XMLPort Export with Nested Repeating Fields

rsaritzky

Hi all,

I want to create a webservice that returns some web roles that are stored in NAV.

The roles are stored in the “Contact Login Permission Table” in NAV

Contact No. Site Role ID
CONT1 WEBSITE1.COM ADMIN
CONT1 WEBSITE2.COM ADMIN
CONT1 WEBSITE2.COM SECURITYMGR


This is the structure of the XML output I’d like to send:

<WebUser>
	<ContactNo>CONT1</ContactNo>
	<Site>
		<SiteID>WEBSITE1.COM
			<RoleID>ADMIN</RoleID>
		</SiteID>
	</Site>
	<Site>
		<SiteID>WEBSITE2.COM
			<RoleID>ADMIN</RoleID>
			<RoleID>SECURITYMGR</RoleID>
		</SiteID>
	</Site>
</WebUser>

I am creating temporary tables, looping through each website, so I have a temporary table the first time through for WEBSITE1 that contains only 1 record (ADMIN), and the second time through for WEBSITE2 that contains 2 records (ADMIN and SECURITYMGR).

The closest I can get is with an additional “Role” tag surrounding each role, e.g.

<WebUser>
	<ContactNo>CONT1</ContactNo>
	<Site>
		<SiteID>WEBSITE1.COM
			<Roles>
				<RoleID>ADMIN</RoleID>
			</Roles>

		</SiteID>
	</Site>
	<Site>
		<SiteID>WEBSITE2.COM
			<Roles>
				<RoleID>ADMIN</RoleID>
			</Roles>
			<Roles>
				<RoleID>SECURITYMGR</RoleID>
			</Roles>
		</SiteID>
	</Site>
</WebUser>

Our web developers don’t want the extra “Roles” tags around each role. Has anyone had to do something similar?

Thanks

Ron
