apachesoap:Element[] from php

[david garry <da...@nomos-software.com>]

Hi there,

 

I've developed a web service using axis. I've enclosed my entire WSDL in the
above attachement.

 

The problem I have is developing a client using php to use the
apachesoap:Element[] type. 

 

(From attached WSDL)

<complexType name="ArrayOf_apachesoap_Element">

      <complexContent>

<restriction base="soapenc:Array">

                  <attribute ref="soapenc:arrayType"
wsdl:arrayType="apachesoap:Element[]" /> 

            </restriction>

      </complexContent>

</complexType>

 

 

I generate a client proxy using wsdl2php tool.. Proxy code includes the
following code

 

class ValidateDetails 

{   

            public $elements; // ArrayOf_apachesoap_Element   

            public $pipeName; // string 

} 

 

and the parameters are set and service is called using the following code

 

$xml = '<elements> <some xml here />    </elements>'; 

$xmlElement = new DOMElement('elements', $xml, '');  

$details = new ValidateDetails(); 

$details->elements[0] =  $xmlElement; 

$details->pipeName = 'mypipe';   

$response = new ValidationResult(); 

$response = $client->validate($details); 

 

However the SoapRequest object does not contain the nested xml inside the
element node. 

 

It looks like this

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>  

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" 

            xmlns:ns1="http://build.nomos.com" 

            xmlns:ns2="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap" 

            xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" 

            xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" 

            xmlns:ns3="urn:CompilationService" 

            xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 

 
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"> 

<SOAP-ENV:Body> 

            <ns1:validate> 

                        <details xsi:type="ns3:ValidateDetails">  

                                    <elements
SOAP-ENC:arrayType="ns2:Element[1]"
xsi:type="ns3:ArrayOf_apachesoap_Element"> 

                                    <item xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Struct"/>
</elements>   

                                    <pipeName
xsi:type="xsd:string">mypipe</pipeName> 

                        </details>

            </ns1:validate>

</SOAP-ENV:Body>

</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>  

 

I am unable to understand how to populate the elements field with the
correct xml. 

 

Please suggest what is this ArrayOf_apachesoap_Element datatype and how can
I populate this parameter.

 

Best regards
