Native Development

I am using QtSoap to receive a reply from a webservice, it mainly consists of three big arrays full of items.

I am a bit lost how to handle the responses, especially the arrays.

Don't hesitate to improve any part of my code, as a java developer i am collecting code pieces from all parts of the web and try to get them running together  

What i have managed so far is to iterate over the response and "find" the relevant arrays.

But how do i convert the item to an array? My feeble attempts so far did no succeed. 

const QtSoapMessage& resp = m_soap.getResponse();
QtSoapStruct &m = (QtSoapStruct &) resp.method();
for (QtSoapStructIterator it(m); it.current(); ++it) {
	QtSoapType *item = it.data();
	if (QString::compare("Attributes", item->name().name()) == 0) {
			qDebug() << "Attributes found";
	} else if (QString::compare("Box", item->name().name()) == 0) {
			qDebug() << "Box found";
	} else if (QString::compare("Tabs", item->name().name()) == 0) {
			qDebug() << "Tabs found";
	} else if (QString::compare("Version", item->name().name()) == 0) {
			qDebug() << "Version: "+item->value().toString();
	}
}

Haven't tried it myself but I believe you can cast your QtSoapType items to QtSoapArray if they are of that type.

QtSoapType *item = it.data();

if (item != NULL && item->type() == QtSoapType::Array)
{
    QtSoapArray* array = (QtSoapArray*)item;
    // now work with array
}

Let me know if it works.

Hi Simon,

Have you been able to try this yet?

Thanks!

Hi Daniel, thanks for your reply. It seems that tge QtSoapType is quite flexible and you can cast it to whatever you like.

QtSoapStruct allows to access items by name, while QtSoapArray allows iterating them.

My code looks like this now: 

QtSoapStruct &soapStruct = (QtSoapStruct &) resp.method();
QtSoapArray &attributes = (QtSoapArray &) soapStruct["Attributes"];

 I will add the null and type check, did not know how to do that so far

So does that fully answer your question?  If so, can you mark a post as a solution.  If not, how can we help?

Thanks!
