unable to pass an input parameter to a Web Service (object : array of strings)

Hi all,



I need to pass to a web service an input parameter whose type is Object, made of a array of strings.

TestComplete detects it when the webservice has been defined. However I am not able to success in the call to this webservice method.



I have attached the webservice definition as in TestComplete (file: webservicedefinition.jpg)



In my script I have this:





    myobject=CreateVariantArray2(0,1)

    myobject(0)="ORDCON_G"

    

    Call WebServices.screen.GetList(Project.Variables.idSesion, -1, myobject, null, -1, null, listaXML)



It does return the following error:



SOAP-ENV:Client
Badly formed SOAP Message
ERROR #6254: Tag expected, XML input, ORDCON_G, is not in proper format as child of pobjScreenCodeList (ending at line 2 character 330).
Unit: "tmpRaul" Line: 24 Column: 5.<SOAP-ENV:Fault
xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

 <faultcode>SOAP-ENV:Client</faultcode>

 <faultstring>Badly
formed SOAP Message</faultstring>

 <detail>

  <error
xmlns="http://tempuri.org">

   <text>ERROR #6254: Tag expected, XML
input, ORDCON_G, is not in proper format as child of pobjScreenCodeList (ending
at line 2 character 330).</text>

 
</error>

 </detail>

</SOAP-ENV:Fault>

Unit: "tmpRaul"
Line: 24 Column: 5.



---------------------



could anybody explain how could I pass an array of strings?

the problem could be I am passing an array of variants and this is not understood by the server?



Regards,



Raul

    Hello Raul,



    According to the screen shot, you are expected to generate the parameter value in this way:

    Set TypeFactory = WebServices.screen.TypeFactory 

    Set CodeListItems = TypeFactory.ArrayOfpobjScreenCodeListItemString 

    Set CodeListItems.pobjScreenCodeListItem = BuiltIn.CreateVariantArray(0, 0) 

    CodeListItems.pobjScreenCodeListItem(0) = "ORDCON_G"



    Call WebServices.screen.GetList(Project.Variables.idSesion, -1, CodeListItems, null, -1, null, listaXML)


    Does this work?

    Hi Alex,

    I have tested what you suggest and I have an error in following line:



      Set CodeListItems.pobjScreenCodeListItem = Builtin.CreateVariantArray(0, 0)



    Error message is:



    An exception occurred in the "tmp_raul" unit at line 12:
    Error de Microsoft VBScript en tiempo de ejecución
    Se requiere un objeto: 'CodeListItems.pobjScreenCodeListItem'An exception occurred in the "tmp_raul" unit at line 12:

    Error de Microsoft
    VBScript en tiempo de ejecución

    Se requiere un objeto:
    'CodeListItems.pobjScreenCodeListItem'





    I think the problem is that I am assigning an Array of Variants to an Array of Strings.

    I have tried:

      Set CodeListItems.pobjScreenCodeListItem = aqConvert.VarToStr(Builtin.CreateVariantArray(0, 0))

    and obviously it has not worked.



    Do you have any idea of what could I do?



    Thanks in advance,



    Raul

    Hi ,



    I am also working with webservices and passing array as input parameters.



    Plz see the sanpshot, When i pass value to the array it is not visible in the watch list while debugging.



    Why so happening, Am i using the  the write approach to work with array of objects.



    Thanks and Regards

    Hi Paramveer,





    Thanks for reporting the issue. We have found its cause, and we will fix the problem in a future TestComplete version.





    To see the values during debugging, right-click the "To" element in the Watch List panel, and select "Inspect..." - you will see the properties, and their values.
