AW: Newbie Help with Comples Type

There are 2 possibilities, as i found out, if anyone knows others, i´ll be
listening,too.

1. 
- Write a class that implements org.ksoap.Marshal
- overwrite readInstance() and/or writeInstance() and register()
- create a ClassMap instance.
- register your class with the ClassMap.
- call the service and the Result gets mapped autmatically to the
corresponding object.


the register Method is quite important, as it maps the concrete Object-Class
to your Marshaller.

-------------------------------------START OF
CODE--------------------------------------
class MyOwnMarshallerClass{

// ... as described overwrite writeInstance and readInstance ...

  public void register(ClassMap cm) {
    cm.addMapping
        ("myNameSpaceGoesHere", "MyObjectClassName",
         new MyObjectClassName.getClass(), this);
  }
}

Example with a SE-Transport (is similar to HttpTransport):
// Anywhere else...
   
   setransport = new HttpTransportSE("http://www.my.endpoint.url", "");
   
   // this is important, as your namespace must fit, 
   // otherwise, your mapping will not work
   setransport.setNamespace("myNameSpaceGoesHere");

   // Creating the ClassMap and registering 

   // When using 1999 XML-Schema-Namespace use 
   // constructor ClassMap(true)
   ClassMap cm = new ClassMap();
   Marshal mps = new MyOwnMarshallerClass();
   mps.register(cm);

   SoapObject rpc = new SoapObject(namespace, "myMethodNameGoesHere");

   setransport.setClassMap(cm);

   // We set debug in Transport to true so we can reach the complete 
   //responseMessage.
   setransport.debug = true;

   MyObjectClassName anInstanceOfThatClass = new MyObjectClassName();

   /* In this case an instance of MyObjectClassName gets marshalled 
   to be sent to the service.
   It expects a String as result (an XML-Schema:string)
   You can also expect any other objects by registering them and 
   casting the result.
   But you have to unmarshal (deserialize) the XML-Stuff to the 
   objects yourself in the readInstance method.
   */

   rpc.addProperty("MyObjectClassName",anInstanceOfThatClass);
   try {
     String result = (String)setransport.call(rpc);
   }
-------------------------------------END OF
CODE--------------------------------------
2.Yes, there was this second possibility;)
You can create a SoapObject and add some Parameters, that kSoap can
recognize.
Then you add the SoapObject as Parameter to the SoapObject you make the call
with.

Example?

OK.
This one is by Sebastien Petrucci, who is on the list also...

BTW: a good option is to look at old entries of the mailing list:
