Good day! I would like to use the Magento’s SOAP API to manage the product catalog, attributes etc. I'm running following configuration:- <ul> <li>Magento 1.6</li> <li>Soap API WS-I compliance</li> <li>Mac OSX Lion</li> <li>Mamp 2.0.5</li> </ul> In case someone wants to create a new product, it is necessary to set a few properties of the product object. Following code will demonstrate my approach to do this : <pre><code> public int createProduct(DatabaseProduct product) { ArrayOfString categories = new ArrayOfString(); categories.getComplexObjectArray().add(categoryID); createEntity.setCategoryIds(categories); CatalogProductCreateEntity createEntity = populateCreateOrUpdateEntity(product); CatalogProductCreateRequestParam param = new CatalogProductCreateRequestParam(); param.setSessionId(sessionId); param.setSet(setId); param.setSku(product.getSku()); param.setType("simple"); param.setStore(storeId); param.setProductData(createEntity); CatalogProductCreateResponseParam response = service.catalogProductCreate(param); return response.getResult(); } private CatalogProductCreateEntity populateCreateOrUpdateEntity(DatabaseProduct product) { CatalogProductCreateEntity createEntity = new CatalogProductCreateEntity(); createEntity.setShortDescription(product.getDescription().substring(0, 20) + "..."); createEntity.setDescription(product.getDescription()); createEntity.setName(product.getName()); createEntity.setPrice(String.valueOf(product.getPrice())); createEntity.setStatus("1"); //active createEntity.setVisibility("4"); //visible in search/catalog createEntity.setWeight("70"); //some value createEntity.setTaxClassId("2"); //standard AssociativeArray attributes = new AssociativeArray(); AssociativeEntity attr1 = new AssociativeEntity(); attr1.("attribute1_key"; attr1.("attribute1_value"); attributes.getComplexObjectArray().add(attr1); AssociativeEntity attr2 = new AssociativeEntity(); attr2.("attribute2_key"); attr2.("attribute2_value"); attributes.getComplexObjectArray().add(attr2); createEntity.setAdditionalAttributes(attributes); return createEntity; } </code></pre> I realized that I get an error written to the "<code>system.log</code>" of Magento. <pre><code>2012-01-21T09:41:01+00:00 DEBUG (7): First parameter must either be an object or the name of an existing class/opt/website/magento/app/code/core/Mage/Catalog/Model/Product/Api/V2.php </code></pre> I could localize the error in the "<code>V2.php</code>" file on line 265. According to the php.net documentation the "<code>property_exists()</code>" method only can check for fields in objects. As a matter of fact the "<code>$productData</code>" variable holds a property called "<code>additional_attributes</code>" which is of the type array. Therefore the execution of this code will lead to an error. Moreover I don’t know to reproduce the object the structure of the "<code>$productData</code>" object through the use of Magento’s SOAP API V2. If I examine this code ("<code>foreach</code>" loop) in line 270, it indicates that there is an object ("<code>$productData</code>") holding an array ("<code>additional_attributes</code>") which again shall encapsulate a set of key/value pairs (if I am right) <pre><code>253 protected function _prepareDataForSave ($product, $productData) 254 { 255 if (property_exists($productData, 'website_ids') && is_array($productData->website_ids)) { 256 $product->setWebsiteIds($productData->website_ids); 257 } 258 259 Mage::log("debug1"); 260 Mage::log(property_exists($productData, 'additional_attributes')); 261 262 Mage::log($productData); 263 264 if (property_exists($productData, 'additional_attributes')) { 265 if (property_exists($productData->additional_attributes, 'single_data')) { 266 267 Mage::log("---> single"); 268 Mage::log($productData->additional_attributes); 269 270 foreach ($productData->additional_attributes->single_data