Re: WSDL - Mix simple and complex types

Jon,

yes there is a PXXMLRPGCM command that generates RPG code and a
PXXMLXMLCM that restructure an XML file so XML can be read in text based
editors with right identions and line breaks. Both are part of Core.

I do a lot of work on the Danish public format OIOUBL and they have online
validation that bot are XSD and Schematron validations.

http://www.oioubl.info/classes/en/index.html

I write a "new" section into and existing XML document as an example
and validates it - then I generate the RPG code to include in your program.

Many XML projects starts with an example so to me it was natual to
generate the basic RPG code and just fill the missing RPG code around it.

Not so far Henrik - not had a need to do that to-date.

Nice to know it is there though. Is that part of Core?

Jon,

have you ever tried to take a sample XML document and convert it into
powerEXT RPGLE
XMLNODE code by using the PXXMLRPGCM command? It will replicate the xml
document
an create RPGLE code.

I've had several cases Todd where the customer provided sample XML but
there was no schema. This was a lot faster that ploughing through the

XML.

I agree that it may not be perfect - but that wasn't what I was looking
for.

I would be a little bit hesitant to use a schema generator, much like

writing code first and then doing the design work. I'm not saying it
cannot work but be careful.

Thanks,

Michael - have you tried this:

http://www.freeformatter.com/xsd-generator.html

I found it quite useful recently in a similar situation to yours where

I

could not get the sequencing right. You simply paste in a section of

your

XML and it writes a basic xsd for you which you can then refine.

Various other transforms/checks on the site as well.

Sorry I didn't think to suggest this earlier.

Thanks Todd and Grizz. I will investigate both of these. Looks like
that's the path I want to be on!

Michael,

I think the problem is that you don't have a parent element to
contain the repeating elements. Try something like the schema below.
Please let me know if this works for you.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsd:schema
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:tst="
http://ws.example.com/test"; attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="

http://ws.example.com/test";

xml:lang="en">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:documentation xml:lang="en">Test store web
service</xsd:documentation>
</xsd:annotation>

<xsd:element name="documentName">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="store" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="repeater" type="tst:RepeaterType"

/>

</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>

<xsd:complexType name="ItemType">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="sku" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="promo" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="zip" type="xsd:string" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

<xsd:complexType name="RepeaterType">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:documentation>Repeating element</xsd:documentation>
</xsd:annotation>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="item" type="tst:ItemType" minOccurs="1"
maxOccurs="10" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>

Thanks,

Subject: [WEB400] WSDL - Mix simple and complex types

Ok...I've worked with WSDLs to define web services, but it's always
been the clone and go type model. I'm running into a problem now that
I can't seem to resolve. Here's the gist: I want to have a web
service that accepts a store number, and then up to 10 groups of SKU,
promo and zip. I'm trying
this:

<xsd:element name="inStore">
<xsd:simpleType>
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string" /> </xsd:simpleType>
</xsd:element> <xsd:element name="eCommercePromosOperation">
<xsd:complexType> <xsd:sequence minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="10">
<xsd:element name="inSKU"
type="xsd:string"></xsd:element> <xsd:element name="inPromoNum"
type="xsd:string"></xsd:element> <xsd:element name="inZip"
type="xsd:string"></xsd:element> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>

But SoapUI only shows the complex type, like this (in the request):

<ecom:eCommercePromosOperation>
<inSKU>?</inSKU>
<inPromoNum>?</inPromoNum>
<inZip>?</inZip>
</ecom:eCommercePromosOperation>

Any ideas? Thanks!
