Re: [Nusoap-general] Java hashtable: array serialized into 2 strings

I believe the WSDL has the information required. The getGenes operation is defined as <wsdl:operation name="getGenes" parameterOrder="in0"> <wsdl:input name="getGenesRequest" message="impl:getGenesRequest"/> <wsdl:output name="getGenesResponse" message="impl:getGenesResponse"/> <wsdl:fault name="SOAPException" message="impl:SOAPException"/> </wsdl:operation> The getGenesRequest message is defined as <wsdl:message name="getGenesRequest"> <wsdl:part name="in0" type="apachesoap:Map"/> </wsdl:message> The apachesoap:Map type is defined as <complexType name="Map"> <sequence> <element name="item" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" type="apachesoap:mapItem"/> </sequence> </complexType> The apachesoap:mapItem type is defined as <complexType name="mapItem"> <sequence> <element name="key" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/> <element name="value" nillable="true" type="xsd:string"/> </sequence> </complexType> This means that each element of a Map looks like a PHP associative array with two elements $mapItem = array('key'=>'symbol', 'value' => $symbol); To create a Map, you would do something like $items[] = array('key'=>'symbol1', 'value' => $symbol1); $items[] = array('key'=>'symbol2', 'value' => $symbol2); $items[] = array('key'=>'symbol3', 'value' => $symbol3); $map = array('item' => $items); Scott Nichol Do not send e-mail directly to this e-mail address, because it is filtered to accept only mail from specific mail lists. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ivan Porro" <pivan@bio.dist.unige.it> To: <nusoap-general@lists.sourceforge.net> Cc: <soap@lists.php.net> Sent: Tuesday, September 14, 2004 11:34 AM Subject: [Nusoap-general] Java hashtable: array serialized into 2 strings > Hi, > > I'm usign NuSOAP but I think the question is general. > > I'm writing a client to consume a webservice provided by caBIO (it's a > repository of web services dedicated to gene, proteine, mutation and similar > stuff involved in cancer research) > > There are SOAP Lite Perl client, java client.
