I have been using TS webservices to automate some of our processes for a number of years. One thing I have been doing is using the "getUserAndChildrenList" to get a reference to the current user and his child users. I am doing this from C# where the method is defined as


[SoapDocumentMethod ("getUserAndChildrenList", RequestNamespace = "http://user.service.soap.trackstudio.com/",
ResponseNamespace = "http://user.service.soap.trackstudio.com/", Use =SoapBindingUse.Literal, ParameterStyle = SoapParameterStyle.Wrapped)]
public userBean [] getUserAndChildrenList (string sessionId, string userId);


When I log in, I get the current user id and the session id and use this method to get a user bean for the current user.

Code: Select all

User result = null;
foreach (TsUser::userBean ub in Connection.UserService.getUserAndChildrenList (this.sessionId, uid)) {
  if (ub.id.Equals (uid)) {
    result = User.CreateFromUserBean (ub);
    break;
  }
}


What I am finding is that recently the array of users returned from this method does not include the current user (the one referenced with the provided uid) - it only contains a list of child users.

This breaks all my code because I don't have a bean for the current user.

I am using TrackStudio host (currently 4.0.17.20120831).

Thanks for any help you can provide.

Thanks, we'll check this ASAP.

Yes it is true. Because It does not have sense. You have a sessionId and uid in your code. It is a current user. You can use it in your code.

I don't exactly agree that there is a sense to not returning the provided uid since the method is called "getUserAndChildrenList" and it does not return the User (otherwise the method would be called "getChildrenList" .

In addition, while I have the user's uid I don't have the user's UserBean which contains other information that I want (like the clear text name of the user).

In addition, the current Trackstudio behavior breaks the code that I am using (for long time) in my my deployed applications, rendering them useless.

Yes it is true. We are going to return this behaviors. I will message you when we do it.

I did it. I think Maxim updates a TS host today and you can check it.

Yours faithfully.

Seems to work. Thanks a lot for your effort.
