Release 10.1A: OpenEdge Development:
Web Services

Managing complex data

Wherever you encounter complex data, for a Web service, you have two basic options for accessing and managing the data, depending on the documentation generated by the WSDL Analyzer:

As a Progress 4GL temp-table or ProDataSet.
As a serialized XML string.
As individual simple data types.

For more information on how the Analyzer determines the options you can use, see the sections on complex data in Chapter 8, " Analyzing WSDL for Progress 4GL Access to Web Services."

Note: The examples in this section are not available on the Documentation and Samples CD or Progress Documentation Web site.
