Java Classes for Objects
You can further describe the contents of an Object or Object list variable by applying a Java class to the variable. When you apply a supported Java class to an Object or Object list variable, Designer changes the icon for the variable. Applying Java classes to Objects and Object lists can provide the following benefits:
*Other developers can easily see the types your service expects as inputs and produces as output.
*Other developers can easily see the types contained in an IS document type.
*You can input values for the variable when running and debugging.
*You can assign values to variables in the pipeline using on the Pipeline view toolbar.
Note:
When you input values for a constrained Object during debugging or when assigning a value in the pipeline, Designer validates the data to make sure it is of the correct type.
The following table identifies the Java classes you can apply to Objects and Object list variables in Designer.

XOPObject
A field in a SOAP message that is to be sent/received as a streamed MTOM attachment.
Note:Integration Server only supports this Java wrapper type for web services.
com.wm.util.XOPObject
Note:
Any Object or Object list placed into the service pipeline must be a serializable data type. If it cannot be serialized, the pipeline cannot be exchanged with a remote Integration Server. Further, the class names for the data type must be included in the Integration Server whitelist classes file or a package whitelist classes file for the pipeline to be deserialized at the destination Integration Server. Classes defined by Integration Server are already included in the whitelist class file. This requirement applies to all Object and Object list variables, including those contained in a Document or Document list. For more information about the whitelist classes file, see the webMethods Integration Server Administrator’s Guide.
