For TABLE parameters, client interfaces:

  • Contain a row object for any input parameter; for example:

    public class OrderDetailsRow

  • Represent an input TABLE parameter as an array of row objects

  • Represent output TABLE parameters using an array holder class and a row holder class for the row objects, as in the following RPC/Encoded example:

    public class ArrayofOrderDetailsRowHolder
public class OrderDetailsRowHolder
