Duplicate elements in soapbody

[jduhamel]

Hi, Thanks for the help earlier. I'm trying to figure out how to get the soap body to handle duplicate elements. like.

 <createAccount> 
   <param>newuser@domain.dom</param> 
   <key>TextMailbox</key> 
   <param> 
     <subKey key="RealName">John Doe</subKey> 
     <subKey key="Password">soappass</subKey> 
   </param> 
 </createAccount> 

I find it's difficult to get duplicate param's inserted since it's a hash. Should I do this manually?

hey joe,

you can use arrays for duplicate elements. it's very natural. for example:

{ :key => "TextMailbox",
  :param => [
    "newuser@domain.com",
    { :subKey => ["John Doe", "soappass"]}
  ]
}

but there's a problem with the attributes of your subKey tags. normally to assign attributes to hash values, you could do:

{ :subKey => "John Doe", :attributes! => { :subKey => { :key => "RealName" } } }
# translation: <subKey key="RealName">John Doe</subKey>

currently i fear this doesn't work for duplicate elements and i'm already thinking about how this could be fixed. for now, you could use builder to do something like:

xml = Builder::XmlMarkup.new
xml.tag! :subKey, { :key => "RealName" }, "John Doe"
xml.tag! :subKey, { :key => "Password" }, "soappass"

{ :key => "TextMailbox",
  :param => [
    "newuser@domain.com",
    xml.target!
  ]
}

btw. you can experiment with this by calling to_soap_xml on a hash (try irb). it's a core extension that comes with savon.

added support for this to the dev branch: http://github.com/rubiii/savon/commit/e8dd4fea1d8ab4d0d451fdfa254960c9a749b921

with the next release, you will be able to do:

{ :key => "TextMailbox",
  :param => [
    "newuser@domain.com",
    { :subKey => ["John Doe", "soappass"],
      :attributes! => { :subKey => { :key => ["RealName", "Password"] } } }
  ]
}

this will give you the exact same xml as in your original message.

I have the same problem with the array value, but inside array again i need to pass in the hash value which again gets over written

result = client.call(:sales_order_list, message: {
	sessionId: session.body[:login_response][:login_return], 
	filters: {filter: 
				{
					item: 
						{key: 'created_at', value: 
							{key: 'from', value: '2016-12-27 00:00:00'}
					}, 
					item: {key: 'created_at', value: 
						{key: 'to', value: '2016-12-27 23:59:59'}
					} 
				}
			}
		})

I tried item inside array still gets overwritten, how do i solve this?
