Hi All,
I have the below requirement and would like to get some feeback from the
group on the best way to implement:
1. I have WSDL defined exposing few web services.
2. We dont have a requirement to have a server web service class. (reasons
below)
3. I want to develop something like this - when client makes a web service
call, on the server I can intercept the SOAP message (XML doc itself),
inspect some headers and then get the SOAP body and then pass on the body
(XML) to a method in another class. As you can see, there is no use of having
a ASP.NET server class, since all my web services have to be dealt in the
same way (i.e get the body xml and call the same method on the same class
passing the xml).
4. What we are trying to avoid, is the unecessary serialization and
deserialization that happens when web service call has to be converted to a
service class method object and etc.
Given this, one of the ways to do it is to have a custom httphandler
(registered in web.config) and get the http request stream in the handler
class, inspect it and pass on the body. This would imply that when the
handler class receive the response back, then it would have to manually
create the SOAP response XML, which would mean that the handler should
maintain the request that came in and map the request to response etc.
So finally my question....is it possible to do this another way, leveraging
the ASP.NET infrastructure (creating soap response, faults etc), but without
the additional serialization, deserialization overhead?
If you have read till here, thanks for your patience 8 3457
Actually it turns out this is quite simple. Just use a normal web method, but
type its (one) parameter as [XmlAnyElement] XmlNode [] theBodyStuff.
Now the direct children of your <soap:body> element will be directly morphed
into the XmlNode array without deserialization .
You can process soap header like normal. Here is a prototype of a webmethod
which should do what you want. It takes any body without deserialization and
allows you to touch any header sent to it:
public class CFlexservice
{
public SoapUnknownHead er[] _theHeaders;
[WebMethod]
[SoapHeader("_th eHeaders", Direction=SoapH eaderDirection. InOut)]
[return:XmlAnyEl ement]
public XmlNode [] FlexMethod([XmlAnyElement] XmlNode [] _bodyStuff)
{
// ... your stuff here ...
}
}
BTW, I typed this by heart, so don't trust me ;-)

My web services defined in WSDL will look like this (represented in .NET

CreateSalesOrde r(SalesOrder)
CreatePurchaseO rder(PurchaseOr der) etc.

Hello Henk,
That will work provided you only have one soap action i.e. FlexMethod in
this case. However try using WSE 2.0 and use the soap receiver that can accept
any input and any action. Either way you would need to do what WSE does behind
the scenes ;)

Use SoapExtension class and override othe ProcessMessage method, take a
lookt at the MSDN documentation for details
// then you can write your method someting like this, preserving the WSDL
[MyOwnSoapExtens ionAttribute]
[WebMethod]
public SalesOrderRespo nse CreateSalesOrde r(SalesOrder);

Well, the question was if it could be done using the aspnet pipeline ... I
agree you can do other stuff with WSE2, and you know what, with Indigo you
can ditch the web server entirely ;-)
Anyhow, you *can* expose multiple methods using the anyElement technique, as
long as you are willing to write the WSDL by hand (or tool, or create
skeleton webmethods first, capture the generated WSDL and then replace the
skeletons by corresponding any methods). The contract can be more strongly
typed than the implementation (or better, the typing can be enforced by
something else than the plumbing).
Remember that the only thing that determins delivery of a soap request to an
endpoint is the method name (in fact, the lack of support for overloading is
one of the big struggles in WSDL2 right now).

Exactly my point!
<snip>
I am looking at a trace of a wsdl generated proxy that goes to the following
webmethods:
[WebMethod]
[SoapHeader("_my Headers", Direction=SoapH eaderDirection. InOut)]
[return:XmlAnyEl ementAttribute]
public XmlNode [] AnyMethod1([XmlAnyElement] XmlNode [] body)
{
body[0].InnerText = "Bye bye";
return body;
}
[WebMethod]
[SoapHeader("_my Headers", Direction=SoapH eaderDirection. InOut)]
[return:XmlAnyEl ementAttribute]
public XmlNode [] AnyMethod2([XmlAnyElement] XmlNode [] body)
{
return body;
}
So, I rather believe my own eyes than your remarks ;-). I stick to my point:
you *can* do multiple anyElement webmethods (as long as you give them
different names). What makes you believe this would be impossible ?

Hello Henk,
Not to start an email war.. but i think we misunderstood each other.
What I tried to say was you cannot have multiple soap actions being handled
by the same web method with XmlAnyElement :) This is by virtue of the fact
that the soap action is infered from the method name if the action (SoapDocumentMe thod)Attribute
is not specified. You can by all means create as many methods as you want...
and all day. However it doesnt address the original problem
