Primitive Types

Some methods use primitive types for inputs.

• int - a 32-bit signed, two's complement integer value.

• long - a 64-bit signed, two's complement integer value.

• float - a 32-bit floating point number.

• double - a 64-bit floating point number.

• string - a text string of unicode characters.

• boolean - true or false.

• date - a representation of a date and time. The SOAP implementation is an xsd:dateTime. The dateTime is specified in the following form "YYYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ" where:

  • YYYY indicates the year

  • MM indicates the month

  • DD indicates the day

  • T indicates the start of the required time section

  • hh indicates the hour

  • mm indicates the minute

  • ss indicates the second

  • (optional) adding a Z behind the time indicates UTC timezone. All times on the library are in UTC by default.

  A sample dateTime would be "2016-10-31T15:30:10Z". Details are language-specific once the Web Services Description Language (WSDL) has been transformed into a specific language.
