Issue

• Does e-Work handle complex types in web services?

Discussion

1. We can have a stage in e-Work that reaches out and consumes a complex type web service. In this scenario, complex types can be handled, but you would have to create a .NET assembly or COM object and invoke it via JScript or VBScript inside of e-Work.

2. The web services that are created by e-Work do not support complex types. When you generate a WSDL file using the e-Work web services wizard, it creates a simple type WSDL file. With that you can interact with e-Work and thus a process.

   However, if there is a form in the first action, and the form contains an editable grid that can have multiple rows inserted, this would require a complex web service type. This is not currently supported.
