Serialization of IBM® Business Automation Workflow objects for use in web services
You can add metadata to Business Automation Workflow objects
to control how those objects are serialized into XML elements in a
SOAP request for web services.
When sending complex types as input parameters to web services, Business Automation Workflow often needs hints as to how to structure the data. These methods are built on the structure because a structure is, by definition, a Complex type.
Note: Serializing Business Automation Workflow objects
for use in web services is primarily for advanced users, and is now
required only when using
Record objects with web
services instead of the generated types.The following methods have been added to the tw.object.Record() object
to assist in forming the SOAP request:
setSOAPElementName(string elementName)setSOAPElementNS(string namespace)defineSOAPProperty(string propertyName, string schemaName, string typeName, boolean isAttribute, string namespace)
Example
You are passing an object of type NameUpdateRequest as
an argument to a web service. This object is defined in the namespace http://www.lombardisoftware.com/schemas/NameUpdateRequest .
The NameUpdateRequest object contains two properties,
First (string) and Last (string).
Following is example code to generate the XML that is part of the SOAP call:
<# out = new tw.object.Record(); out.setSOAPElementNS("http://www.lombardisoftware.com/schemas/ NameUpdateRequest"); out.setSOAPElementName("NameUpdateRequest"); out.defineSOAPProperty("First", "http://www.w3.org/2001/ XMLSchema", "string", false, ""); out.defineSOAPProperty("Last", "http://www.w3.org/2001/ XMLSchema", "string", false, ""); out.First = "John"; out.Last = "Smith"; #>This generates the following XML element:
<NameUpdateRequest xmlns="http://www.lombardisoftware.com/schemas/ NameUpdateRequest"> <first xmlns="">John</first> <last xmlns="">Smith</last> </NameUpdateRequest>
