i have a java webservice running, i am trying to send a customer object from a client to the webservice, but when the webservice receives the Customer object, all the data within the object (name, surname, address etc.) is null

Also i have tried debugging it to see if the Customer object is really filled from the client side, and it is the weird thing is, when receiving Customer array filled with Customer objects from the web service, it goes without any problem
what might be the problem when sending a Customer object to the webservice, that the webservice only receives null values ?

You are doing something wrong and/or the webservice/rpc implementation is broken
how can it be broken, could you please explain ?
consider swapping axis for xfire.. it's easier to manage when you got little or no clues what you are doing
i am using axis

axis is very broken on many accounts
xfire is less broken and easier to use
so you mean, this might be an issue with axis

isn't it weird than that i am able to receive an array of objects but not able to send just 1 object, or are these two things totally different from one another ?

More of an issue with you using axis.. it's non-tribial to set up and debug
i c
trivial, even
just saying xfire is easier to get going
thanks for the info
