Tracking the success of SOAP calls

[A.M-SG]

Hi,

We are developing a SmartClient application and we are planning to expose
business objects layer to SmartClient application by using ASP.NET SOAP web
services.

The client can send different found transfer request to different web
services.

The problem is upon any interruption (such as power or network outage ** at
the client side **) during the soap call, there is no mechanism for the
client to track whether the SOAP call went successful or not. We are
thinking to use SOAP extensions to track important SOAP web methods; however
we are not sure that we are taking the right approach.

Are there any best practices for remote clients to track the success of
previous SOAP calls after an un-expected shutdown?

Any help would be appreciated,

Alan

Hi Alan,

Welcome to MSDN newsgroup.
Regarding on the how to tracking the success of webservice SOAP calls
question, here are some of my understanding and suggestions:

For XML webservice, it is actually exchanged(betwe en client and server)
through plain xml message(soap format). And when a certain webservice/soap
operations fails, the serverside will generate a <soap:fault> element in
the response message so as to indicate the client that any error occur in
the operation. And for the clientside, the webservice proxy need to raise
proper exception according to the <soap:fault> element's content.

Then, for our scenario, if we'd like to make a centrallized facade to do
the success tracing, I think we can manually parse each response SOAP
message to see whether any soap:fault element exists in the response
message. In .net, the SoapExtension is a good approach, we can use it in
both serverside or clientside for tracing outgoing or incoming message.

Thanks,

Hi Alan,

Of course, there're many good tech articles in MSDN discussing on how to
apply soapExtension in asp.net webservice. here is some:

#Fun with SOAP Extensions
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...001.asp?frame=
true

#Extend the ASP.NET WebMethod Framework by Adding XML Schema Validation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...tion/default.a
spx

#Using SOAP Extensions in ASP.NET
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...n/default.aspx

Also, I'm not sure whether you've kept an eye on the WSE(Webservice
enchancement), which has provided advanced features for serve/consume XML
Webservice on .net platform, and WSE's fundamental (at serverside) is just
based on a custom SoapExtension. If you have interests, you can also have a
look.

Hope helps. Thanks,

Hi,

We are developing a SmartClient application and we are planning to expose
business objects layer to SmartClient application by using ASP.NET SOAP
web
services.

The client can send different found transfer request to different web
services.

The problem is upon any interruption (such as power or network outage **
at
the client side **) during the soap call, there is no mechanism for the
client to track whether the SOAP call went successful or not. We are
thinking to use SOAP extensions to track important SOAP web methods;
however
we are not sure that we are taking the right approach.

Are there any best practices for remote clients to track the success of
previous SOAP calls after an un-expected shutdown?

Any help would be appreciated,

Hi Alan,

Of course, there're many good tech articles in MSDN discussing on how to
apply soapExtension in asp.net webservice. here is some:

#Fun with SOAP Extensions
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en...001.asp?frame= true

#Extend the ASP.NET WebMethod Framework by Adding XML Schema Validation
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...tion/default.a spx

#Using SOAP Extensions in ASP.NET
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/is...n/default.aspx

Also, I'm not sure whether you've kept an eye on the WSE(Webservice
enchancement), which has provided advanced features for serve/consume XML
Webservice on .net platform, and WSE's fundamental (at serverside) is just
based on a custom SoapExtension. If you have interests, you can also have
a
look.

Hope helps. Thanks,

Hi Steven,

Do you kow any article or white paper that explains how to track SOAP
calls
with SOAP extentions?

Thank you for help
Alan

Hi Alan,

Welcome to MSDN newsgroup.
Regarding on the how to tracking the success of webservice SOAP calls
question, here are some of my understanding and suggestions:

For XML webservice, it is actually exchanged(betwe en client and server)
through plain xml message(soap format). And when a certain
webservice/soap
operations fails, the serverside will generate a <soap:fault> element in
the response message so as to indicate the client that any error occur in
the operation. And for the clientside, the webservice proxy need to raise
proper exception according to the <soap:fault> element's content.

Then, for our scenario, if we'd like to make a centrallized facade to do
the success tracing, I think we can manually parse each response SOAP
message to see whether any soap:fault element exists in the response
message. In .net, the SoapExtension is a good approach, we can use it in
both serverside or clientside for tracing outgoing or incoming message.

Thanks,

Hi,

We are developing a SmartClient application and we are planning to expose
business objects layer to SmartClient application by using ASP.NET SOAP
web
services.

The client can send different found transfer request to different web
services.

The problem is upon any interruption (such as power or network outage **
at
the client side **) during the soap call, there is no mechanism for the
client to track whether the SOAP call went successful or not. We are
thinking to use SOAP extensions to track important SOAP web methods;
however
we are not sure that we are taking the right approach.

Are there any best practices for remote clients to track the success of
previous SOAP calls after an un-expected shutdown?

Any help would be appreciated,

Alan
