SOAPpy and ArrayOfString

[Edwin.Madari at VerizonWireless.com]

for someMethod(Field1 ArrayOf_xsd_string, other_parameters)
a call someMethod( ['str1', 'str2', 'str3'], other_parameters)  *works for me* with SOAPpy 0.12.0. yes sir it does.
 
in PERL, let alone array types, even for simple types it was hard for me with all the '->', and '$'  prefixing for objects and variables.
 
I use following snippet to  check arguments, and return types from a wsdl for each method. If any on them is not a simple type, check the wsdl manually for details of the data type.
====================================================
import os, sys, glob
from SOAPpy import WSDL
 
def checkwsdl(file):
   if os.path.isfile(file):
      print 'wsdl:%s' % file
      server = WSDL.Proxy(file)
      for ct, k in enumerate(server.methods.keys()):
         args =[]
         rets = []
         callInfo = server.methods[k]
         for ct2, name in enumerate(callInfo.inparams):
            args.append('%s %s' % (name.name.encode(), name.type[1].encode()))
         for ct2, name in enumerate(callInfo.outparams):
            rets.append('%s %s' % (name.name.encode(), name.type[1].encode()))
         print '%s. %s(%s)\n\treturns(%s)' % ( ct+1, k.encode(),
                  ',\n\t\t'.join(args),   ',\n\t\t'.join(rets))
      print
 
if __name__ == '__main__' :
   args = sys.argv[1:]
   for arg in args:
      for file in glob.glob(arg):
         checkwsdl(file)
====================================================
 
Even though a method may be asking for an array, server may be accepting only up to a certain number of elements in the array.
And check the data type for elements in the array.
 
of course I had to tweak a couple of SOAPpy modules to accept long data type, and work from behind a firewall.
 
hope that helps...
thanks Edwin

Hi, 
 
In the article below you mention that you were succesful at doing this through perl. Would it be possible to send me the perl code?
