Adding 'nil' parameters

[Sergiodiaz53]

Hi,

Because of my web service I need to send the nil parameters like this:

< q0:data xsi:nil="true"/ >

instead of

< q0:data> < /q0:data >

I have been looking in your code and trying to do some changes in it without results. Could you tell me where I should start modifying? I thought it was in the 'toString()', this is what you send to the ws, right?

Thanks in advance.

I am afraid you message lost some of the more important parts...

are you specifying your data as XML or JSON? For JSON when you have:

{ value: null }

this will be send as:

<value nil="true"></value>

Note the null is specified WITHOUT quotes!

Sorry. I fixed it.

I'm creating my data using a function(SOAPObject). I'm adding it with .addParamter, like this:

var input = execute.newChild("q0:inputList") input.addParameter("q0:data", inputList[x][0])

inputlist is: var parameter = new Array("P1", "P2", "P3","P4", null, null, "P7", "P8" ) var inputList = new Array(parameter);

may I combine create data with function and JSON?

Thanks.

The short solution for you is to do something like:

if (inputList[x][0] !== null) {
   input.addParameter("q0:data", inputList[x][0])
} else {
   input.newChild("q0:data").attr("xsi:nil","true");
}

In the long term I think I could do a check like this in .addParameter() but then it should also done in .val(value) and that might need some extra testing...

I hope the solution above works for now?

Perfectly! Thank you very much!!

Since I was already busy writing a reply to your other issue I continued in the same vibe and fixed this issue too!

$.soap({
    data: function(SOAPObject) {
        var x = new SOAPObject('test');
        x.addParameter('val','1').addParameter('null', null).addParameter('undefined');

console.log(x)
console.log(x.find('val').val())
console.log(x.find('null').val())
console.log(x.find('undefined').val())

    }
});

will produce on the console:

<test><val>1</val><null xsi:nil="true"></null><undefined></undefined></test> { typeOf="SOAPObject", name="test", ns={...}, more...}
1
null
undefined
