Here is some code to allow a response document to mimic it's parent when it is updated.





I have an application that uses response documents to store additional information.

When the document is saved I need it to catch up with a couple of fields in the parent document.

 

Sticking this code into the computed Name field sorts this out.

 

T:=@getdocfield($ref;"name");

@if(

@iserror(t) & name=""; @return("Parent not found");

@iserror(t); @return(name);

T)

 

It also works when creating the document.

Web Services Platform Architecture: Soap, WSDL, WS-Policy, WS-Addressing, WS-Bpel, WS-Reliable Messaging and More by Francisco Curbera, Frank Leymann, Tony Storey, Donald Ferguson, Sanjiva Weerawarana
Other books claim to present the complete Web services platform architecture, but this is the first one I've seen that really does. The authors have been intimately involved in the creation of the architecture. Who better to write this book?
