Support Question
Hello!
This might be a dumb question, I am not super familiar with SOAP requests. I am testing around with this client and using the wizard to automatically set up my classmap and client.
I am facing the following problem with the decoding of responses. I am trying to decode into the specific class/subclass based on the xsi:type. However, my response is always defaulting to the parent class and it does not include all the properties returned by the response.
Here is a mockup of the problem:
Given a XML response as such:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<S:Header/>
<S:Body>
<ns2:Response xmlns:ns2="<URI>">
<return>
<responses xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="ns2:A">
<foo>foo</foo>
</responses>
<responses xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:type="ns2:B">
<foo>foo</foo>
<bar>bar</bar>
</responses>
</return>
</ns2:Response>
</S:Body>
</S:Envelope>
And the following class structure:
class Response
{
protected ?Return $return = null;
}
class Return
{
/**
* @var null|array<int<0,max>, A>
*/
protected ?array $responses = null;
}
class A
{
protected string $foo;
}
class B extends A
{
protected string $bar;
}
I was expecting that after decoding, I'd get an object like this:
Response {
-return: Return {
-responses: array:2 [
0 => A {
-foo: "foo"
}
1 => B {
-foo: "foo"
-bar: "bar"
}
]
}
}
However, the responses are always mapped to the super class and I am losing the bar property:
Response {
-return: Return {
-responses: array:2 [
0 => A {
-foo: "foo"
}
1 => A {
-foo: "foo"
}
]
}
}
I am not sure if this is a common problem that can be fixed with some configuration, or if this particular SOAP response using xsi:type requires me to write a custom Decoder.
I'd appreciate any type of guidance! Thanks for your time!
