Hi,

I have a soaplib server (emulating a Java server) which does this:

from soaplib.serializers.primitive import String, Integer, DateTime, Array, Fault from soaplib.serializers.clazz import ClassSerializer

from soaplib.service import SoapServiceBase from soaplib.service import soapmethod

class Transaction(ClassSerializer):

class types: cost = Integer purchaseDate = DateTime status = Integer

class HistoryResponse(ClassSerializer):

class types: transactions = Array(Transaction) totalRecords = Integer

class TransactionService(SoapServiceBase):

@soapmethod(String, Integer, DateTime, DateTime, Integer, _returns=HistoryResponse) def getHistory(self, tokenId, status, dateFrom, dateTo, pageId):

transactionsList = createAPythonListOfTransactionObjects() response = HistoryResponse() response.transactions = transactionsList response.totalRecords = 1000

In Suds (in another process), when I get back the results from calling getHistory(), the return value prints like this:

(HistoryResponse){ totalRecords = 1000 transactions = (TransactionArray){ _type = "tns:TransactionArray" Transaction[] = (Transaction){ purchaseDate = 2010-02-28 12:00:00 cost = 1500 status = 8 }, (Transaction){ purchaseDate = 2010-02-28 12:00:00 cost = 1200 status = 2 }, } }

To loop over transactions, I have to do:

for item in response.transactions.Transaction: ...

Which is pretty awkward. I also suspect that this may not always be necessary, as we had some other mocks going with SoapUI where it was sufficient to iterate over response.transactions directly.

Am I doing something wrong?

Cheers, Martin
