Define input to web service

[yii_king (Micho23)]

I started using Yii this week and think that it’s working great!

I have created a web service which is working. It takes input via the controller and saves it with the model class.

However, I want the input array called $datalist to be more specific. That is, I want the generated WSDL to show the exact structure that should be sent in as input like below:

<username></username>

<password></password>

<datalist>

<id></id>

<name></name>

</datalist>

Right now it will only show datalist as an input parameter, and not the structure with id and name. The input parameters in my controller looks like below. How can I define it so that the WSDL is generated with these?

/**

 * @param string the username


 * @param string the password


 * @param array with values sent from client


 * @return array the status


 * @soap


 */


public function updateMeter($username, $password, $datalist)


{

I finally solved it. The solution is to point the input array in the doc comments towards a class:

/**

 * @param string the username for the webservice


 * @param string the password for the webservice


 * @param NameOfYourClass


 * @return array the status


 * @soap

**/

public function updatePlants($username, $password, $datalist)


{


// The parameters in $datalist are defined in the class


}

Then in your model or other class (NameOfYourClass), you need to define each attribute that should be generated within <datalist></datalist> . Example:

/**


 * @var datetime timestamp for the generated message


 * @soap


 */


public $timeStamp;

Hope that this helps someone.
