I've seen this question asked multiple times in multiple ways and
haven't seen a complete answer:
Q: When using soapencoding for message Parameters, how does one write
data as an XML attribute? I.E:
<foo bar="rab">oof</foo>
The expected answer is "write your own Serializer/Deserializer class"
which makes complete sense. However, I haven't seen any examples of
how to use the encoding helper classes (like SoapEncUtils) to actually
do the encoding/decoding.
All the "sample" serializers immediately call nsStack.pushScope()
followed shortly thereafter by SoapEncUtils.generateStructureHeader().
>From what I can tell, SoapEncUtils.generateStructureHeader() closes
the XML element before and attributes could be written.
Does this mean that one has to replicate the functionality of
generateStructureHeader in a custom serializer to allow XML attributes
to be included in the encoding? Seems like a lot of extra work. Or
am I completely missing something and adding attributes into the
encoding is trivial?
