NuSOAP: How do you pass in a complex type to a client utilizing SOAP Request?

The following WSDL SOAP Request "ReceiverMenuDeleteRequest" requires the element named "Authentication" and "TID".

With "TID"; I believe I can pass in a string value like:

Code:

array('TID'=>'06000C18')

However, how do I pass values to the complexType "Authentication"?

Currently, I have it set-up as:

Code:

$Authentication = array('RqstAppl'=>'CMDLINK', 'RqstApplVers'=>'1.00', 'Client'=>'KBREQ', 'User'=>'OPSSUPPORT', 'Pswd'=>'ENCRYPTED');

$result = $client->call('ReceiverMenuDeleteRequest', array('TID'=>'06000C18', 'Authentication'=>$Authentication));

The errors I keep receiving are:

Quote:

1. Response Envelope: Error: HTTP Error: socket read of headers timed out

2. My Request SOAP envelope is not filled in:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:si="http://soapinterop.org/xsd" xmlns:ns6="http://soap.dtn.com">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns6:ReceiverMenuDeleteRequest xmlns:ns6="http://soap.dtn.com">
<ReceiverMenuDeleteRequest xsi:nil="true"/>
</ns6:ReceiverMenuDeleteRequest>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Below is a snippet of the WSDL and the full PHP code that I use to call the WSDL.

Thank you for reading this post.

WSDL:

Code:

<xsd:complexType name="Authentication">
	<xsd:sequence>
	<!-- Request Application -->
	<xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="1" name="RqstAppl" type="xsd:string"/>
	<!-- Request Application Version -->
	<xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="1" name="RqstApplVers" type="xsd:string"/>
	<!-- Client using Request Application -->
	<xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="1" name="Client" type="xsd:string"/>
	<!-- Client's User using Request Application -->
	<xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="1" name="User" type="xsd:string"/>
	<!-- Client's User Password (Encrypted) -->
	<xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="1" name="Pswd" type="xsd:string"/>
	</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="ReceiverMenuDeleteRequest">
	<xsd:sequence>
		<xsd:element
			maxOccurs="1"
			minOccurs="1"
			name="AuthInfo"
			nillable="true"
			type="color1:Authentication"/>
		<xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="1" name="TID" type="xsd:string"/>
	</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

PHP:

Code:

<?
require_once('nusoap.php');

$wsdl = 'http://color-app-dev.eng.dtn.com/ColorSystemInterface.wsdl';
$client=new soapclient($wsdl, true);

$err = $client->getError();
if ($err) {
    echo '<h2>Constructor error</h2><pre>' . $err . '</pre>';
}
// Call the SOAP method
$Authentication = array('RqstAppl'=>'CMDLINK', 'RqstApplVers'=>'1.00', 'Client'=>'KBREQ', 'User'=>'OPSSUPPORT', 'Pswd'=>'ENCRYPTED');


$result = $client->call('ReceiverMenuDeleteRequest', array('TID'=>'06000C18', 'Authentication'=>$Authentication));
// Check for a fault
if ($client->fault) {
    echo '<h2>Fault</h2><pre>';
    print_r($result);
    echo '</pre>';
} else {
    // Check for errors
    $err = $client->getError();
    if ($err) {
        // Display the error
        echo '<h2>Error</h2><pre>' . $err . '</pre>';
    } else {
        // Display the result
        echo '<h2>Result</h2><pre>';
        print_r($result);
    echo '</pre>';
    }
}
echo 'Web Service: Color System Interface ReceiverMenuDeleteRequest<br>';
echo 'WSDL: '.$wsdl.'<br>';
echo 'Parameters: ';
print_r($param);
echo '<br><br>Response Envelope: ';
if(!$err = $client->getError()){
	print_r($response);
} else {
	print 'Error: '.$err;
}
// Display the request and response
echo '<h2>Request</h2>';
echo '<pre>' . htmlspecialchars($client->request, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';
echo '<h2>Response</h2>';
echo '<pre>' . htmlspecialchars($client->response, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';
// Display the debug messages
echo '<h2>Debug</h2>';
echo '<pre>' . htmlspecialchars($client->debug_str, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';
?>

Your code looks fine.

Creating a sub-array indexed for the "complex" type is correct.

What version of NuSOAP are you using?

You may want to go to sourceforge.net and checkout the lastest version of nusoap.php from CVS.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/nusoap/

(sourceforge.net is down for maintainance right now, or I would give you the full link to the CVS)

UnseenForces: Thank you for the feedback.

I am using version nusoap.php,v 1.81.

I will check out the latest version of nusoap.php from CVS.

Have you tried to create a sub-array for the 'complex' type?

Yes. I test all my SOAP services with a generic NuSOAP client that uses an index array for the "complex" type.

Just make sure all the names/capitals are the same an it works great.

Hi all,

I am having a similar issue passing in the array to NuSOAP as well.

Came across Scott Nicol's tutorial indicating the same method but the XML packet still shows an "empty" parameter.

Here is a snippet of the WSDL in question :

<xsd:complexType name="ArrayOfSMSContent">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="sms_content" nillable="true" type="tns:SMSContent" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="SMSContent">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="content" nillable="false" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="ucp_data_coding_id" nillable="false" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="ucp_msg_class" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="ucp_msg_type" type="xsd:string" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

<xsd:element name="SmsMt">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="status" type="xsd:int" />
<xsd:element name="notification_ind" type="xsd:int" />
<xsd:element name="sms_contents" nillable="false" type="tns:ArrayOfSMSContent" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>

My PHP code is similar to the original post :

$sms_content = array('content' => 'test vsdb', 'ucp_data_coding_id' => '', 'ucp_msg_class' => '', 'ucp_msg_type' => '3');

$result = $client->call('SmsMt', array('status' => '1', 'notification_ind' => '0', array('sms_contents' => $sms_content)));

Server reply is there is no valid "sms_contents" parameter. XML packet shows :

<sms_contents></sms_content></sms_contents>

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks you.

Hi all,

I accidently solved it

by declaring an array of an array and plug it in the call() above :

$sms_content2 = array('content' => 'test vsdb', 'ucp_data_coding_id' => '', 'ucp_msg_class' => '', 'ucp_msg_type' => '3');

$sms_content = array('sms_content' => $sms_content2);

$result = $client->call('SmsMt', array('status' => '1', 'notification_ind' => '0', array('sms_contents' => $sms_content)));

Now, to write a web service to capture the response of the above call...
