[AG-TECH] Passing DataDescription object from Client to server using SOAP

[Michael Braitmaier]

Hello!

I am currently working on passing a DataDescription from the users AG client 
to the VenueServer using the Webservice interface of a venue. Is this 
intended by the SOAP used by AG so far. I seem to have problems with passing 
such objects over the net using SOAP. I always end up in a SOAP method 
failed exception when calling the webservice method (Find the exception 
attached at the end of the mail).

As I already worked with the .NET webservice concept which supports 
serialization of objects and sending them in webservice calls, I assumed 
this would work in AG webservices too.

It would be really important for my future work to know this aspect, as the 
inability to send objects would complicate things quite a lot.

Thanks in advance
Michael
