PHP IDE :: NuSphere Forums :: View topic - Problems sending array from NuSoap client

Posted: Fri Sep 02, 2005 9:33 am

Firstly please accept my apologies for any misuse of terminology. I'm new to this, but learning. I am trying to convert a script from Perl to PHP. The script written in Perl makes use of SOAP:Lite. The first requests were very easy to get working with NuSoap, then I hit a stumbling block when trying to send an array. The relevent part of the WSDL is listed below..

Code:

<wsdl:part name="domains" type="impl:ArrayOf_xsd_anyType" />

When using SOAP::Lite the following request is sent and the server accepts the request..

Code:

<domains xsi:type="impl:ArrayOf_xsd_anyType" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:string[2]">
<item xsi:type="xsd:string">myserver</item>
<item xsi:type="xsd:string">test.com</item>
</domains>

When using NuSoap the following request is sent..

Code:

<domains xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array" SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:anyType[2]">
<item xsi:type="xsd:anyType">myserver</item>
<item xsi:type="xsd:anyType">test.com</item>
</domains>

The request generated by NuSoap causes the server to produce the following error..

Code:

soapenv:Server.generalException: [org.apache.axis.AxisFault : ; nested exception is:
org.xml.sax.SAXException: No deserializer for {http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}anyType]; nested exception is:
coldfusion.xml.rpc.CFCInvocationException: [org.apache.axis.AxisFault : ; nested exception is:
org.xml.sax.SAXException: No deserializer for {http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema}anyType]

I know I could hard code the response, but I would like to keep it quite flexible with NuSoap generating the response. Could anyone advise me on how I could get NuSoap to handle this 'correctly' please?

Hi ddmitrie. I have read the article you suggested, but it hasn't helped me work out where the problem is. Would NuSOAP support the handling of this array?

sorry, forgot that sometimes the structures are complex...
Please proceed with this part

In the end I used soapval on each element of the array. Thanks for you help.
