Re: How to access/parse an associative/hashed array as responce using mozilla's SOAP client in javascript from the SOAPPropertyBag?

Given that you're using an rpc-style of exchange, you'll hopefully 
find a way to get at the associative array using the built-in decoding.

But as a last resort you can always use xpath to grab what you need 
out of the soap xml response - something like the code below.

var doc = soapresponse.message;

var query = 
"/soap:Envelope/soap:Body/ns1:getConfedJoinTreeResponse/ns1:return/ns1:item";

var resultType = XPathResult.ORDERED_NODE_ITERATOR_TYPE;

var nsResolver = null;
// you probably need a better nsResolver function, see:
// http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/DOM:document.evaluate

var result = doc.evaluate(query, doc, nsResolver, resultType, null);

try {
   var node = result.iterateNext();

   while (node)
   {
     // each <item> node has a <key> and <value> child
     // you can populate an associative array here
   }
   catch(e) {
     dump("exception:" + e);
   }
}
