Axis built-in data types

The following table describes the XML data types built into Axis, assigned Axis constants, and equivalent Java data types.

The prefix xsd represents the following XML namespace URI:

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema

The prefix SOAP-ENC represents the following XML namespace URI:

http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding

XML data type (prefix represents fully qualified namespace)	Axis constant for XML data type	Java data type
xsd:string	XSD_STRING	java.lang.String
xsd:boolean	XSD_BOOLEAN	boolean
xsd:double	XSD_DOUBLE	double
xsd:float	XSD_FLOAT	float
xsd:int	XSD_INT	int
xsd:integer	XSD_INTEGER	java.math.BigInteger
xsd:long	XSD_LONG	long
xsd:short	XSD_SHORT	short
xsd:byte	XSD_BYTE	byte
xsd:decimal	XSD_DECIMAL	java.math.BigDecimal
xsd:base64Binary	XSD_BASE64	byte[]
xsd:hexBinary	XSD_HEXBIN	byte[]
xsd:QName	XSD_QNAME	javax.xml.rpc.namespace.QName
xsd:dataTime	XSD_DATE	java.util.date
SOAP-ENC:base64	SOAP_BASE64	byte[]
SOAP-ENC:string	SOAP_STRING	java.lang.String
SOAP-ENC:boolean	SOAP_BOOLEAN	boolean
SOAP-ENC:double	SOAP_DOUBLE	double
SOAP-ENC:float	SOAP_FLOAT	float
SOAP-ENC:int	SOAP_INT	int
SOAP-ENC:long	SOAP_LONG	long
SOAP-ENC:short	SOAP_SHORT	short
SOAP-ENC:byte	SOAP_BYTE	byte
SOAP-ENC:integer	SOAP_INTEGER	java.math.BigInteger
SOAP-ENC:decimal	SOAP_DECIMAL	java.math.BigDecimal
SOAP-ENC:Array	SOAP_ARRAY	array of built-in data types
SOAP-ENC:Map	SOAP_MAP	java.util.HashMap
SOAP-ENC:Element	SOAP_ELEMENT	org.w3c.dom.Element
SOAP-ENC:Vector	SOAP_VECTOR	java.util.Vector

Note:   For a Web Services Tag Library invoke tag with a resulttype in the xsd namespace, you do not need to include the fully qualified xsd namespace URI in a resulttypenamespace attribute. Instead, you can use just the text after the colon, as in resulttype ="double".

When specifying a data type in a dynamic client, you can use the Axis constant, as in:

call.addParameter("testParam", XMLType.XSD_STRING, Call.PARAM_MODE_IN);

call.setReturnType( XMLType.XSD_STRING );
