Message: [QUOTE="Talin, post: 4311711"] I'm unable to return a complex object from an XML Web Service. Whenever I do, the client which consumes my web service sees the "Subject" matter in it's debug output window. Any Web service method that I have which returns a pointer to a class object always fails on the client attempting to consume my web service. The method actually succeeds in my web service, but the client always gets an object return value that is full of garbage. When debugging the C++ client, the following message appears in the Visual Studio .NET C++ Output window: ATLSOAP: CSoapRootHandler::CheckEndElement -- invalid number of elements for parameter/field The only other interesting piece of information is that if I completely fill in one of the objects defined below, remove the second NULL object from the WSDL definition, rebuild the client with the new WSDL, everything returns fine. If either one of the two objects defined below is returned as NULL, I get the garbage return value problem. Why can't I have a return value that contains pointers to 2 (or more) other internal objects???? FYI: My return value that has the problem is defined as follows (WSDL) <s:complexType name="CwsDefinePlanResponse"> <s:sequence> <s:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="_success" type="s:boolean" /> <s:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="_CmdResponseType" type="s:int" /> <s:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="_CmdResponseCode" type="s:int" /> <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="_reasonForFailure" type="s:string" /> <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="_definedDCP" nillable="true" type="s0:CwsDefinedDCP" /> <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="_unauthorizedOperation" nillable="true" type="s0:CwsUnauthorizedOperation" /> </s:sequence> </s:complexType> <s:complexType name="CwsDefinedDCP"> <s:sequence> <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="_planId" type="s:string" /> <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="_timeDefined" type="s:string" /> <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="_definedBy" type="s:string" /> </s:sequence> </s:complexType> <s:complexType name="CwsUnauthorizedOperation"> <s:sequence> <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="_description" nillable="true" type="s:string" /> <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="_requiredPrivilege" nillable="true" type="s:string" /> </s:sequence> </s:complexType> [/QUOTE]
