Hi,

When I have a class that has an object variabel where other types is in. When I send a web-request to the server and gets the variable, it works fine when the data is set to known-types. The problem is when I want to use the data in the object returned. I can not typecast it and gets an error when trying to getType() of the object.

How can I make it it's own type of the content? I know the type because of other variables in the class so I just have to make it of this type but how? I have thought about making a xml-parser of these object to the given class; but do not know if this is possible at all and nessesary at all?

Make sure the object you are trying to return is declared in the web service. Web services will "convert" custom objects to be xml-serializable which is why you're getting the typecast error. If you use the "converted" object instead your problem should be resolved.

I have found the error. It had nothing to do with the service.. It was the client object that was causing the problem.

But thanks for the reply, I've marked it as an answer. :)
