SET WEB SERVICE PARAMETER

version 2003

SET WEB SERVICE PARAMETER (name; value{; soapType})

The SET WEB SERVICE PARAMETER command enables the definition of a parameter used for a client SOAP request. Call this command for each parameter in the request (the number of times the command is called depends on the number of parameters).

In name, pass the name of the parameter as it must appear in the SOAP request.

In value, pass the 4D variable containing the value of the parameter. In the case of proxy methods, this variable is generally $1, $2, $3, etc., corresponding to a 4D parameter passed to the proxy method when it was called. It is, however, possible to use intermediary variables.

Note: Each 4D variable or array used must first be declared using the commands of the "Compiler" and "Arrays" themes.

By default, 4th Dimension automatically determines the most appropriate SOAP type for the name parameter according to the content of value. The indication of the type is included in the request.

However, you may want to "force" the definition of the SOAP type of a parameter. In this case, you can pass the optional soapType parameter using one of the following character strings (primary data types):

This example defines two parameters:

   C_TEXT($1)
   C_TEXT($2)
   SET WEB SERVICE PARAMETER("city";$1)
   SET WEB SERVICE PARAMETER("country";$2)

CALL WEB SERVICE, GET WEB SERVICE RESULT.
