Hi Steven, In response to your note: Q)Are you saying that you are invoking a web service operation that takes a phone number as a parameter A) Yes
Q) but the operation has defined the type of the phone number to be an integer A) Yes As you suggested, I have contacted the person controlling the web service, explained my situation, and I am now allowed to send strings containing the phone number. Thanks for your guidance. Regards, Mark. -----Original Message----- From: Steven Gollery [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, 27 February 2002 10:48 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: How to get leading zeros into <number xsi:type="xsd:int">...</num ber> Mark, Are you saying that you are invoking a web service operation that takes a phone number as a parameter, but the operation has defined the type of the phone number to be an integer? If so, this appears to me to be a flaw in the definition of the web service: it doesn't make sense for a phone number to be considered as an integer, since you are unlikely to perform arithmetic on it. If someone else has control of the web service definition, you might ask them how their service handles phone numbers with leading zeroes. They may already be dealing with this issue internally.
