Third party web services "object not set to an instance of an object"

aaa

I am using a third party provider for Travel related web services. These
services are not very well documented and I am having to wing my way thru
nearly every one.

Some I can pull data from just fine others bomb when assigning criteria to
the body of it's request object ("object not set to an instance of an
object").

I am essentially creating nodes programatically to buld the XML that gets
pumped to the SOAP call. Has anyone run across a simi.ar problem. I am
creating the criteria "objects" so the error is not extremely helpful and I
feel that I am missing something simple.

I have run into this error message a number of times. Every time I have
tracked it down to 1 of 2 things:
1. A catch statement that tries to trap an error that is not available, for
example, and exception innerexception. message, which may not necessarily be
available,
or
2. A completely unhandled exception in the code.

If I understand you correctly, this is probably not much help since you
do not have direct access to the code.

You could try 2 things, run your program in "debug" mode to see if it
sheds some light on the error, or try to use the reflection classes to view
what is in the code.

PEAR::SOAP - Server returns only "Object" as answer

by: Arne Kösling | last post by:

Hi ! I am new to Web Services. Therefore I ve set up a PHP Installation on Windows (PHP 4.3.2 and Apache 1.3.29). I have tested PHP alone and then installed PEAR. Now I am stuck there (Before that, I had many problems with the PHP-dlls) I've set up several SOAP Testscripts that I found on WebSites and in PHP-Books to get a PHP Client and a PHP Server communicate over Web Services (using PEAR::SOAP).

Remoting object - "Requested Service Not Found"

by: Steve Lutz | last post by:

Hi All, I have a Windows Service that runs well. The service hosts a remote object. The purpose of the object is so that I can "peak" into the service to see what it's doing. I wrote a small Windows Application that connects to the remote object and prints out status information. Everything works fine when I first start the service. However, after some period, when I attempt to connect to the remote object, I get "Requested Service not...

Can someone explain the "object instance" term that is used i many of C# books? I have C++ background. In C++ instance and object meant the same.

Hello all, Working on a W2K3 box with Framework version 1.1.4322 here. I've implemented a Web service in VB.NET by generating a server skeleton off the WSDL and overriding the abstract class. This Web service operates correctly. To conform to standards set by our group recently, I reworked the WSDL to reflect namespace changes and reimplemented the service in both VB.NET and C# (as neither work now). When compared, the only...

The easy way to turn off automatic updates for Windows 10/11

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
