[moby] [MOBY-l] Dynamically discovering service parameters

[Mark Wilkinson]

Hi Brian, 

Thanks for the heads-up! The documentation for
MOBY::Client::ServiceInstance hasn't been updated properly.

You should be able to get what you want as follows:

my $outputs $ServiceInstance->output;
# returns MOBY::Cient::SimpleArticle, CollectionArticle,
# and/or SecondaryArticle objects

foreach (@$outputs){ 
	if ($_->isSecondary){
		print $_->articleName;
		print $_->min;
		print $_->max;
		print $_->default;
		print $_->datatype;
	}
}


Hope that helps!

M