as $_attribute) { 271 $_attrCode = $_attribute->key; 272 $productData->$_attrCode = $_attribute->value; 273 } 274 } 275 if (property_exists($productData->additional_attributes, 'multi_data')) { 276 277 Mage::log("---> multi"); 278 Mage::log($productData->additional_attributes); 279 280 foreach ($productData->additional_attributes->multi_data as $_attribute) { 281 $_attrCode = $_attribute->key; 282 $productData->$_attrCode = $_attribute->value; 283 } 284 } 285 286 Mage::log("debugXXX"); 287 unset($productData->additional_attributes); 288 } 289 290 Mage::log("debug2"); 291 292 foreach ($product->getTypeInstance(true)->getEditableAttributes($product) as $attribute) { 293 $_attrCode = $attribute->getAttributeCode(); 294 if ($this->_isAllowedAttribute($attribute) && (isset($productData->$_attrCode))) { 295 $product->setData( 296 ... etc ... </code></pre> This seems to be a bug. So here is my question. Am I going right to call this an programming issue which shall be posted in the bug base? Is there a way to get over this issue? Shall I rewrite parts of the php.code from above to satisfy my need to handle product information to create a product properly ? Thanks in advance <pre><code> $productData ( [name] => testname [description] => testdescription [short_description] => shorttestdescription [weight] => 70 [status] => 1 [visibility] => 4 [price] => 359.0 [tax_class_id] => 2 [additional_attributes] => Array ( [attribute1] => 999.0 [attribute2] => testcontent ) ) </code></pre> the CatalogProductCreate-Call from the WSDL generated by SoapUI: <pre><code><soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:urn="urn:Magento"> <soapenv:Header/> <soapenv:Body> <urn:catalogProductCreateRequestParam> <sessionId>?</sessionId> <type>?</type> <set>?</set> <sku>?</sku> <productData>  <categories>  <complexObjectArray>?</complexObjectArray> </categories>  <websites>  <complexObjectArray>?</complexObjectArray> </websites>  <name>?</name>  <description>?</description>  <short_description>?</short_description>  <weight>?</weight>  <status>?</status>  <url_key>?</url_key>  <url_path>?</url_path>  <visibility>?</visibility>  <category_ids>  <complexObjectArray>?</complexObjectArray> </category_ids>  <website_ids>  <complexObjectArray>?</complexObjectArray> </website_ids>  <has_options>?</has_options>  <gift_message_available>?</gift_message_available>  <price>?</price>  <special_price>?</special_price>  <special_from_date>?</special_from_date>  <special_to_date>?</special_to_date>  <tax_class_id>?</tax_class_id>  <tier_price>  <complexObjectArray>  <customer_group_id>?</customer_group_id>  <website>?</website>  <qty>?</qty>  <price>?</price> </complexObjectArray> </tier_price>  <meta_title>?</meta_title>  <meta_keyword>?</meta_keyword>  <meta_description>?</meta_description>  <custom_design>?</custom_design>  <custom_layout_update>?</custom_layout_update>  <options_container>?</options_container>  <additional_attributes>  <complexObjectArray> <key>?</key> <value>?</value> </complexObjectArray> </additional_attributes>  <stock_data>  <qty>?</qty>  <is_in_stock>?</is_in_stock>  <manage_stock>?</manage_stock>  <use_config_manage_stock>?</use_config_manage_stock>  <min_qty>?</min_qty>  <use_config_min_qty>?</use_config_min_qty>  <min_sale_qty>?</min_sale_qty>  <use_config_min_sale_qty>?</use_config_min_sale_qty>  <max_sale_qty>?</max_sale_qty>  <use_config_max_sale_qty>?</use_config_max_sale_qty>  <is_qty_decimal>?</is_qty_decimal>  <backorders>?</backorders>  <use_config_backorders>?</use_config_backorders>  <notify_stock_qty>?</notify_stock_qty>  <use_config_notify_stock_qty>?</use_config_notify_stock_qty> </stock_data> </productData>  <store>?</store> </urn:catalogProductCreateRequestParam> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope> </code></pre>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
