Passing the URL of the XML file with the structure of the branch that should be loaded 2. Reading the contents of the file and passing as a parameter "the XML string" The implementation at our site allows us to generate once the URL has been given (e.g. www.mysite.com/index.php/content/view/xml/172) all of the Childs that belong to that node. The problem: As ez knows how to read the URL's generated by the system, but JS does not, we think it's a better idea to take into consideration the second option, so we would like to obtain a response chain with the XML needed and pass the information to the JS function.

You have to : - declare the SOAP server in the soap.ini file : [GeneralSettings] EnableSOAP=true [ExtensionSettings] # Extensions for SOAP functions. # SOAP functions must be registered under soap/initialize.php SOAPExtensions[]=your extension - then create a file extension/<your extension>/soap/initialize.php - You have to declare all of your functions : function myfunction( $param1, $param2) { ... return $result; } - Just after each function, you must register it in eZ : $server->registerFunction( "myfunction", array("param1" => "string", "param2" => "array") ); And that's all. The URL of the SOAP service is www.yoursite.com/soap.php It may change for version 4.0.

Hello,

I am using a Javascript object that builds a treeview, this treeview loads its branches (child nodes) dynamically using an XML file at the server using XMLHTTPRequest, there are two ways of doing this operation:

1. Passing the URL of the XML file with the structure of the branch that should be loaded
2. Reading the contents of the file and passing as a parameter "the XML string"

The implementation at our site allows us to generate once the URL has been given (e.g. www.mysite.com/index.php/content/view/xml/172) all of the Childs that belong to that node.

The problem:

As ez knows how to read the URL's generated by the system, but JS does not, we think it's a better idea to take into consideration the second option, so we would like to obtain a response chain with the XML needed and pass the information to the JS function. So we need to make a request, save the response in a variable and give this variable to the JS code.

In ez docs a native code is mentioned ezSOAPClient that suggest that it can be used to make requests and get responses to the server but I cannot find any hints that could give me an example on how to use it, I am quite sure this could be a solution but with no help at all I am kind of grounded.

Can someone point out information about the ezSOAPClient

Hi,

I already done this on a old version of ez 3.6.x.

You have to :
- declare the SOAP server in the soap.ini file :

[GeneralSettings]
EnableSOAP=true

[ExtensionSettings]
# Extensions for SOAP functions.
# SOAP functions must be registered under soap/initialize.php
SOAPExtensions[]=your extension

- then create a file extension/<your extension>/soap/initialize.php
- You have to declare all of your functions :

function myfunction( $param1, $param2) 
{
...
return $result;
}

- Just after each function, you must register it in eZ :

$server->registerFunction( "myfunction",
         array("param1" => "string",
               "param2" => "array") );

And that's all.
The URL of the SOAP service is www.yoursite.com/soap.php

It may change for version 4.0.
