I just had the joy of spending a day trying to get my .NET Web Service to interact with a WebSphere client. Regardless of the changes made, the following error was received on the Java side.
Unable to retrieve PropertyDescriptor for property Xxx
All of the property names matched up. All of the properties in the Java class had getters and setters. The ultimate solution? Change the case of the property names. The problem only occurred if the property name started with a capital letter. If changed to a camel case format, the problem goes away. Apparently, this is a problem with the standard BeanSerializer in older versions of WebSphere (version 5.0 and earlier). According to the notes that I found, it has been corrected at 5.1 and in a patch to 5.0. Can't vouch for this, as we just swallowed hard and changed the case of our exposed properties. I hate case sensitivity.
