Enum type as SOAP service inputs

Hello Ramakrishna

Can you share the definition of the enumeration?

It can be defined as string with the restriction of values as enumeration.

Can you mention more details of what you have tried so far? Is there any public service that can be tested with it?

Other questions just for the sake of curiosity, is that SOAP coming from .Net? Java?

The WSDL might not be supported by Appian. Check out docs.appian.com/.../Call_Web_Service_Smart_Service.html.

Thanks Carlos, looks like we have to build custom java plug-in to overcome this. Planning to raise a enhancement ticket to Appian also as ENUMs are common in java services.

Hi Josep,
It's JAVA enum. I tried defining it as string but it's not converted.

Input to webservice query:
inputVar: {
MerchantSearchField: "DisplayName",
searchValue: "ABCD"
}

Enum structure:
@XmlType(name = "MerchantSearchField")
@XmlEnum
public enum MerchantSearchField {

@XmlEnumValue("TaxId")
TAX_ID("TaxId"),
@XmlEnumValue("UserNumber")
USER_NUMBER("UserNumber"),
@XmlEnumValue("DisplayName")
DISPLAY_NAME("DisplayName");
private final String value;

Hello Ramakrishna ,


1) I see that the Type String is missing @XmlEnum(String.class) i am not sure how the XSD looks like now.
As far as i know the <xsd:restriction> are ignored in the CDTs . So if the XSD looks like this?
<xs:simpleType name="MerchantSearchField">
<xs:restriction base="xs:string"/>
<xs:enumeration value="TaxId"/>

But well that is totally another world so maybe we can just say it is not supported as Carlos mentioned.

2) In the other hand you can try the Advanced Web service call plugin
forum.appian.com/.../summary

3) Maybe it is really not needed the plugin but who knows try to take a look at the other options

Hope this helps

Jose
