PHP IDE :: NuSphere Forums :: View topic - example request for 'maxOccurs'=>'unbounded' in nusoap

Posted: Wed Jul 25, 2007 3:47 am

I have been trying to find an example/tutorial on how to impliment in php the use of an unbounded element in building a nusoap server

for example:

1. here's the base element

Code:

$server->wsdl->addComplexType(
'Screen',
'complexType',
'struct',
'all',
'',
array(
'ScreenNumber' => array('name' => 'ScreenNumber' , 'type'=> 'xsd:string')
)
);

2. here is the parent element

Code:

$server->wsdl->addComplexType(
'ScreensObject',
'complexType',
'struct',
'all',
'',
array(
'Screen' => array('name' => 'Screen' , 'type'=> 'tns:Screen', 'maxOccurs'=>'unbounded')
)
);

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now, how do you actually use this? I have tried puting an array such as the following:
1. create a associative array holding the screen data that corresponds to Screen complex type shown above

Code:

$Screen = array(
'ScreenNumber' => $screenid
);

2. save the instance (where Screen_array is just a dummy array that is filled up w/ all the Screen data

Code:

array_push($Screen_array, $Screen);

3. use this instance

Code:

$ScreenData = array(
'Screen' => $Screen_array
)

but I am getting an error:

Code:

Fault
Array
(
[faultcode] => Server
[faultactor] =>
[faultstring] => unable to serialize result
[detail] =>
)

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Solution:

turns out maxOccurs works the same as if you create SOAP-ENC:Array

example:

Code:

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

works the same as this:

Code:

$server->wsdl->addComplexType(
'MainObject',
'complexType',
'struct',
'all',
'',
array(
'DataName' => array('name' => 'DataName' , 'type'=> 'tns:DataName', 'maxOccurs'=>'unbounded'),
//'DataName' => array('name' => 'DataName' , 'type'=> 'tns:DataName__s'), <-- commented out so you can compare
)
);

once again hope this helps someone else
