Most of the time when I see this type of WSDL (arg0 and arg1) I have to enclose my XML in a CDATA structure.
i.e. <arg0><![CDATA[<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <MY_XML> <ATTR1>VALUE</ATTR1> . . . </MY_XML>]]> </arg0> With the plugin logging turned on and set to 100 ( Plugin-Log-Level:100 ) in the ar.conf (ar.cfg in windows) you can see the XML in the log. See the Configuring manual the "AR System configuration files" section.

Hi all, I've been having issues creating a web service out to a third party solution (IBM Maximo) so i thought i would try the following...... 1 - create a basic form with just 2 fields, i called "OUTBOUNDXML", 1 called "REPLY" 2 - load their WSDL into a filter to run on SUBMIT 3 - in the filter, click the "Input Mappings" button where i now see an "XML Data Type" of "arg0", so i map this field to the "OUTBOUNDXML" field on my form 4 - similarily, in the "Output Mappings", i see an "XML Data Type" of "return" so i map this to field "REPLY" on my form 5 - and finally, i create an entry in the Form and put some XML formatted data in the "OUTBOUNDXML" and submit, hoping that i get a successful reply back. So, i submit the record and the system waits for a second or 2 before yes i get a reply back, but its an error and our 3rd party company are saying that they cant see any data. So, question........ Should this work, namely, formatting the data in a character field in an "XML format" and sending through to ??? I wanted to do this purely as a back to basics style test to just prove that their side is working ok. All help gretefully received. Sean
