fromSOAP {SSOAP}R Documentation

Converst an XML node to an S Object

Description

Convert an XML node representing a SOAP value to an S object. The different functions handle different types of SOAP objets. This also works on an XML string or filename. The fromSOAPArray supports the offset and position attributes for partially transmitted and sparse arrays. Currently, there are limits on the

Usage

fromSOAP(node, root = NULL, converters = SOAPPrimitiveConverters,
         append = TRUE, type = NULL, findReturn = TRUE, multiRefs = list())
fromSOAPStruct(node, root = NULL,
                converters = SOAPPrimitiveConverters, type = NULL, multiRefs = list())
fromSOAPArray(node, type = NULL, root = NULL,
               converters = SOAPPrimitiveConverters, 
               multiRefs = list())

Arguments

node the XML node (and sub-nodes) giving the SOAP content. The fromSOAP function works recursively, operating on sub-nodes, etc. This argument is the individual node.
root the top-most node of the XML ``document'' which is used for resolving href references within elements to other nodes. This doesn't change across the recursive calls.
converters a named-list of functions. The names are used to find the appropriate converter for a non-array or non-struct SOAP object. The name comes from the value of the ``xsi:type'' attribute or from the string ``xsd:<element name>'' where element-name is the name of the XML node. This will become more advanced in the future.
append a logical value indicating whether to merge the converters with the default SOAPPrimitiveConverters, or use them as is. This is available for covenience so that the caller doesn't have to perform the two-step merging herself.
type an optional type identifier that if not specified is computed from the xsi:type attribute of the XML node (node) if available.
findReturn a logical value indicating whether to recursively descend the XML node to find the <return> element and process that rather than working directly from node.
multiRefs ?
