Advanced webservices

[John-ModernEarth]

Hi, I'm trying to consume a SOAP web service that requires complex datatypes. The relevant portions of the WSDL:

<s:element name="SearchHotels">
<s:complexType>
<s:sequence>
<s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="sDestination" type="s:string"/>
<s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="sHotelCityName" type="s:string"/>
<s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="sHotelLocationName" type="s:string"/>
<s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="sHotelName" type="s:string"/>
<s:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="dtCheckIn" type="s:date"/>
<s:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="dtCheckOut" type="s:date"/>
<s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="roomsInformation" type="tns:ArrayOfRoomInfo"/>
<s:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="maxPrice" type="s:decimal"/>
<s:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="starLevel" type="s:decimal"/>
<s:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="fAvailableOnly" type="s:boolean"/>
</s:sequence>
</s:complexType>
</s:element>

<s:complexType name="ArrayOfRoomInfo">
<s:sequence>
<s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="RoomInfo" nillable="true" type="tns:RoomInfo"/>
</s:sequence>
</s:complexType>

<s:complexType name="RoomInfo">
<s:sequence>
<s:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="AdultsNum" type="s:int"/>
<s:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="ChildNum" type="s:int"/>
<s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="ChildAges" type="tns:ArrayOfInt"/>
</s:sequence>
</s:complexType>

How do I construct these sequence sections? It's possible to have more than once occurrance of an element with the same name e.g. RoomInfo so I can't see how I'd use a Struct here?

I've tried this:

hotelservice = CreateObject("webservice", " http://....?wsdl");

room1 = StructNew();
room1.AdultsNum = 1;
room1.ChildNum = 0;

ages = StructNew();
ages.ChildAge = 0;
room1.ChildAges = ages;

roomsinfo = StructNew();
roomsinfo.RoomInfo = room1;

ret = hotelservice.SearchHotels( sDestination = "NYC",
sHotelCityName = "",
sHotelLocationName = "",
sHotelName = "",
dtCheckIn = CreateDate(2007,09,09),
dtCheckOut = CreateDate(2007,09,10),
roomsInformation = roomsinfo,
maxPrice = 999.0,
starLevel = 2.0,
fAvailableOnly = true );

Any help would be welcome!

Can you also post the ArrayOfInt type? It looks like you are on the right track, but you seem to be missing an array:

<cfscript>
stArgs = StructNew();
stArgs.sDestination = "Nowhere";
stArgs.sHotelCityName = "Las Vegas";
stArgs.sHotelLocationName = "Hotel Location Name";
stArgs.sHotelName = "Hotel Name";
stArgs.dtCheckIn = CreateDate(2007, 09, 09);
stArgs.dtCheckOut = CreateDate(2007, 09,10);
stArgs.maxPrice = "999.0";
stArgs.starLevel = "2.0";
stArgs.fAvailableOnly = true;
stAgs.roomsInformation = ArrayNew(1);
stAgs.roomsInformation[1] = StructNew();
stAgs.roomsInformation[1].AdultsNum = 1;
stAgs.roomsInformation[1].ChildNum = 0;

<cfscript>

<cfinvoke webservice=" http://...?wsdl" method="SearchHotels" argumentscollection="#stAgs#" returnvariable="sResult">

Hope that helps.
