Data Type Mapping for Web Service Call-In

Uniface data types differ from the data types defined in the XML Schema Definition (XSD). To support Uniface Web service call-in, the Uniface data types must be mapped to the XML schema data types.

The following table shows the mappings between the simple Uniface parameter data types and XML schema data types for Web service call-in:

Uniface Simple Parameters-XML Schema Data Type Mappings for Web Service Call-In
Uniface Simple Parameter Data Type	XML Schema Data Type
Handle	Not supported
String	`string`
XML Stream	`string`
Numeric	`decimal`
Float	`double`
Boolean	`boolean`
Raw	`base64Binary`
Image	`base64Binary`
Date	`date`
Time	`time`
Datetime	`dateTime`
Linear Date	string
Linear Time	string
Linear Datetime	string

If the Uniface data type is Entity or Occurrence, Uniface maps it to an XML schema data structure. In this structure, each field of the entity or occurrence is mapped into an XML schema data type, as described in the following table:
