Formating web service array

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I am about to model the following scenario:

R/3 (RFC) -> XI -> Web service (SOAP)

I have imported web service definition into IR. Web service takes the only argument of type xsd:array ... I've got an example (written in PHP language), how to format web service argument.

define('TRANSACTION_TYPE', 'xxxx')            

$data = array(
  'header' => array(
           'hdr_id_inv' =>
           'hdr_msg_timestamp' =>
           'hdr_company_code' =>
           ),
  'status' => array(
           array(
                 'item_result_type' =>
                 'item_message_class' =>
                 'item_message_number' =>
                 'item_message_text' =>
                 ),
           array(
                 'item_result_type' =>
                 'item_message_class' =>
                 'item_message_number' =>
                 'item_message_text' =>
                 ),
           array(
                 'item_result_type' =>
                 'item_message_class' =>
                 'item_message_number' =>
                 'item_message_text' =>
                 ),
           ),
  'confirmation' => array(
           'cnf_document_number' =>
           'cnf_payment_amount' =>
           ),
);

$trn_options = array(
  'userdata' => $data,                         // data
  't_type' => TRANSACTION_TYPE,    // transaction type
);

The problem is, how to format this array in interface mapping ... sender interface contains data elements taken from RFC import, receiver interface contains the only element of type xsd:array ... I should format all sender interface elements into the only element of receiver interface (i.e. insert sender's elements into receiver's array) ...

IS THIS POSSIBLE IN INTEGRATION REPOSITORY (interface mapping) ?

Thanks for replies.

As far as I know, the array elements are not supported by XI.

Tried to look up the SOAP adapter FAQ but there isn't anything with regards to the array element though.

In this link, it states that WSDLs to be imported into XI must not contain the soapenc:Array types, because they use the <xsd:any> xsd type which is not supported by XI.

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/43/ce993b45cb0a85e10000000a1553f6/frameset.htm

For XI generated WSDLs, these array tags won't be created whatsoever.
