JAX-RPC webservice serialization issue on WAS6.1 test environment

Question

I'm trying to pass Vector of complex objects as a result of a WS method. I'm following a JavaBeans scheme and all Collections are replaced by Vectors already, but I'm still getting a serialization exception WSWS3037E: Serialization cannot occur for [myclass] How can I test if serialization really fails or this is WAS issue?

Answer 1

For 6.1 it is recommended by IBM to use arrays instead of Vectors. Vectors are supported but their use is not recommended. Also, all of your classes in the Vector/array must implement Serializable.
