Hi

In my nusoap server I have specified the following outgoing array:

Code:

$server->wsdl->addComplexType(
'cats_parsout',
'complexType',
'struct',
'all',
'',
array(
'catID' => array('name'=>'catID','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'parent' => array('name'=>'parent','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'catName' => array('name'=>'catName','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'description' => array('name'=>'description','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'cat_ref' => array('name'=>'cat_ref','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'list_order' => array('name'=>'list_order','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'webVisible' => array('name'=>'webVisible','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'subcat' => array('name'=>'subcat','type'=>'xsd:string')
)
);

The only problem is that 'subcat' is not a string but an array of 'cats_parsout'.
How can I specify that 'subcat' is
1) of type array
2) Is an array of 'cats_parsout'?

I know that there is no such type as xsd:array and do not know what the work around is

look at examples posted on this forum.

I have, but there are no posts that give any explanation to my problem:

e.g.

Code:

$server = new soap_server;
$server->debug_flag=true; // TURN ON DEBUGGING
$server->configureWSDL('categories_server', 'urn:categories_server');
$server->wsdl->schemaTargetNamespace = $servicePath;

$server->wsdl->addComplexType(
'cats_parsIn',
'complexType',
'struct',
'all',
'',
array(
'customer_db' => array('name'=>'customer_db','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'websiteID' => array('name'=>'websiteID','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'catID' => array('name'=>'catID','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'parent' => array('name'=>'parent','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'catName' => array('name'=>'catName','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'description' => array('name'=>'description','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'cat_ref' => array('name'=>'cat_ref','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'list_order' => array('name'=>'list_order','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'webVisible' => array('name'=>'webVisible','type'=>'xsd:string')
)
);

$server->wsdl->addComplexType(
'cats_parsout',
'complexType',
'struct',
'all',
'',
array(
'catID' => array('name'=>'catID','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'parent' => array('name'=>'parent','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'catName' => array('name'=>'catName','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'description' => array('name'=>'description','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'cat_ref' => array('name'=>'cat_ref','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'list_order' => array('name'=>'list_order','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'webVisible' => array('name'=>'webVisible','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'subcat' => array('name'=>'subcat','type'=>'xsd:string[]', 'maxOccurs'=>'unbounded')
)
);

$server->wsdl->addComplexType(
'parsout_Array',
'complexType',
'array',
'',
'SOAP-ENC:Array',
array(),
array(
array('ref'=>'SOAP-ENC:arrayType','wsdl:arrayType'=>'tns:cats_parsout[]')
),
'tns:cats_parsout'
);

// INITIATE THE SOAP SERVER AND DEFINE THE SETTINGS
$server->register('get_categories',
array('cats_parsIn'=>'tns:cats_parsIn'), // input parameters
array('return'=> 'tns:parsout_Array'), // output parameters array
'urn:categories_server',    // namespace
'urn:categories_server#get_categories', // soapaction
'rpc',          // style
'encoded',       // use
'Categories Service'       // documentation
);

When I return the data, I get the follwoing:

Code:

_categories => (
0 => (
   catID => '3'
   parent => '0'
   catName => 'furniture'
   description => 'including wicker chairs, pine tables, cabinets, leather sofas'
   cat_ref => 'furn'
   list_order => '1'
   webVisible => 'yes'
   subcat => (
      0 => 'Array'
      1 => 'Array'
      2 => 'Array'
      3 => 'Array'
      4 => 'Array'
      5 => 'Array'
   )
)

subcat should be a repeat of 'cats_parsout' showing subcats, but just get 'Array' returned.
Not sure if im explaining my problem well.

I think you'd take a look at the samples first
For example:
return-an-array-of-structs-from-server-t2107.html

hope it helps.

Hi

No that isn't what I am trying to achieve.
I want to return a list of website categories, but I also want to return all the catgeories sub categories and display them in relation.

I want to return a nested array back from my soap service. All other examples are just returning one dimensional arrays.
I want the 'subcats' element to be an array of "cats_parsout".
I have specified the following complexTypes.

Code:

$server->wsdl->addComplexType(
'cats_parsout',
'complexType',
'struct',
'all',
'',
array(
'catID' => array('name'=>'catID','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'parent' => array('name'=>'parent','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'catName' => array('name'=>'catName','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'descrip' => array('name'=>'descrip','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'cat_ref' => array('name'=>'cat_ref','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'list_order' => array('name'=>'list_order','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'webVis' => array('name'=>'webVis','type'=>'xsd:string'),
'subcats' => array('name'=>subcats','type'=>'xsd:string[]')
)
);

$server->wsdl->addComplexType(
'parsout_Array',
'complexType',
'array',
'',
'SOAP-ENC:Array',
array(),
array(
array('ref'=>'SOAP-ENC:arrayType','wsdl:arrayType'=>'tns:cats_parsout[]')
),
'tns:cats_parsout'
);

All the elements are successfully returned apart from the 'subcats' element which is always blank or the string'Array' is returned if I specify the 'subcats' elements as followed:

'subcats' => array('name'=>subcats','type'=>'xsd:string[]', 'maxOccurs'=>'unbounded')

Does anybody know where I am going wrong?
'subcats' seems to be returned as a string as far as I can tell, and seeing as there is no such thing as a 'type'=>'xsd:array', how can I specify the 'subcats' elements as an array??

Hi,

Oops, I think I am not too late in helping you.

Just have a look to this url error-retrieving-data-from-nusoap-webservice-t3091.html.
