No serializer found for class error when I try to create a Web Service

Question

I create a web service and it works fine when the return is List like this:

@WebService
public class IndicatorWSImpl extends SpringBeanAutowiringSupport implements IndicatorWS {

@Autowired
private HomeIndicadoresReportService homeIndicadoresReportService;


@Override
public List<String> entidades() {

    homeIndicadoresReportService.buildValuesToGraph(resultMesAtual, selectedEntity, selectedBS, selectedTS,
            selectedFunctionality, filter, false);

    List<String> lista = new ArrayList<String>();

    for (EntityIndicatorVO entityIndicatorVO : resultMesAtual) {
        lista.add(entityIndicatorVO.getName());
    }


    return lista;
}

}

But when I change the return for the List they can not create this list on the return and come with this error:

This are the class with List return:

@WebService
public class IndicatorWSImpl extends SpringBeanAutowiringSupport implements IndicatorWS {

@Autowired
private HomeIndicadoresReportService homeIndicadoresReportService;

@Override
public List<EntityIndicatorVO> entidades() {

    homeIndicadoresReportService.buildValuesToGraph(resultMesAtual, selectedEntity, selectedBS, selectedTS,
            selectedFunctionality, filter, false);


    return resultMesAtual;
}

}

this is the VO class:

public class EntityIndicatorVO extends IndicatorVO implements Serializable {

private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;

private List<BSIndicatorVO> bsList;


public EntityIndicatorVO(Long id, String name) {
    super(id, name, 0d);
}

public EntityIndicatorVO() {
}

public void copy(EntityIndicatorVO entityInd) {
    super.copy(entityInd);
    setBsList(entityInd.getBsList());
}

public List<BSIndicatorVO> getBsList() {
    if (bsList == null) {
        bsList = new ArrayList<BSIndicatorVO>();
    }
    return bsList;
}

public void setBsList(List<BSIndicatorVO> bsList) {
    this.bsList = bsList;
}

}

Could you help me?

Did you configure a serializer in Axis? If not you need to configure it. Axis comes with BeanSerializer.

Configuring your bean mapping BeanSerializer
