Array Serialization: thanks for the help...
I believe that is incredible that nobody in this mailing list has never used
a soap vector.......

so, does the IBM web service toolkit support this?
I tried in vain to generate classes for arrays like
<xsd:complexType name="MovieList">
<xsd:element name="item"
type="tns:Movie"
minOccurs="0"
maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
</xsd:complexType>
All I get is
public class MovieList{
public Movie item_Elem;
...
}
there must be a way to use something as simple as arrays
with the IBM Web Services Toolkit, no?
thanks &
greetings,
Christian

James,
I know. It is quite strange that Arrays have been introduced in SOAP while XSD
can do about the same.
In SOAP, you can define a multi-dimensional array, or even sparse arrays,
something difficult in XSD.
But... I agree with you, I think that arrays don't make sense when you have
something like XSD.
Arrays are easier to manipulate than Schemas though...

Dino,
The array is not an XSD type (see www.w3c.org). SOAP defines a new type in the
soapenc namespace:
Array
The Array Serializer in Apache SOAP follows the w3c specification (see
www.w3c.org):
<SOAP-ENC:Array SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:int[2]">
<item>3</item>
<item>4</item>
</SOAP-ENC:Array>
Note that each element in the array is named : "item". This is not required. You
will see other example with the type. Usually, you can (and should) "guess" the
type reading the arrayType attribute.
SOAP Apache allows to have any type in the array since it is calling the
marshaller of the passed object.
If you would like to include an array in your XSD schema (to be included in a
WSDL file for instance),
you need to write something like:
<xsd:complexType name="ArrayOfInt">
<xsd:complexContent>
<xsd:restriction base="soapenc:Array">
<attribute ref="soapenc:arrayType" wsdl:arrayType="xsd:int[]" />
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:complexContent>
</xsd:complexType>
The syntax is not obvious, but should work (if you add to the IBM WSTK toolkit
of course).
Hope that it confuses you more than before.... ;-)

Re: Array Serialization: thanks for the help...

Dino,
The array is not an XSD type (see www.w3c.org). SOAP defines a new type in the
soapenc namespace:
Array
The Array Serializer in Apache SOAP follows the w3c specification (see
www.w3c.org):
<SOAP-ENC:Array SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:int[2]">
<item>3</item>
<item>4</item>
</SOAP-ENC:Array>
Note that each element in the array is named : "item". This is not required. You
will see other example with the type. Usually, you can (and should) "guess" the
type reading the arrayType attribute.
SOAP Apache allows to have any type in the array since it is calling the
marshaller of the passed object.
If you would like to include an array in your XSD schema (to be included in a
WSDL file for instance),
you need to write something like:
<xsd:complexType name="ArrayOfInt">
<xsd:complexContent>
<xsd:restriction base="soapenc:Array">
<attribute ref="soapenc:arrayType" wsdl:arrayType="xsd:int[]" />
</xsd:restriction>
</xsd:complexContent>
</xsd:complexType>
The syntax is not obvious, but should work (if you add to the IBM WSTK toolkit
of course).
Hope that it confuses you more than before.... ;-)
