| You create a normal WOComponent, say MyComponent, but instead of putting HTML in the MyComponent.html you put XML in it. Return this component as result of the DirectAction call. That's all.
E.g. MyComponent.html file content: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?> <result> <approvalcode><webobject name=approvalcode></webobject></approvalcode> <approvalmsg><webobject name=approvalmsg></webobject></approvalmsg> </result>
MyComponent.wod file content: approvalcode: WOString { value = nameOfMyApprovalCodeMethod; } approvalmsg: WOString { value = nameOfMyApprovalMessageMethod; }
Hope this helps.

I have a vendor whose application needs to query our db. We have established http as a transport standard, and I have open rights to design whatever WO.app I want on the backend.
Ideally the 3rd party wants to submit a URL to our application, for example something like http://mydomain.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/myapp.woa/wa/myaction?uid=joe?pwd=1234
and in return I’m to send back an XML document with elements like ‘approvalcode=1’, ‘approvalmsg=here is some text’.
What is the easiest way to return an XML doc?
Naturally I’ve poked around with the ‘Calculator’ example of WebServices; but this may mandate that they design their application to be a ‘consumer’ when all they may really want to do is parse a resulting XML document w/out a lot of fuss.
Thanks for any guidance,
