Array String parameter on SOAP Web Service

Sorry about bumping this thread but i really need a solution, or at least
the confirmation that i'm doing things right and this is a limitation of
Apache Axis2.

Subject: Array String parameter on SOAP Web Service
To: java-user@axis.apache.org


Hi

I'm new to Axis2, and i've developed a soap web service using Eclipse
Helios integration with Axis2 and tomcat. I've tried searching the mailing
list but no solution seemed to address my problem. This is why i send this
email since i don't know what to do anymore! :(

I'm trying to pass a string of array to the following web service function:

package pt.uc.dei.MyWebService;

public class MyWebService {
//other functions ignored
(...)

    public int getArray(String[]result) {
       return (result.length);
   }
}

The WSDL generated is attached with this email (it has definitions of other
operations but getArray is the one with the problem)


However when i use SOAPUI to generate a client. The default request that
SoapUI generate is:

<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"<http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/>xmlns:myw=
"http://MyWebService.dei.uc.pt" <http://mywebservice.dei.uc.pt/>>
    <soapenv:Header/>
         <soapenv:Body>
           <myw:getArray>
                <myw:result>?</myw:result>
           </myw:getArray>
         </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>


I've edited the soap envelop tag, and the request content inside result tag
it in order to support an array like this:

<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"<http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/>
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema>xmlns:xsi=
"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance>xmlns:SOAP-ENC=
"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"<http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/>xmlns:myw=
"http://MyWebService.dei.uc.pt" <http://mywebservice.dei.uc.pt/>>
<soapenv:Header/>
  <soapenv:Body>
    <myw:getArray>
         <myw:result>
            <param SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:string[4]" >
                 <item xsi:type="xsd:string">Egypt</item>
                 <item xsi:type="xsd:string">Amsterdam</item>
                 <item xsi:type="xsd:string">Lisbon</item>
                 <item xsi:type="xsd:string">Paris</item>
            </param>
         </myw:result>
    </myw:getArray>
  </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

However the response i get from the getArray operation is :

<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"<http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/>>

   <soapenv:Body>
      <ns:getArrayResponse
xmlns:ns="http://MyWebService.dei.uc.pt"<http://mywebservice.dei.uc.pt/>>

          <ns:return>1</ns:return>
      </ns:getArrayResponse>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>


It seems like the array of strings is being converted to one dimensional
empty Array, and i'm not receiving the strings inside the soap array from
the request.

Can anyone provide me what is causing this and if my request is being built
correctly?

Best Regards

Thank you Sagara and Raghu (again), your reply's helped me to know all i
wanted about axis handling of soap array's.

Re: Array String parameter on SOAP Web Service

Posted by Sagara Gunathunga <sa...@gmail.com>.
 Axis2 does not support for  SOAP encoding hence you can't use arrayType
attribute. As previous post mentioned you have to edit WSDL and use
XMLSchema to specify your array constrains.

 Thanks !

RE: Array String parameter on SOAP Web Service

Posted by Raghu Upadhyayula <ru...@responsys.com>.
I guess for that you have to modify your WSDL as follows and regenerate the code from wsdl.

<xs:element name="getArray">
    <xs:complexType>
        <xs:sequence>
            <xs:element maxOccurs="4" minOccurs="0" name="result" nillable="true" type="xs:string" />
        </xs:sequence>
    </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

Raghu

Thanks! That worked it returned me 4 (the length of the array with all the elements).

However, this only addresses part of the problem.

I would like to reserve a array with a fixed size like what was done with my previous request example with:

arrayType="xsd:string[4]"


For instance, i want the array to reserve 4 elements for the array and not more.

How i can do that?

