java web serivce from my C# desktop application.
I added a web reference using the WSDL file. When I call a method that
returns a String, everything works fine using the code below...

private void btnGetTemplates_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
owordWS.TestOWordWSBeanService ws = new
owordWS.TestOWordWSBeanService();

GetAllTemplates gt = new GetAllTemplates();

GetAllTemplatesResponse gtresp = ws.GetAllTemplates(gt);

MessageBox.Show(gtresp.@return);
}

However, when I call a method that returns a List, I don't have the
"Response" as in the above code.

Here is a screen shot when I add a reference to my web service...

I'm wondering if this has something to do with the fact that the
GetListOfAllTemplates returns a List? Can C# call a Java web service
that returns a List?

What type does the method in the generated stub return?

If it is a special defined response class or an array or a List<> then
all is fine.

Otherwise you have a problem.
