Using Records with Delphi web services

Question

I'm trying to use records with web services application in Delphi 32, the records defined as

TMyRec = record
  Val1:integer;
  Val2:string;
end;

TMyClass = class(TRemotable)
  private fMyRec:TMyRec;
published
  property MyRec:TMyRec read fMyRec write fMyRec;
end;  

ITMyService = interface(IInvokable)
  ['{6283B8DA-C567-4814-906E-321729B1AE72}']

    function GetMyClass(id:Integer):TMyClass;stdcall;
  end;

but it doesn't exposed as on WSDL file, so is there problem when using records?

I'm using Delphi 2009

Answer 1

Even if the compiler does not prohibit to publish the record data types, it does not provide the full support for it - see docwiki

Updated:

You can always publish the separate fields instead of the whole record:

TMyRec = record
  Val1:integer;
  Val2:string;
end;

TMyClass = class(TRemotable)
  private fMyRec:TMyRec;
published
  property MyRecVal1:Integer read GetMyRecVal1 write SetMyRecVal1;
  property MyRecVal1:string read GetMyRecVal2 write SetMyRecVal2;
end;  

You must implement simple getter and setter methods to access fMyRec fields. I hope that helps, though I am not sure that is what you are looking for.

Answer 2

I have tried RemObjects SDK,and it does the job.

Delphi isn't able to simple things like records inside class for web services :-(, I think they need to work real hard to make Delphi real enterprise tool.
