Hi,
I tries to create SOAP service for the first time, but has encountered the problem of answer from the SOAP service.
The service should return the data in this form:
But in fact, it returns the result as CDATA. I use SoapUI for tests. OE 11.7.3 Win64. PAS4OE as web server.
I can not understand what I'm doing wrong.
Maybe I do not know something, and in fact there is no mistake and I can not get an answer like on the first picture?
I attached the server procedure.

I will be grateful for any clue.
Regards,
Valeriy
I don't use ProxyGen, but I don't see a way of tellig it to interpret the LONGCHAR as a "structure".
My bet will be that you need to use a ProDataset or Temp-Table as a return parameter in order to be able to return an XML structure.
ProxyGen *should* have a way of telling it to use a CHAR/LONGCHAR parameter as raw XML, but...
Having the WSDL interpreted as CHARACTER is normal, because SOAP only has 'string' type, it does not has a 'longstring', so your LONGCHAR becmoes a 'string' in WSDL which is interpreted (when read) as a CHARACTER.
I consume SOAP services with ABL using ABL facilities, but when publishing services never use ABL facilities but our own implementation of SOAP, so can't help much.
Valeriy, first of all. I'm not a Progress developer. I've just installed the toolkit and going to play around with it. I am a .NET developer and have worked on many services over the years. I have seen this before so it is common to all languages. Curious if your output from service is "string" or a collection of serialized (marked usually by attribute at class or field) Payment object?
I haven't done what you are doing, but it seems to me that the problem lies in the service definition (WSDL).
Apparently you have defined the OutParms as a string, at it should by a ComplexType, with the intended internal structure.
The procedure you share seems ok.
Hi David,
Thank you for your reply!
Maybe I'm making the wrong settings in ProxyGenerator?
I do the following:
Make procedure as non-persistent
Then customize it
Then generate wsdl
Then make wsdldoc
bprowsdldoc DepoPaymentVal.wsdl
And here I see a certain strangeness...
In my procedure, I define the output parameter outParms as LONGCHAR
DEFINE OUTPUT PARAMETER outParms AS LONGCHAR NO-UNDO.
But in the description of WSDL it looks like CHARACTER.
Maybe a reason in this? Did I do something wrong when generating wsdl?

I will try to use ProDataSet.
