[Webware-discuss] Returns values from XMLRpcServlet

[John B. <joh...@mo...>]

Hi All,

 

Newbie question that I can't seem to find an answer to.

On a return from a published XMLRpcServlet method, I need to returns 3
values. I was hoping to return the values in the following manner:

 

pkg = "<response>\n"

pkg += "<sn>" + row[14] + "</sn>\n"

pkg += "<cl_id>" + str(row[8]) + "</cl_id>\n"

pkg += "<reg_expiry>" + str(row[2]) + "</reg_expiry>\n"

pkg += "</response>\n"

return pkg

 

The result in the client is the following:

 

<params>

<param>

<value><string>&lt;response&gt;

&lt;sn&gt;TESTPR 12345 67890 CCCCC&lt;/sn&gt;

&lt;cl_id&gt;1858&lt;/cl_id&gt;

&lt;reg_expiry&gt;2023-06-04&lt;/reg_expiry&gt;

&lt;/response&gt;

</string></value>

</param>

</params>

 

I can make this work, but was really hoping the result would be like:

 

<params>

<param>

<value><string><response>

<sn>TESTPR 12345 67890 CCCCC</sn>

<cl_id>1858</cl_id>

<reg_expiry>2023-06-04</reg_expiry>

</response>

</string></value>

</param>

</params>

 

If I do the following for the return value:

 

trans = self.transaction()

self.sendOK( 'text/xml', pkg, trans )

return ""

 

Where "pkg" is the xml structure:

 

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<response>

<sn>TESTPR 12345 67890 CCCCC</sn>

<cl_id>1858</cl_id>

<reg_expiry>2023-06-04</reg_expiry>

</response>

 

The client receives the following:

 

<?xml version="1.0" \?>

<response>

<sn>TESTPR 12345 67890 CCCCC</sn>

<cl_id>1858</cl_id>

<reg_expiry>2023-06-04</regexpiry>

</response>

<?xml version='1.0'?>

<methodResponse>

<params>

<param>

<value><nil/></value></param>

</params>

</methodResponse>

 

Notice the package I want to return is there, but so is the default return
structure from the XMLRpcServlet class.

This is useful if I just ignore the second XML segment which is easy enough
to do (note: The content length of the header does not match either the
total return package length, or, the length of the default return structure
or the one I added).

I was hoping that the sendOK with the content would replace the default
return value, but it still puts the default in there.

 

I was looking for a method(s) to manage the return parameters/values. Is
there anything like that?

 

Is there a definition for changes to the input parameters to the method to
be returned to the client? Is that where I should be looking?

 

Is there another approach I should be using?
