If you need to transfer an parameter in a Web Service message for which null<\/b> is a legal value always use a custom complex type.<\/p>\n
Assume you have the following Web Service method: If you generate the WSDL from this code you will get an xsd:boolean<\/b> on the wire. The result is the same for Boolean<\/b> and boolean<\/b>. public WSBoolean isCompany() I experienced this behaviour on BEA Weblogic 8.1 SP3, but I expect other frameworks\/platforms like .NET or Websphere to behave in the same way. If you need to transfer an parameter in a Web Service message for which null is a legal value always use a custom complex type. Assume you have the following Web Service method: public bool isCompany() { return true; } If the requested information is not known it might be good idea to use Boolean … Continue reading Web Services and Null Values – Part II<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3,1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-50","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-soa","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pleus.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pleus.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pleus.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pleus.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pleus.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=50"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.pleus.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":334,"href":"https:\/\/www.pleus.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/50\/revisions\/334"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.pleus.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=50"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pleus.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=50"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.pleus.net\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=50"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}

\npublic bool isCompany()
\n{
\n return true;
\n}
\n<\/font>
\nIf the requested information is not known it might be good idea to use Boolean<\/b> instead of the native type boolean<\/b> like in the following code snippet:
\n
\npublic Boolean isCompany()
\n{
\n return null; \/\/ that means unknown
\n}
\n<\/font>
\nHere null is returned to indicate that the information is not known.<\/p>\n
\nThat means in XML the boolean value is not nullable anymore.
\nIf you want the transfer a nullable type wrap it in a complex type:
\n
\npublic class WSBoolean
\n{
\n public boolean;
\n}<\/p>\n
\n{
\n return null; \/\/ that means unknown
\n}
\n<\/font> <\/p>\n
\nIf you wrap your nullable types you are on the safe side.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
