Hi there all, I am a SOAP and AXIS newbie (3 days old) and had a question re returning multiple parameters using java. I have looked in the archives and cannot find anything that resolves my question. So my conclusion is that I must be missing something simple. 8-)
I have written a SOAP server written in python which takes in 3 parameters (Code, Timestamp and Misc) and returns these 3 parameters as well as an additional parameter "Status". The SOAP XML sent back looks like the following. ''' <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema"; > <SOAP-ENV:Body> <MyRequestResponse SOAP-ENC:root="1"> <Result> <Code xsi:type="xsd:string">Hello</LocalOPCode> <Status xsi:type="xsd:string">success</Status> <Misc xsi:type="xsd:string">one</LocalTAX> <Timestmap xsi:type="xsd:string">two</BridgeTNXNo> </Result> </MyRequestResponse> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> ''' My java client written using axis1.2RC3, snippet follows.... All it does is calls invoke and prints out the returned result, which seems to be an array. ''' call.addParameter("Code", org.apache.axis.Constants.XSD_STRING, javax.xml.rpc.ParameterMode.IN); /* ... more of the same ... */ call.setReturnType(org.apache.axis.encoding.XMLType.SOAP_ARRAY ); Object[] ret = (Object[])call.invoke( new Object[]{"Hello", "one", "two" ); for ( int i = 0; i < ret.length; i++ ) { System.out.println( "Sent 'Hello!', got '" + ret[i] + "'" ); } ''' >From the client, it seems like call.invoke() returns an array. My results are Sent 'Hello!', got 'Hello' Sent 'Hello!', got 'success' Sent 'Hello!', got 'one' Sent 'Hello!', got 'two' I need to be able to distinguish which parameter is the "Status" parameter. This information is lost cos the client gets back the results in an array. I need it to be in a Map (HashMap) or something like that or a class? Something which will allow to find out the value of Status. Any suggestions as to how I can do this? I could use something like jdom to unmarshall the XML but thought AXIS might have something that would be similar. Many thanks in advance, Chai -- | O! it is excellent!
