4s4c with Apache client retrieving a VARIANT vartype
Hi,
following questions:
1.
Are there productive webservices using 4s4c
(http://www.pocketsoap.com/4s4c/), in particular in conjunction with an
Apache SOAP client?
2.
Who has gained experience using the vartype VARIANT (Cpp) on a server
and accessing that via SOAP (using 4s4c and Apache SOAP-Client).
--> One of my problems is the Fault-Message:
"Unhandled VARTYPE in SOAPMarschallerFactory".
Where I can find an example of this constellation in the web??
thnx in advance
Hartmut Bernecker

sorry, not yet supported. Your best bet would be to make the method
return an SAFEARRAY of BSTR directly (rather than wrapping it in a
variant)

DATE is mapped to xsd:timeInstant, and should work fine. (assuming
Apache has a serializer for timeInstant) In general Variants are a
PIA, and not very well supported as of yet.

hmmm, well that would depend on (a) which SOAP/Java toolkit you use
and (b) how you decide to map them. Sorry i can't be more help. I had
a quick look around the Apache docs, and the type mappings are not
mentioned. I think you'll need to dig through the Apache source to
work it out.

Hi,
... the variant contains an SAFEARRAY of BSTR.
But I think I have a general problem (to unterstand how) to retrieve
*other* parameters than Strings or bytes/shorts/longs ..., by name:
- DATE
- VARIANT
--> Result: "Unhandled VARTYPE in SOAPMarschallerFactory"
In addition, I miss information, how to associate COM types with JAVA
types. The http://www.pocketsoap.com/4s4c/docs/datatypes.html is

Hi,
thank you for your quick response. -
The version is:
1.3.2.
The signature is:
IOSuche(long p_lIOTyp, BSTR p_Bezeichnung, BSTR p_Hilfsbezeichnung, BSTR
p_Benutzer, long p_lStatus, DATE p_GeaendertStart, DATE p_GeaendertStop,
long p_lMaxTreffer, long* p_plTreffer, VARIANT* p_pOidInfoObjektArray).
(Annotation: I'm not a C++ programmer, therfore I don't be absolutly
sure in that respects.)

What exactly are you trying to do ?, what's the COM method signature
that causes the problem. Which version of 4s4c are you running ?,
there were some changes to the way variants are handled in v1.3.2
