TABLE-HANDLE (dynamic temp-table) parameters

For TABLE-HANDLE parameters:

For every Web service object containing a method that passes a TABLE-HANDLE parameter, the WSDL contains a <TableHandleParam> element defined as a <complexType> definition. Therefore, a TableHandleParam class is created for every client object which contains a method that passes a TABLE-HANDLE parameter. For example:

public class TableHandleParam {     private org.apache.axis.message.MessageElement [ ] _any;     ...}

For input TABLE-HANDLE parameters, the client must create a TableHandleParam object, consisting of a MessageElement array containing the XML Schema and data for the TABLE-HANDLE. For output TABLE-HANDLE parameters, the client must parse the XML Schema and data in the MessageElement array.

Table B–5 lists the typical data type mappings for TABLE-HANDLE columns between Progress 4GL and Java.
