Documentation::getGroups

Method returns list of groups. Parent, which is some kind of top level root, should be requested by the client.

Optional input parameter is a 3D array of xsd:token, which contains valid parent identifications and selected language of xsd:language (see ISO 639 for details). Default language is czech (cs), if none selected.

Output is a multidimensional array (struct) of tns:groups, containing xsd:token (twice), xsd:string and one xsd:boolean, group identifications, optional parent identifications and group names.

Limits

Method accepts array with only language (or empty request) selected for some authorized clients. This results to output of full list of all available groups. Any authorized client should send an array with one parent and a language, which is much faster.

Fault codes

Method returns SOAP fault (according to SOAP Version 1.2, section 2.3 Fault Scenarios) on failure or when no data found for client request. Database error may be returned with specific error prefix, when database is not ready or something unwanted happens.
