Expect a much better bersion to be posted soon. Jsut crazy busy tryign to finish a project up!

But did you find a solution for special characters ? if there is a special character in xml structure unlike XmlDatasetParser class is unable to detect and append to previous string.Is anyone found a solution for this? hey;

thanx for great post. But did you find a solution for special characters ? if there is a special character in xml structure unlike XmlDatasetParser class is unable to detect and append to previous string.Is anyone found a solution for this?

It sure is misleading tho to see an error about the stored proc not receiving the parameter. It leads one to believe that we're communicating properly with the web service. So if anyone else gets the same error, it has nothing to do with your parameters. Its because you missed a stupid forward slash '/' somewhere in your xmlNameSpace.

One word of warning - don't use this code as-is. As it stands, it is leakier than a sieve. Run it under the static analyser to see the warnings and correct them for yourself.

The new structure will be DATASET.TABLES(NSDictionary-ofTables) TABLE(NSDIctionary)[Key=RowID:Value=NSDictionary-ofcolumns] COLUMN(NSDictionary)[Key=ColumnName:Value=String-ofData] This will be much more flexible in that you can retrieve an entire table of rows and loop through each single row or column depending on your needs. simply by calling [myRow objectForKey@"Column1"]. This may help you out with what you are trying to accomplish. I will create a brand new blog post for this new version with instructions on using it which are far more simplified. My new approach actually is much better performance wise as it does not need to loop so much to create these structures. hopefully I will have the new post done by the end of this weekend.

The only issues I'm having are that this code uses a synchronous request to download the data, which causes my UI to freeze, and that it treats each element in the soap response as a distinct 'column' in the table - ignoring how it actually relates to other elements in the xml tree structure that I'm getting back from the server. It would help me tremendously if there was a way to parse each node of the xml into an NSDictionary, or to simply dump the data into a .plist file. Also, if anyone knows how to change this so that it works asynchronously, or can point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it.
