SOAP Help

[MR]

I am in dire need of help in trying to get the client code for a web
service to work. i don't have a WSDL for the service so i created my own
ASP.NET service to test with. i converted the DTD files that i was given to
xsd files and used the xsd tool to create the classes. i used those classes
to create the parameters for the web method defined as follows:

[WebMethod]

publicSchema.submitOrderBatchResponse
submitOrderBatch(Schema.submitOrderBatch sob)

{

Schema.submitOrderBatchResponse sbor = new
Schema.submitOrderBatchResponse();

return sbor;
}

The proxy code is generated as:

[System.Diagnostics.DebuggerStepThroughAttribute()]

[System.ComponentModel.DesignerCategoryAttribute("c ode")]

[System.Web.Services.WebServiceBindingAttribute(Nam e="OrderOperationsSoap",
Namespace="http://tempuri.org/")]

public class OrderOperations :
System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtoc ol {
/// <remarks/>

public OrderOperations() {

this.Url = "http://localhost/Emulator/Emulator.asmx";

}
/// <remarks/>

[System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapDocumentMethodAt tribute("http://tempuri.org/submitOrderBatch",
RequestNamespace="http://tempuri.org/",
ResponseNamespace="http://tempuri.org/",
Use=System.Web.Services.Description.SoapBindingUse .Literal,
ParameterStyle=System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapP arameterStyle.Wrapped)]

[return:
System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(Names pace="http://tempuri.org/submitOrderBatchResponse.xs")]

public submitOrderBatchResponse
submitOrderBatch([System.Xml.Serialization.XmlElementAttribute(Names pace="http://tempuri.org/submitOrderBatch.xs")]
submitOrderBatch sob) {

object[] results = this.Invoke("submitOrderBatch", new object[] {sob});

return ((submitOrderBatchResponse)(results[0]));



my client code works on the local host but when i go out to the real
service it fails.

i created the client in VS.NET 2003 and am referencing the web service that
i created.

I compared the logs of what i am sending to what i am supposed to send and
the SOAP headers appear to be missing some info and some of the tags are
wrong:

This is what is being sent from the proxy

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"

xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

<soap:Body>

<submitOrderBatch xmlns="urn:OrderOperations">

<sob CustomerBatchID="122" xmlns="http://tempuri.org/submitOrderBatch.xs">

<Customer CustomerID="1097" OrderSource="NVL TEST CUSTOMER (CUSTOMER)" />
<Orders> . . .

This is what i should be sending in the body

<ns1:submitOrderBatch xmlns:ns1="urn:OrderOperations"

SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap/literalxml">

<orderBatchElement>

1) why does the first line show up? (?xml version ... etc.)

2) how can i get the correct SOAP headers?

3) how do i get the correct tags? ns1:submitOrderBatch
xmlns:ns1="urn:OrderOperations" instead of
xmlns="http://tempuri.org/submitOrderBatch.xs">

thanks very much

Hello,

I think the problem should be that you generate the client proxy with your
web service, not the actual one, Is your actual web service an ASP.NET web
service? if so, maybe you can try wsdl.exe to generate the client code:

that is problem. the actual site is not an ASP.NET service. it runs on an
apache server and does not have a wsdl doc. so i cannot generate the client
code. i cannot use disco.exe or wsdl.exe on that site.
i think i need to know how to set the attributes so that the SOAP message is
formatted correctly according to their requirements

Can you contact the owner of the web service and have them provide a WSDL
file? This should be the best solution for the issue.

of course i've already tried that. it doesn't exist and thus is not
available

Hello,

Maybe you can try Soap Toolkit 3.0, it will send the soap message like:

SOAP-ENV:Envelope

Here is the link for download it:

it seems that the toolkit requires a wsdl document. i don't have one and
can't get one. is there another way?

You may try consume the remote web service with local WSDL file. Anyway, I
cannot guarantee this will be successful.
