Never mind. Bad eyesight (and bad copy/paste). My 'case' data structure
actually had a capital S where all I saw was a lower case s: 'commentS'
vs 'comments'. When I fixed that, it worked as expected.
--------
This is on a v7r3 LPAR. I had a working REST service to add data from a
web form to a lab repair table. It worked fine. Then they wanted to add
several lines of comments. My thought was the XML would look like this:
<case>
<name>Customer Name</name>
<addr1>123 Main St</addr1>
<city>Springfield</city>
<state>WK</state>
<zip>12345</zip>
<email>homers@xxxxxxxxxxx</email>
<sku>A1234</sku>
<proddesc>whatchamacallit</proddesc>
<serialnbr></serialnbr>
<phone>8005551212</phone>
<comments>
<line>line 1</line>
<line>line 2</line>
</comments>
</case>
and the RPGLE data structure would look like this:
d AddCase pr
d pCaseInfo const
likeds(case) input
d pAddResult likeds(AddResult) output
d case ds qualified template
d name 25a
d addr1 25a
d addr2 25a
d addr3 25a
d city 16a
d state 2a
d zip 10a
d email 100a
d sku 10a
d serialnbr 8a
d proddesc 30a
d phone 10a
d comments likeds(commentlines)
d commentlines ds qualified template
d line_LENGTH 10i 0
d line 79a dim(3)
I used IWS to create the web service and tested it. There are no errors,
however, the comment "line" array is all blanks, although the
line_LENGTH variable contains 3.
What is IWS doing that I don't understand?
