Serialization of a custom object

[anirudh.chandrakant]

Hi,
I have a collection of objects , the type of objects are known only
at runtime. These type of objects are not specified in the WSDL. I need
to override the default serialization which takes place (which converts
unknown types to string) to implement my own serialization. The crutial
thing here is that the type is not specified in WSDL. Can somebody
please help me.

Hello (e-mail address removed),
The type has to be specified in the wsdl unless its freeform xml. Could
you post your wsdl?

Thanks for the help, dilip. I wanted to know if there is any other
method other than specifying the type in the WSDL. Also, what exactly
do u mean by freeform XML?

Hello (e-mail address removed),
No your wsdl has to have the definitions. Freeform xml is when you allow
any xml to be sent as a request/response message. your parameters are XmlElement
and/or have XmlAnyElement attributes
