im stuck in this terrible problem, I have a SOAP based webservice implemented in Java.The client besides other data is supposed to have "male" and "female" checkboxes so the user can either select one of them or both and the client is supposed to send it to the server to be stored in the database, where it is a multivalued entity, but it gives me Error 500, the failure on Server side, is the way i pass the array and then use it on server side correct? if not how could i pass and process it? here is the code for Client, Thanks in advance for your time:

private void salvaActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                      
    // TODO add your handling code here:
    disease=malattia.getText();


    sexarra=new String[sexint];
    if(sexint==1)
        sexarra[0]=sexone;
    else if(sexint==0)
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Bisogna specificare almeno un valore del campo sesso", "Errore", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
    else{
        sexarra[0]=sexone;
        sexarra[1]=sextwo;}
        // System.out.print(sexarra[0]);
        //     System.out.println(sexarra[1]);



        description=descrizione.getText();


        agestr=eta.getText();
        if(agestr.equalsIgnoreCase(""))
            JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Il campo età non può essere vuoto", "Errore", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);

Here is the Server Code:

    String errore = connetti();
    //inserimeto dei dati del utente dentro la tabella login
    if(sexarra.length == 2){
        q = "INSERT INTO malattia (nome, eta, descrizione, sesso) "
            + "VALUES ('" + malattia + "','" + eta + "','" + descrizione + "','" + sexarra[0] + "')";}
    else{
        q = "INSERT INTO malattia (nome, eta, descrizione, sesso) "
            + "VALUES ('" + malattia + "','" + eta + "','" + descrizione + "','" + sexarra[0] + "')";
        w="INSERT INTO malattia (nome, eta, descrizione, sesso) "
            + "VALUES ('" + malattia + "','" + eta + "','" + descrizione + "','" + sexarra[1] + "')";
    }

    if (errore.equals("")) {
        try {
            Statement st = conn.createStatement();
            if(sexarra.lenght == 2){
                st.executeUpdate(q);
                st.executeUpdate(w);
            }
            else
                st.executeUpdate(q);
            st.close();
            conn.close();
            ris = "si";
        } catch (SQLException e) {
            System.out.println("Errore: " + e.getMessage());
            return ris;
        }
    }   
    return ris;
}

I get the following error:

I'm not sure if it is just an issue with my browser but you're code is almost un-readable. One question I do have is why would someone be able to select both male and female? Another question is how did you generate your WSDL? I'm assuming you wrote the service for the server and then generated a WSDL off of that service. What is the value specified in the WSDL?
