This document describes the specific mapping of Software AG IDL data types, groups and arrays to the webMethods Integration Server. Please note also the remarks and hints on the IDL data types valid for all language bindings found under Software AG IDL File in the IDL Editor documentation.
In the table below, the following metasymbols and informal terms are used for the IDL.
The metasymbols "[" and "]" enclose optional lexical entities.
The informal term number
(or in some cases number1
.number2
) is a sequence of numeric characters, for example 123.

Notes:
Long
only if number1
<=19 and number2
=0. Otherwise they are mapped to String
.
Groups are mapped to documents.
One-dimensional arrays are mapped to String lists (java.lang.String[]
). Or see above.
Two-dimensional arrays are mapped to String tables (java.lang.String[][]
). Or see above.
Three-dimensional arrays are mapped to java.lang.String[][][]
. Or see above.
Note:
Binary data is mapped to byte[]
. For example, a one-dimensional array is mapped to byte list (byte[]
) etc.
