Webservice reply

Hi,

I’m doing my first steps on the new webservice.

I’ve seen how you can do a reply.

var reply = new Object()
reply.elementname1 = value1
reply.elementname2 = value2

So far so good. But I want to give the following as a result:

<Reply>
	<elementname1>value1</elementname1>
	<elementname2>value2</elementname2>
	<companies>
		<company>
			<id>123</id>
			<name>company123</name>
		</company>
		<company>
			<id>456</id>
			<name>company456</name>
		</company>
	</companies>
</Reply>

So I thought:

var reply = new Object()
reply.elementname1 = value1
reply.elementname2 = value2
var companies = reply.companies = new Object()
var company = companies.company = new Object()
company.id=123
company.name=company123
var company = companies.company = new Object()
company.id=456
company.name=company456

This doesn’t work. Maybe doing something with array of objects?
But how to do this then?

Martin,

What about this:

var reply = new Object()
reply.Reply = new Object()
reply.Reply.elementname1 = value1
reply.Reply.elementname2 = value2

var company1 = new Object()
company1.id = 123
company1.name = 'company123'

var company2 = new Object()
company2.id = 456
company2.name = 'company456'

reply.Reply.companies = [company1, company2]

Rob,

How do you get those company1, company2, …, companyx attached to that reply?

Or is there a way that I can use the XML-plugin of Drmaison and put final XML into an object so that it can be replied?

But that means that I need something like:

var reply = new Object()
reply.Reply = xmldocument.convertToObject()

and I don’t see such a method

Did you try my sample above?

No, the conversion from object to xml is done iside the plugin.

Whatever I try, I don’t get the XML below:

    <Reply>
       <elementname1>value1</elementname1>
       <elementname2>value2</elementname2>
       <companies>
          <company>
             <id>123</id>
             <name>company123</name>
          </company>
          <company>
             <id>456</id>
             <name>company456</name>
          </company>
       </companies>
    </Reply>

The list with companies is unlimited.

Could it be an option to generate a long string and then make it an object using:

plugins.serialize.fromJSON(String)
