| 13 |
Execute a set of one or more procedure calls on the server as a single |
| 14 |
request. The only supported call signature takes an ARRAY of STRUCT values. |
| 15 |
Each STRUCT should have two members: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
methodName The name of the method/routine to invoke as a STRING |
| 18 |
params An ARRAY of the parameters to pass to the routine |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
If the "params" member is absent, a call with no parameters is assumed. The |
| 21 |
ARRAY of parameters will be expanded prior to the call, otherwise all the |
| 22 |
called routines would have to have a signature allowing for a single ARRAY |
| 23 |
input. Thus, any routine taking such an input will have to nest it within an |
| 24 |
outer containing ARRAY. |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
The return value is an ARRAY of the return values from the calls, or a fault |
| 27 |
response if one of the calls failed. Because the specification does not allow |
| 28 |
for faults as first-class datatypes, all other results are discarded upon an |
| 29 |
error, and any remaining calls will not get executed. |
