Hello all, I am trying to use a web services API with Python and SOAPpy as a client. Some of the method paramters in this web service's WSDL are asking for an "ArrayOfString" type. Here is my code so far:
#!/usr/bin/python from SOAPpy import WSDL wsdlFile = 'http://localhost:8080/axis/services/USD_R11_WebService?WSDL' server = WSDL.Proxy(wsdlFile) server.soapproxy.config.dumpSOAPOut = 1 server.soapproxy.config.dumpSOAPIn = 1 SID = server.login('srvcdesk', 'xxxxxxxx') contacts = server.doSelect(SID, 'cnt', "userid = 'abeju01'", 1, ['last_name', 'first_name', 'userid']) I tried using a simple Python list for the argument that wants "ArrayOfString". Python generates the following XML for the last argument of the "doSelect" command above: <v5 SOAP-ENC:arrayType="xsd:string[3]" xsi:type="SOAP-ENC:Array"> <item>last_name</item> <item>first_name</item> <item>userid</item> </v5> The web service does not like this at all and returns the following error: SOAPpy.Types.faultType: <Fault soapenv:Server.userException: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Bad types (class [Ljava.lang.Object; -> class usdjws65.ArrayOfString): > I know in Perl I had to do some special gyrations to pass the right structue for ArrayOfString to this same web service. Is there any way to force a type in Python or any other ideas on how to do this? -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
