ASMX service return List<Object>

[mrfoxbit]

Hi,
Please help me.

My service return a List. If the list has multi value then everything is OK, but the list only has 1 element, it error: Could not cast value of type '__NSDictionaryM' (0x1249380) to 'NSArray' (0x124918c)

And, how to handle service method return a object, and service return bool value?

Thank you.

From a SOAP message (XML) is hard to know if it return a single value or an array, this is possible only with processing the WSDL definition, but this takes a long processing time for each request, many many seconds for each request. The our framework only processes the response message, if it contains one element then it is considered as a dictionary or string, if it contains more consecutive elements, with the same identifier, it is considered as an array.

When you get the value through the key, and it can return a single value or multi values, we recommend using the method name isKindOfClass, like below:

    id obj = [responseDict objectForKey:@"my-key"]; // generic object
    if ([obj isKindOfClass:[NSDictionary class]]) {
        NSDictionary *dictValue = (NSDictionary*)obj;
        // TODO: your code here
    } else if ([obj isKindOfClass:[NSArray class]]) {
        NSArray *arrayValues = (NSArray*)obj;
        // TODO: your code here
    }

Thank you for your help. I solved it.

I have a another problem.

My code is:
soap.setValue(objA, forKey: "obja")
soap.setValue(lstobjB, forKey: "lstobjb")

My service is:

publich bool TestService(objA obja, List lstobjb)
{
// Do something...
//
return true;
}

I can receive obja , but lstobjb.count is alway return 0

How can i fix it? And how receive bool value from service

Thank you

try to set the property named responseHeader = true or/and retrievesAttributes = true

[mrfoxbit]

I did, but It's not work

[priore]

You use Cocoapods ? I apologize, the last podspec had not been pushed to cocoapods, you try again now with pod update.

[mrfoxbit]

I just download latest release (v.1.22).
If i set the property named responseHeader = true, i can get bool value return by valueForKeyPath.
But list object for service param still not work

[priore]

you can give us the URL of the service, and the method and the test credentials if required, so that we can test for you?

I deleted my comment for security

we not did understand the problem, but this is a sample code:

        // quotation
        let quotation = ["QuotationID": "1234",
            "FullName": "yourname",
            "Email": "youemail",
            "Phone": "yourphone"
            ] // TODO: complete with other key/values
        soap.setValue(quotation, forKey: "quotation")
        // single products
        let product = ["ProductID": "1234",
            "ProductCode": "code1234",
            "ProductName": "prod-name"
            ] // TODO: complete with other key/values
        // products
        let lstproducts = [product, product, product]
        soap.defaultTagName = "Product" // BUG: not work for array
        soap.setValue(lstproducts, forKey: "lstproducts")
        // soap request
        soap.actionNamespaceSlash = true
        soap.responseHeader = true;
        soap.requestURL("http://www.b.....d.com/webservices/service-name.asmx", soapAction: "http://www.b....d.com/SendMail_Quotation",
            completeWithDictionary: { (statusCode: Int, dict : [NSObject: AnyObject]!) -> Void in
                let result:Dictionary = dict as Dictionary
                NSLog("%@", result)
            }, failWithError: { (error : NSError!) -> Void in
                NSLog("%@", error)
        })

note: during this test we found a bug that will fixes within one to two days, sorry.

[mrfoxbit]

Thank you very much for your fast response. I will wait for the fix.

[mrfoxbit]

Hi,
Thank you very much for fix it very fast. But it still not work.

P/s: method that return a single boolean value is very good

[priore]

which the error ? you can send us a complete example ? (you can use the email)

us with the previous example we did have a response from the server, but the parameters are invalid and the server responded with an error message (invalid xml), look below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
    <soap:Body>
        <soap:Fault>
            <faultcode>soap:Client</faultcode>
            <faultstring>Server was unable to read request. ---&gt; There is an error in XML document (1, 418). ---&gt; Guid should contain 32 digits with 4 dashes (xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx).</faultstring>
            <detail/>
        </soap:Fault>
    </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Hi,

I have a new webmethod: TestCountList

   [WebMethod(Description = "Test SOAPEngine")]
    public int TestCountList(List<Product> lstproducts)
    {
        return lstproducts.Count;
    }

   public class Product
  {
    public Guid ProductID { get; set; }
    public string ProductCode { get; set; }
    public string ProductName { get; set; }
    public string ProductDesc { get; set; }
    public string ProductThumb { get; set; }
    public string ProductImage { get; set; }
    public int InputPrice { get; set; }
    public int OutputPrice { get; set; }
    public int Quantity { get; set; }
    public int IsOutOfStock { get; set; }
    public bool IsHot { get; set; }
    public bool IsNew { get; set; }
    public string CatalogueID { get; set; }
    public bool IsDeleted { get; set; }
    public byte[] ProductThumbByte { get; set; }
    public byte[] ProductImageByte { get; set; }
    public int ViewCount { get; set; }
    public int FavouriteCount { get; set; }
    public string FlickrID { get; set; }
    public int TotalPage { get; set; }
    public int TotalRecord { get; set; }
    public bool IsSelected { get; set; }
    public string ProductNoteMail { get; set; }
}

This is my example

class ViewController: UIViewController {

override func viewDidLoad() {
    super.viewDidLoad()
    // Do any additional setup after loading the view, typically from a nib.

    let soap = SOAPEngine()
    soap.userAgent = "SOAPEngine"
    soap.licenseKey = "eJJD..../FA=="

    let product = Product(ProductID: "5ba6d7c4-d89f-7d99-df0c-618d9cd60729",
                          ProductCode: "",
                          ProductName: "Test",
                          ProductThumb: "ThumbPath",
                          ProductImage: "ImagePath")

    let lstproducts = [product, product, product]
    soap.defaultTagName = "Product"
    soap.setValue(lstproducts, forKey: "lstproducts")

    soap.actionNamespaceSlash = true
    soap.responseHeader = true;
    soap.requestURL("http://www.b....d.com/webservices/service_name.asmx",
        soapAction: "http://www.b....d.com/TestCountList",
        completeWithDictionary: { (statusCode: Int, dict : [NSObject: AnyObject]!) -> Void in

            //let result:Dictionary = dict as Dictionary

            print(statusCode)                  // statusCode = 200

            print(soap.integerValue())    //  But lstproducts.Count = 0

        }, failWithError: { (error : NSError!) -> Void in

            print(error)
    })

}

override func didReceiveMemoryWarning() {
    super.didReceiveMemoryWarning()
    // Dispose of any resources that can be recreated.
}

}

class Product : NSObject {

var ProductID:String = "";
var ProductCode:String = "";
var ProductName:String = "";
var ProductThumb:String = "";
var ProductImage:String = "";
var OutputPrice:Int = 0;
var IsOutOfStock:Int = 0;
var IsHot:Bool = false;
var IsNew:Bool = false;
var FlickrID:String = "";
var ViewCount:Int = 0;
var FavouriteCount:Int = 0;
var ProductNoteMail:String = "";
var TotalPage:Int = 0;
var TotalRecord:Int = 0;

init(ProductID:String, ProductCode:String, ProductName:String, ProductThumb:String,ProductImage:String)
{
    self.ProductID = ProductID;
    self.ProductCode = ProductCode;
    self.ProductName = ProductName;
    self.ProductThumb = ProductThumb;
    self.ProductImage = ProductImage;
}

}

Today we release a fix that resolves retrieval of the class name when you pass a user-object.

[mrfoxbit]

Perfect. Thank you very much.

Bug fixed, great library and great job.
