Problem with Array of Type

[raziel057]

It's easily to show the problem when you set a Client and Server with the same transfer object model.

For example, I have an entity used by Client (classMap) and Server:

use BeSimple\SoapBundle\ServiceDefinition\Annotation as Soap;

/**
 * @Soap\Alias("MeetingDetail")
 */
class MeetingDetail
{
    /**
     * @Soap\ComplexType("int", nillable=false)
     */
    private $id;

    /**
     * @Soap\ComplexType("string")
     */
    private $name;

    /**
     * @Soap\ComplexType("PTC\NoventoBundle\TO\ParticipantTypeDetail[]")
     */
    private $participantTypeList;

    public function getId()
    {
        return $this->id;
    }

    public function setId($id)
    {
        $this->id = $id;
    }

    public function getName()
    {
        return $this->name;
    }

    public function setName($name)
    {
        $this->name = $name;
    }

    public function getParticipantTypeList()
    {
        return $this->participantTypeList;
    }

    public function setParticipantTypeList($participantTypeList)
    {
        $this->participantTypeList = $participantTypeList;
    }
}

Service is defined on server side as:

class MobileController extends Controller
{
    /**
     * Get all usefull data related to a meeting
     *
     * @Soap\Method("getMeetingDetails")
     * @Soap\Param("userId", phpType = "int")
     * @Soap\Param("meetingId", phpType = "int")
     * @Soap\Result(phpType = "PTC\NoventoBundle\TO\MeetingDetail")
     */
    public function getMeetingDetailsAction($userId, $meetingId)
    {
        ...
        $this->get('logger')->info('--------- Meeting object Server Side ---------');
        $this->get('logger')->info(print_r($meetingDetail, true));

       return $meetingDetail;
     }

The call is made from client side as:

public function viewMeetingAction($id)
{
    $mobileApi = $this->get('besimple.soap.client.mobileapi');
    $meetingDetails = $mobileApi->getMeetingDetails($user->getId(), $id);

    $this->get('logger')->info('--------- Meeting object Client Side ---------');
    $this->get('logger')->info(print_r($meetingDetail, true));
}

Config on client side:

be_simple_soap:
    clients:
        MobileApi:
            wsdl: %ws_location%
            classmap:
                MeetingDetail: PTC\NoventoMobileBundle\TO\MeetingDetail
                ParticipantTypeDetail: PTC\NoventoMobileBundle\TO\ParticipantTypeDetail

Log of meetingDetail on server side, just before sending response:

[2014-09-02 08:47:45] app.INFO: --------- Meeting object Server Side ---------
[2014-09-02 08:47:45] app.INFO: PTC\NoventoBundle\TO\MeetingDetail Object
(
    [id:PTC\NoventoBundle\TO\MeetingDetail:private] => 1
    [name:PTC\NoventoBundle\TO\MeetingDetail:private] => Symposium annuel des osthéopathes d'Europe
    [participantTypeList:PTC\NoventoBundle\TO\MeetingDetail:private] => Array
        (
            [0] => PTC\NoventoBundle\TO\ParticipantTypeDetail Object
                (
                    [id:PTC\NoventoBundle\TO\ParticipantTypeDetail:private] => 2
                    [name:PTC\NoventoBundle\TO\ParticipantTypeDetail:private] => Delegation
                    [count:PTC\NoventoBundle\TO\ParticipantTypeDetail:private] => 4
                )

            [1] => PTC\NoventoBundle\TO\ParticipantTypeDetail Object
                (
                    [id:PTC\NoventoBundle\TO\ParticipantTypeDetail:private] => 3
                    [name:PTC\NoventoBundle\TO\ParticipantTypeDetail:private] => Media
                    [count:PTC\NoventoBundle\TO\ParticipantTypeDetail:private] => 1
                )
        )
)

Log of meetingDetail on client side when calling service:

[2014-09-02 08:47:45] app.INFO: --------- Meeting object Client Side ---------
[2014-09-02 08:47:45] app.INFO: PTC\NoventoMobileBundle\TO\MeetingDetail Object
(
    [id:PTC\NoventoMobileBundle\TO\MeetingDetail:private] => 1
    [name:PTC\NoventoMobileBundle\TO\MeetingDetail:private] => Symposium annuel des osthéopathes d'Europe
    [participantTypeList:PTC\NoventoMobileBundle\TO\MeetingDetail:private] => stdClass Object
        (
            [item] => Array
                (
                    [0] => PTC\NoventoMobileBundle\TO\ParticipantTypeDetail Object
                        (
                            [id:PTC\NoventoMobileBundle\TO\ParticipantTypeDetail:private] => 2
                            [name:PTC\NoventoMobileBundle\TO\ParticipantTypeDetail:private] => Delegation
                            [count:PTC\NoventoMobileBundle\TO\ParticipantTypeDetail:private] => 4
                        )

                    [1] => PTC\NoventoMobileBundle\TO\ParticipantTypeDetail Object
                        (
                            [id:PTC\NoventoMobileBundle\TO\ParticipantTypeDetail:private] => 3
                            [name:PTC\NoventoMobileBundle\TO\ParticipantTypeDetail:private] => Media
                            [count:PTC\NoventoMobileBundle\TO\ParticipantTypeDetail:private] => 1
                        )
                )
        )
)

As you can see an item node is added in the object.

Currently, the structure of the corresponding complexType in WSDL is:

<xsd:complexType name="ArrayOfParticipantTypeDetail">
    <xsd:sequence>
        <xsd:element name="item" type="tns:ParticipantTypeDetail" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
        </xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
<xsd:complexType name="MeetingDetail">
    <xsd:all>
        <xsd:element name="id" type="xsd:int"/>
        <xsd:element name="name" type="xsd:string"/>
        <xsd:element name="participantTypeList" type="tns:ArrayOfParticipantTypeDetail"/>
    </xsd:all>
</xsd:complexType>

But I think we should have (like with EJB3):

<xsd:complexType name="MeetingDetail">
    <xsd:all>
        <xsd:element name="id" type="xsd:int"/>
        <xsd:element name="name" type="xsd:string"/>
        <xsd:element name="participantTypeList" type="tns:ParticipantTypeDetail" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded"/>
    </xsd:all>
</xsd:complexType>
