[MOBY-l] Paramter structure

[Bertrand Neron]

I 'd like to build a service which take in input a Simple and several
Secondaries.

which structure should have the xml input ?

On the page http://www.biomoby.org/twiki/bin//view/Moby/MobySAPI, I found an
example of xml where the Parameters have the following structure:
 
<Parameter articleName=''>
 <Value>34</Value>
</Parameter>

The complete example from
http://www.biomoby.org/twiki/bin/view/Moby/MobySAPI:

... 
A message to a service that requires Secondary Articles is invoked as in the following example:

       <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
       <moby:MOBY xmlns:moby="http://www.biomoby.org/moby">
          <moby:Query>
              <moby:queryInput queryID='a1'>
                   <Simple articleName=''>
                      <Object namespace="Genbank/gi" id="163483"/>
                   </Simple>

                   <Parameter articleName='cutoff'>
                                <Value>34</Value>
                   </Parameter>

              </moby:queryInput>
          </moby:Query>
       </moby:MOBY>

...


But on the page of the api of Moby.CommonSubs (
http://www.biomoby.org/moby-live/Perl/MOBY/CommonSubs.htm). I found an
other example of xml input. Where the parameter have this structure

<Parameter articleName=''>
  <datatype>dataType</datatype>
  <default></default>
</Parameter>

The complete example from complexServiceInputParser at
http://www.biomoby.org/moby-live/Perl/MOBY/CommonSubs.htm :

...            
            for example, the input message:
            
                <queryInput queryID = '1'>
                    <Simple articleName='name1'>
                       <Object namespace=blah id=blah/>
                    </Simple>
                    <Parameter articleName='cutoff'>
                       <datatype>Float</datatype>
                       <default>10</default>
                    </Parameter>
                </queryInput>

            will become:
            (note that SIMPLE, COLLECTION, and SECONDARY are exported constants from this module)
            
            $inputs->{1} = [ [SIMPLE, $DOM_name1],
                             [SECONDARY, $DOM_cutoff]
                           ]

...


Thanks,

Bertrand
