Hey,

I’m trying to make a java program that acts as a kind of middleware. It reads structures from a TwinCAT OPC UA server, puts their values into a JSON and sends it to an other server.

For testing I created in the PLC a sample struct with two variables: https://ibb.co/mmRZ9k
If I read the node, the DataValue is a ExtensionObject with binary encoding. The values of the structure variables (bVar1 and fVar2) should be read and put into a JSON object. So the result is something like this:
{
“bVar1” : false
“fVar2” : 0
}
The structure above is just an example. The structures to be read are only known at runtime.

My Problem is that I don’t know how to decode the binary ExtensionObject to get access to the values of the structure variables.

Unfortunately, the current version of the Client Java SDK is not capable of decoding custom structures. Work is on the way to add support for this in the next release. If you contact us by email, we can see if we could provide you something to try out a bit sooner.
