Hi Chad,

I'm progressing in terms of type issues.
I had bunch of other things until this week so it was progressing slow.
I'm giving my full effort to it since 2-days.

To make that type available from java, that type obect needs to be
implemented.
Than the only thing I need to do is to set the return(output) type to that
type object.
I tried a bunch of different type returns yesterday in this way.
If you can output that type, you've probably already implemented it and have
it in the jar as a class.
Do you have a toString() method in your type object?
This is just in case we want to print out what the web service return. :)
Let's talk on irc today and try it.

I haven't generically implemented it yet, but I'm almost there.
I have a problem with web services with multiple output message parts.
Anyways, let's first try it today.

Ilkay

Hi Ilkay,

I was just wondering how your progress is going on getting the web
service actor to return objects (besides strings).  I now have a bunch
of web services that make calls to GRASS that I would like to use in
kepler.  All of these services return the same object
(GrassReturnObject).  If you want or need some help getting that actor
to work, I'd be glad to help.
