+3There is a service object type in the api of XML. When you create a smart object, there is no xml type. If you have a service object of type xml and map it to a smart object, it becomes a type of text. Has anybody actually used this xml type?
What I was hoping I could do was return an xml document from a smart object and place it in an xml field. Perhaps I'm trying to do this the wrong way. Any advice would be appreciated.

+9The Service Object Property type of XML allows to the schema of that XML field to be mapped to specific fields within a SmartObject. Attached is a screensho that shows how the single XML property of the ServiceObject can be used to map to multiple SmartObject properties. This dialog basically captures the xpath the the desired element/attribute within the XML.
+3Thanks! I had just heard about this last week. The still unknown part to me is related to the schema. The service object can set a return type of xml that the smart object I can use as you show here. But apparently, it requires a schema to work correctly.
Any idea where you set that schema?

+1Same problem here man. I guess practically you can't do this.
Read the post http://www.k2underground.com/blogs/blackpointtipsandtricks/archive/2009/04/01/using-the-reference-event-wizard.aspx
There you find a place where it says....
Note: The Reference Event Wizard only supports simple data types (integer, string, Boolean, etc) Data sets and other complex structures cannot be used as input/output parameters.
I guess K2 can do only simple type binding. You can't send or receive complex data types.
I too tried the same schema binding process and repeatedly failed.

+9With regards to the ServiceObject XML type within custom servicebrokers, DavidL has posted an project on blackmarket that shows how this can be leveraged:
