Howdy -- I'm close to solving my UDDI problem, but I've got a syntax problem with structures that's stumping me.
The UDDI WSDL/XSD (see excerpts below) says the XML snippet below is a valid API call. Datatype-wise, per the WSDL/XSD, it's a complex datatype (<name />) within another complex datatype (<find_business />). Only the string within the <name /> element is a simple string datatype. Now, according to the CF docs, the only way to pass a complex datatype from CF to a web service is to represent it in CF as a structure. So, I have to transform this: <find_business generic="2.0" xmlns="urn:uddi-org:api_v2"> <name>Microsoft</name> </find_business> into a CF structure that I'm going to pass as an input argument to the UDDI web service in my cfinvoke. I discovered that this structure code: find_business = StructNew(); find_business.generic = "2.0"; properly defines the attribute "generic" in the outermost complextype. So it's clear that what comes after the dot is the name of an attribute. But <name /> isn't an attribute; it's a sub-element. What syntax do I use to define within the structure this inner "name" complextype element? Doing this: find_business.name = "Microsoft"; clearly isn't going to work, as that's just the equivalent of inserting another attribute, name="Microsoft", within the find_business tag. This doesn't work, either: find_business.name = StructNew(); since then you're stuck with this syntax question: find_business.name.whatwouldIputhere = "Microsoft"; So: Is it simply not possible in CF to represent the above complex-within-complex XML document as a CF structure? And one other quick question: the UDDI WSDL specifies document style, not rpc style, for all method calls. Example: <soap:operation soapAction="find_business" style="document" /> Is there a difference between these two styles in how you have to represent input arguments of complex datatype? For example, do I pass a complex input argument as a CF structure when the WSDL uses document style vs. passing it as an XML document object when the WSDL uses rpc style? -- Larry Afrin Medical University of South Carolina UDDI v2 WSDL/XSD excerpts: Note that the UDDI WSDL and XSD define both "find_business" and "name" as complex datatypes: <!-- from http://uddi.org/schema/uddi_v2.xsd --> <xsd:element name="name" type="uddi:name" /> <xsd:complexType name="name"> <xsd:simpleContent> <xsd:extension base="string"> <xsd:attribute ref="xml:lang" use="optional" /> </xsd:extension> </xsd:simpleContent> </xsd:complexType> <!-- from http://uddi.org/wsdl/inquire_v2.wsdl --> <xsd:element name="find_business" type="uddi:find_business" /> <xsd:complexType name="find_business"> <xsd:sequence> <xsd:element ref="uddi:name" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" /> </xsd:sequence> <xsd:attribute name="generic" type="string" use="required" /> </xsd:complexType> ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:193790 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
