Web Services from ASP

[Jimbo]

Hi,

I have a .net web service which has a method that takes an xml string as its
argument. I want to call this webservice method from ASP (classic) using a
mehtod other than the SOAP toolkit.

Can it be done simply by using the MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP object? If so, how
do I specify the arguments to my method.

Service is e.g. http://a.b.c/service.asmx
Method is method
parameter is p1
argument is a1

Many thanks for any help on this,

Jimbo

Use the SOAP toolkit. If you can't use the SOAP toolkit on the real
server then for a start use it on your development server and have a
look at the SOAP request it generates (SOAP is XML), then make sure you
send that XML with

MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP and its send method. You also need to set the SOAP
action as a HTTP request header with the setRequestHeader method before
you call send.

Martin,

That's great, thanks. I can now communicate with my service correctly.

I have one further problem. One of the parameters to my service is a string
which is actually an xml document. This is giving me a problem when I send
using MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP because SOAP doesn't like the special characters
in the xml of the variable xmlVariable as below;

<xmlVariable>string</xmlVariable>

Is there a way of sending this variable without causing such problems.

Many thanks,

Jimbo.

OK,

I've sorted this using a DOMDocument object.