Hi

I'm new to Axis2, and i've developed a soap web service using Eclipse Helios integration with Axis2 and tomcat. I've tried searching the mailing list but no solution seemed to address my problem. This is why i send this email since i don't know what to do anymore! :(

I'm trying to pass a string of array to the following web service function:

package pt.uc.dei.MyWebService;

public class MyWebService {
//other functions ignored
(...)

    public int getArray(String[]result) {
       return (result.length);
   }
}

The WSDL generated is attached with this email (it has definitions of other operations but getArray is the one with the problem)


However when i use SOAPUI to generate a client. The default request that SoapUI generate is:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"<http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/> xmlns:myw="http://MyWebService.dei.uc.pt"<http://mywebservice.dei.uc.pt/>>
    <soapenv:Header/>
         <soapenv:Body>
           <myw:getArray>
                <myw:result>?</myw:result>
           </myw:getArray>
         </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>


I've edited the soap envelop tag, and the request content inside result tag it in order to support an array like this:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"<http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/>  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema> xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance> xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"<http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/> xmlns:myw="http://MyWebService.dei.uc.pt"<http://mywebservice.dei.uc.pt/>>
<soapenv:Header/>
  <soapenv:Body>
    <myw:getArray>
         <myw:result>
            <param SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:string[4]" >
                 <item xsi:type="xsd:string">Egypt</item>
                 <item xsi:type="xsd:string">Amsterdam</item>
                 <item xsi:type="xsd:string">Lisbon</item>
                 <item xsi:type="xsd:string">Paris</item>
            </param>
         </myw:result>
    </myw:getArray>
  </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

However the response i get from the getArray operation is :

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"<http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/>>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <ns:getArrayResponse xmlns:ns="http://MyWebService.dei.uc.pt"<http://mywebservice.dei.uc.pt/>>
          <ns:return>1</ns:return>
      </ns:getArrayResponse>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>


It seems like the array of strings is being converted to one dimensional empty Array, and i'm not receiving the strings inside the soap array from the request.

Can anyone provide me what is causing this and if my request is being built correctly?

Best Regards



Re: Array String parameter on SOAP Web Service

Thanks! That worked it returned me 4 (the length of the array with all the
elements).

However, this only addresses part of the problem.

I would like to reserve a array with a fixed size like what was done with
my previous request example with:

arrayType="xsd:string[4]"


For instance, i want the array to reserve 4 elements for the array and not
more.

How i can do that?

Best regards

RE: Array String parameter on SOAP Web Service

Hi Rui,

Try this and see ....

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"<http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/> xmlns:myw="http://MyWebService.dei.uc.pt"<http://mywebservice.dei.uc.pt/>>

         <soapenv:Body>
           <myw:getArray>
                <myw:result>Egypt</myw:result>
                <myw:result>Amsterdam</myw:result>
                <myw:result>Lisbon</myw:result>
                <myw:result>Paris</myw:result>
           </myw:getArray>
         </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

Hi

I'm new to Axis2, and i've developed a soap web service using Eclipse Helios integration with Axis2 and tomcat. I've tried searching the mailing list but no solution seemed to address my problem. This is why i send this email since i don't know what to do anymore! :(

I'm trying to pass a string of array to the following web service function:

package pt.uc.dei.MyWebService;

public class MyWebService {
//other functions ignored
(...)

    public int getArray(String[]result) {
       return (result.length);
   }
}

The WSDL generated is attached with this email (it has definitions of other operations but getArray is the one with the problem)


However when i use SOAPUI to generate a client. The default request that SoapUI generate is:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"<http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/> xmlns:myw="http://MyWebService.dei.uc.pt"<http://mywebservice.dei.uc.pt/>>
    <soapenv:Header/>
         <soapenv:Body>
           <myw:getArray>
                <myw:result>?</myw:result>
           </myw:getArray>
         </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>


I've edited the soap envelop tag, and the request content inside result tag it in order to support an array like this:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"<http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/>  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema> xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance> xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"<http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/> xmlns:myw="http://MyWebService.dei.uc.pt"<http://mywebservice.dei.uc.pt/>>
<soapenv:Header/>
  <soapenv:Body>
    <myw:getArray>
         <myw:result>
            <param SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:string[4]" >
                 <item xsi:type="xsd:string">Egypt</item>
                 <item xsi:type="xsd:string">Amsterdam</item>
                 <item xsi:type="xsd:string">Lisbon</item>
                 <item xsi:type="xsd:string">Paris</item>
            </param>
         </myw:result>
    </myw:getArray>
  </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

However the response i get from the getArray operation is :

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"<http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/>>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <ns:getArrayResponse xmlns:ns="http://MyWebService.dei.uc.pt"<http://mywebservice.dei.uc.pt/>>
