[dev] wsdl complextypes

[Vijay Mahrra]

Hello John,

Thanks very much for the pointers on how to implement complex types.  Our
custom module is interfacing with a client that also uses the AXIS API with
WSDL2Java (and in future with PEAR SOAP).

The horde application we wrote was for an ADSL coverage tool which took in an
array of phone numbers and returned a formatted list of results for numbers
here in Spain.

Our 'coverage' module api file looked looked like this in the end FYI

$_types['coverageResults'] = array(
    'number'   => 'string',
    'initial_range' => 'string',
    'final_range' => 'string',
    'miga' => 'string',
    'final_range' => 'string',
    'miga' => 'string',
    'central' => 'string',
    'demarcacion' => 'string',
    'services' => 'string',
);

$_types['coverageResultsArray'] = array(
    array('item' => '{urn:horde}coverage_coverageResults')
);

$_services['check'] = array(
  'args' => array('numbers' => '{urn:horde}stringArray'),
  'checkperms' => false,
  'type' => '{urn:horde}coverage_coverageResultsArray'
);

function _coverage_check($numbers) {
// code that returns an array of results
    return array($return);
}

Hope someone else finds this useful in future.  We don't expect as much
traffic with this tool as you have, but it's useful to know the capabilities.

We are also working on a horde module with soap interface that interfaces with
RT, creating via email and retrieving via the RT database is also using
complexTypes and it would be interesting to hear if anyone has done anything
similar.
