#10 Is there a way to use rpcvar to return heterogeneous Maps?
My apache-based server uses tclsoap to implement
rpc-style web services. I'm trying to use rpcvar to
generate something that I can consume from Java using
Apache Axis and not too much work. I came up with this:
rpcvar::typedef -namespace
"http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap" {
key string
value string
} mapItem
rpcvar::typedef -namespace
"http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap" {
items mapItem()
} Map
set l {}
lappend l [list key a value 1]
lappend l [list key b value 2]
lappend l [list key c value 3.0]
return [wrap Map [list items $l]]
But this means that all the elements are deserialized
as strings. I want them to be Boolean, Int, Calendar,
etc. All that has to happen for Axis to be happy is
for the elements to be named like so:
<items>
<item>
<key>k</key>
<value>v</value>
</item>
</items>
Can I do that using rpcvar without making the
collection homogeneous?
How to send the complex Type "ArrayOfKeyValue"? What is the tcl data
type struct for this type complex type?
2. How to pass this complex type parameter to soap method call? The complex
type format is defined in the wsdl as mentioned in the "What is the
expected output?".
Here how to generate and send the
subelements <option><item><key/><value/></item></option>
using tclsoap at method call.
How to send the complex Type parameter - repeated "sub record" in a method - tclsoap Options
What steps will reproduce the problem?
I am trying tclsoap and tclws (both). But, tclws generated request has
xs: at subelements, so trying with tclsoap.
But, stuck with complex types - SOAP request with repeated "sub
record"
