XWeb Type

The netFORUM xWeb web methods have a request and a response. The elements in the request and response conform to types defined in the WSDL.

Many of these types are derived from Microsoft base types.

Recommendations

Be aware that Type schema (and WSDL's) can vary slightly from one xWeb Build to another and from one netFORUM client to each other. netFORUM is a complex enterprise software suite that is modified from one client to the next.

Generally, the basic structure of the schema for Complex Types will be the same for all netFORUM instances in a single build, but you may see additional elements for Extender Columns. Extender Columns are custom data fields which are different for each client. Extender columns are all minOccurs="0" so you are not required to include them in requests.

What this means is that if you develop an xWeb integration for one client, it might not necessarily be plug-and-play to drop in that same integration for the next client, especially if they are on a different xWeb Build.
