Re: IWS Web service response - can I change the return tag to return_data or something else

The answer is no.

Seems to be a deficiency in PHP....not being able to handle XML payloads
that are legit.

Sent by: "MIDRANGE-L" <midrange-l-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>

Can I change the soap response from the IWS Web Service process.

Currently the response is like this example

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope";>
<soap:Body>
<ns2:msd100rResponse xmlns:ns2="

http://webservice01.wsbeans.iseries/

">
<return>
<POUTDATA>
<length>518</length>
<string>{"messages":["success",1,""]} --- Omitted data
---</string>
</POUTDATA>
</return>
</ns2:msd100rResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

The POUTDATA is the output parameter defined in my program. I believe

IBM

is generating the <return> tags ?

The consumer of this web service is using PHP and says they get an error

because of the <return> ... </return>
They say that "return" is a reserved PHP word. (I don't really

understand

that as I would not expect it to be causing the issue)

But in deploying the web service through IWS I can see no way to change
this ?

This was the response from the eternal PHP programmer trying to consume
the web service

I am having issues with the response from the webservice as return is a
keyword in PHP. (INVALID URI REMOVED

User error: "return" is an invalid render array key in
Drupal\Core\Render\Element::children() (line 97 of

Is it possible to change this element?

Here is the PHP function the external client is using; (I believe the
issue is when they are calling get_object_vars but I am waiting on
confirmation of that)

function ids_userform_checkerp($userid){

));
$response = $soap->__soapCall('msd100r',$params);
$responseCode = get_object_vars($response);
\Drupal::messenger()->addMessage($responseCode);

return;
}

There are no problems with calling the soap service. The issue is with

the

response, which is received though unable to access the data.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Thanks

Don
