Mr. Narasimman,
Hello... Thanks for the response. I am not positive I understand what you
mean by the "proxy". I am not using a client proxy that would be created by
something like wsdl.exe. I simply have a client application that has added a
web reference using the Add Reference features of DevStudion 2005. It is
this processes that has imported into my application the namespace org.xTango.
The sample code below is what I use behind a simple Button Event.
// A simple test method to see if my Internet Appliance can authenticate.
// This method abstracts the details from the UI.
public string HandleAuthEvent( string userID, string password )
{
// Create an instance of the web service.
// The web.config defines the target URL for the web service.
// Currently that is
//
http://xTango.org:8008/xTangoWebServ...bServices.asmx
// Don't let the extension of ASMX confuse you the reader. We use the
// MS standard URL extension to make this architecture more familuar to
// OEM vendors/partners. The Web Service is implemented on an Embedded
// system running Tiny OS and a ported version of the GoAhead embedded
// web server for an AtMega RISC based system.
org.xtango.xTangoServices x = new org.xtango.xTangoServices();
// Execute the web service on the appliance
string xResp = x.AuthenticateUser(userID, password);
// If NULL something failed that was not associated with a network error.
if ( xResp == null )
{
xResp = "Web Service response was NULL. Bad news!!";
}
else
{
// Cool. We got something back, report the response to the caller.
// In the real working world this response would be something usfull,
// at this point it is simply a string with the value of True or False.
xResp = string.Format("WebRequest returned {0}", xResp );
}
return xResp;
}
To provide the XML that I linked in the original message I used the Trace
Utility that is part of the Soap Toolkit, a very nice tool by the way.
So... The Web Method AuthenticateUser is indeed returning a response and
the response is encapsulated within the SOAP Envelope as follows:
http://www.kcrismon.com/phaseivengr/...cateuser_2.xml
So... I don't think I have a Client Proxy such as is created with WSDL.EXE
but if that is what I need I most certainly will create one and use that
within my application.
Is that what you would suggest?
BTW: I imlemented a simple brain dead version of this web service using the
DevStudio 2005 C# Web Service project and my application will indeed see real
data but using the Trace Utility as above my response XML from my Embedded
Web Appliance application is returning what appears to be the same exact XML
as what the brain dead Web Service is returning. Some of the HTTP headers
are different but as I understand it the Content-Type: text/xml;
charset=utf-8 is the only header that really can make a difference. I may of
course be wrong and please tell me what HTTP headers are important as part of
the response. My embedded web server can certainly handle what ever headers
are required.
I am at a loss and will appreciate any help you may be able to provide.
If you want more details than this forum can provide please contact me at

Hope all is well with you and hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Ken Crismon,
I don't find any problem with the serialization/deserialization. I think
the problem is at the following WebMethod - AuthenticateUser("kcrismon",
"cccc");
Try debugging this Web Method and make sure that it returns a proper value.
Could you post me the copy of proxy object at the client-end. This will help
me investigate further

Hello,
I am currently working on an embedded systems project where by I have
written a small web server that is being hosted on our internet appliance
(running on an Atmega128 chip and doing lots of col RFID and Mesh network
stuff).
In this example I am trying to get the AuthenticateUser web service to work.
I am using the following WSDL:
http://www.kcrismon.com/phaseivengr/...ebService.wsdl
My SOAP request via a .Net application having consumed the above WSDL is the
following:
http://www.kcrismon.com/phaseivengr/...cateuser_1.xml
The XML SOAP response that my embedded web server generates is:
http://www.kcrismon.com/phaseivengr/...cateuser_2.xml
When I call the webserrvice method using the following code.
org.xtango.xTangoServices x = new org.xtango.xTangoServices();
string xResp = x.AuthenticateUser("kcrismon", "cccc");
if ( xResp == null )
{
Response.Write("Web Request returned NULL");
}
else
{
Response.Write(string.Format("WebRequest returned {0}", xResp );
}
The method always returns a NULL. I have no idea what is going wrong. Are
there any tips regarding the format of my response oor the format of the WSDL
that will help me.
