SOAP (xsi:nil="true") XI

[Former Member]

Hi there,

I have the following problem:

I get from a webservice over SOAP a null. In xml xsi:nil="true". How can i query this value.

I created this userdefined function. But it doesn't work.

if(allocateNewUidForInternalEmployeeReturn != null || allocateNewUidForInternalEmployeeReturn !="" || allocateNewUidForInternalEmployeeReturn !=" " )

return "1"; // response ok

else return "0"; // response not ok

Have anyone an idea. THX for answers.

Regards Johann

It'd be better if u posted both input xml and desired output.

Hi Henrique,

here is my response from the webservice wtih the null value:

....

<ns1:allocateNewUidForInternalEmployeeReturn xsi:type="xsd:string" xsi:nil="true" />

</ns1:allocateNewUidForInternalEmployeeResponse>

part with correct value

<ns1:allocateNewUidForInternalEmployeeReturn xsi:type="xsd:string">V489906</ns1:allocateNewUidForInternalEmployeeReturn>

</ns1:allocateNewUidForInternalEmployeeResponse>

now my question: how can i catch the null value in the xi-mapping

Regards Johann

if( allocateNewUidForInternalEmployeeReturn.equals(""))
return "0"; // response not ok
else return "1"; // response ok

if allocateNewUidForInternalEmployeeReturn is the name of the parameter of the UDF.

To base ur logic on the nil attribute, just do it like (supposing the nil attribute is in the XSD definition of the response message):

        nil -> equalS -> not -> IfWithoutElse -> allocateNewUidForInternalEmployeeReturn 
constant(true) /                       /
allocateNewUidForInternalEmployeeReturn

Henrique.
