Hi,
I built an application that uses C stub APIs derived by using gSoap tool and vmware wsdl file. I used the wsdl for the SDK4.0 at first and coded my application on top of the C APIs I got using this wsdl. Now I wanted to move to SDK4.1 and got some new C stub APIs using gSoap and the wsdl4.1. However now my application does not compile anymore and the reason is the _ns1__QueryPerfResponse structure is defined differently:
from vcenter.h generated by wsdl4.0:
struct _ns1__QueryPerfResponse
{
/// Size of array of struct ns1__PerfEntityMetric* is 0..unbounded
int __sizereturnval 0;
/// Array struct ns1__PerfEntityMetric* of length 0..unbounded
struct ns1__PerfEntityMetric* returnval 0;
};
from vcenter.h generated by wsdl4.1:
struct _ns1__QueryPerfResponse
{
/// Size of array of struct ns1__PerfEntityMetricBase* is 0..unbounded
int __sizereturnval 0;
/// Array struct ns1__PerfEntityMetricBase* of length 0..unbounded
struct ns1__PerfEntityMetricBase* returnval 0;
};
is this expected? Shouldn't we have backward compatibility? Otherwise and application working with vCenter4.0 might not work anymore with vCenter4.1?
Thanks
Fabrizio
