<< Herong's Tutorial Notes on Web Service and SOAP

This section describes the nodeTYpe attribute used in serializing complex values.

To help identifying the type of node, SOAP encoding specification also offers the following rule:

Rule 7. When serializing an labeled inbound edge, "enc:nodeType" attribute can be added to indicate what kind of a value this node represents. "enc:nodeType" may be one of the strings "simple" or "struct" or "array".

Example 7:

   <currentCustomer enc:nodeType="struct">
    <id enc:nodeType="simple">2321</id>
    <name enc:nodeType="simple">Herong</name>
    <isSmoking enc:nodeType="simple">false</isSmoking>
   </currentCustomer>
