It's not exactly clear what you are trying to achieve here. Based on the
output you want to send it looks like plain XML and not a soap message. Also
WSMakeStubs should be pointed to a WSDL URL to generate classes that you can
use to send and receive SOAP messages.
Additionally, WSCore de-serializes all complex types as NSDictionaries so it
is up to you to decode these into your own model objects. WSCore also
expects NSDictionaries with the 2 keys that identify the class and namespace
(off the top of my head) so it is up to you to encode your model objects
into NSDictionaries.
If you only have a few web services methods you need to implement then this
isn't too bad but if this is a big project I'd suggest looking for an
alternative web services framework. Take a look at gSOAP

Subject: Help with objectiveC and soap using WSCore
Hi,
again I could really use the list's help Im working on a client
written in cocoa and struggle with making valid soap calls using WSCore:
Ill try to make myself more clear
> I got this output to be made (simplified here)
> <order>
> <orderposition>blabla</orderposition>
> <orderposition>blabla</orderposition>
> <orderposition>blabla</orderposition>
> <orderposition>blabla</orderposition>
> <name>lala<name>
> </order>
Now, WSMakeStubs takes a CFTypeRef (so a void*) as Order so I could
pass a custom object but I pass a dictionary with the params because
that'll get serialized all by itself. The Problem is I cannot add
serveral "orderposition" objects in a dictionary. I tried to add an
NSArray to the Dictionary but that'll not produce the output above but:
> <order>
> <array length="4">
> <0>
> <orderposition>blabla</orderposition>
> </0>
> <1>
> <orderposition>blabla</orderposition>
> </1>
> <2>
> <orderposition>blabla</orderposition>
> </2>
> <3>
> <orderposition>blabla</orderposition>
> </3>
> </array>
> <name>lala<name>
> </order>
The result of soapCalls made via WSInvocation are all NSDictionaries
with handle multiple elements in the first form just fine - giving me
back an NSArray (which led me to believe I should fill the Parameters
dictionary with one too!)
Im not yet sure I did it right and therefore if it is a bug. Im quite
the NOOB when it comes to WSCore and hope it is my fault - then its
easier to remedy :) BUT if it is a bug I'd be happy to report it. :)
I also read the docs and know I can add a Callback for my objects...
but then I'd have to serialize all values in the custom
orderPositions (which would be an array) myself, no? So ... i;d have
to serialize every orderPosition and it's values (which could again
be ComplexTypes)
==> I'd end up having to do almost all serializing myself then!?
Regards,
Dom
