In this post I will explain what a property set is, how it looks and how to build a property set using eScript.

Property set is a set of data containing Type, Property and Value. It is stored in a form of XML. For example, when you write a business service a script under Service_PreInvokeMethod and Inputs to this is a property set and it could something like this.

<Inputs status=”Active” Type=”Credit Request”/>

Where Inputs is a Type, status=”Active” is a property name-value pair and so is Type=”Credit Request”. This propertyset has no value.

Lets see another property set.

<UsernameToken xmlns=”http://siebel.com/webservices”>SADMIN</UsernameToken>

Here UsernameToken is a property type, xmlns=”http://siebel.com/webservices” is property name-value pair and SADMIN is a property value.

Using eScript we can build propertyset. Lets try to build a property set that looks something like this.

<SOAP-ENV:Header>

<UsernameToken xmlns=”http://siebel.com/webservices”>SADMIN</UsernameToken>

<PasswordText xmlns=”http://siebel.com/webservices”>SADMIN</PasswordText>

<SessionType xmlns=”http://siebel.com/webservices”>Stateless</SessionType>

</SOAP-ENV:Header>

The above XML code is a SOAP header normally used with webservices. The above whole code is one single property set having three child propertysets UsernameToken, PasswordText and SessionType.

The script to build this whole propertyset is here below.

//Initialize a propertyset

var soapHeader = TheApplication().NewPropertySet();

//This sets the type-Builds line 1 and 5

soapHeader.SetType(”SOAP-ENV:Header”);

var UsernameToken = TheApplication().NewPropertySet();

var PasswordText = TheApplication().NewPropertySet();

var SessionType = TheApplication().NewPropertySet();

//This builds line 2

UsernameToken.SetType(”UsernameToken”);

UsernameToken.SetProperty(”xmlns”,”http://siebel.com/webservices”);

UsernameToken.SetValue(”SADMIN”);

//This builds line3

PasswordText.SetType(”PasswordText”);

PasswordText.SetProperty(”xmlns”,”http://siebel.com/webservices”);

PasswordText.SetValue(”SIEB2008″);

//This builds line4

SessionType.SetType(”SessionType”);

SessionType.SetProperty(”xmlns”,”http://siebel.com/webservices”);

SessionType.SetValue(”Stateless”);

//Add lines 2,3 and 4 as child of line 1     

soapHeader.AddChild(UsernameToken);

soapHeader.AddChild(PasswordText);

soapHeader.AddChild(SessionType);

Hope this helps in understanding the representation of propertysets and how it is stored. Leave your comments.
