help with constructors

[eric.olander]

Here's a fragment of code I'm playing with:

package Soap;

import scala.xml.{Elem, Node, NamespaceBinding};

object SoapNamespace extends NamespaceBinding("env",
"http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope", scala.xml.TopScope)

class SoapElement(label : String, attributes : scala.xml.MetaData, children :
scala.xml.Node*) extends Elem("env", label, attributes, SoapNamespace, children)
{
 
}


I get a type mismatch error (found scala.xml.Node* required: scala.xml.Node) on
the definition of SoapElement.  I understand the problem, but I'm sort of stuck
for a better way to code this.  I can do away with the SoapElement class
entirely - it's just a convenience class my other classes extend so all the soap
elements will have the same prefix and namespace, but I'd like to avoid code
duplication as much as possible.  Anyway, in general, is it possible for a
subclass constructor to pass a type of someobject* to its superclass?  Thanks
for any help.

I think it is possible in the same way as when callling a method with *-parameter using an explicit
sequence object. Namely:

class SoapElement(label: String, attributes: scala.xml.MetaData, children: scala.xml.Node*)
      extends Elem("env", label, attributes, SoapNamespace, children:_*)

Note the _* type annotation.

Talking has been known to lead to communication if practiced carelessly.

That fixed it.  Thanks a lot!  Any interest out there in a Soap handling module
once I get this finished?

I would be.  Over the weekend I used Axis to create some Java stubs,
which I then compiled and invoked from Scala.  It would be nice to have
a pure Scala solution to that problem instead...

Hi Eric,

yes please do share your stuff! It might also provide some hints on
where to go with the data-binding tool (schema2src).

cheers,
Burak
