WebService

[Djordje Radovanovic]

I am trying new WebService options in NetTalk 8. Obviously I'v got something wrong but not know what.

I am posting from WSDL documentation an example with some values

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
  <soap:Body>
    <dbCustomer xmlns="http://www.capesoft.com">
      <Customer>
        <CUS.ID>888</CUS.ID>
        <CUS.COUNTRYCODE>1</CUS.COUNTRYCODE>
        <CUS.SHIPPERCODE>2</CUS.SHIPPERCODE>
        <CUS.NAME>Djole</CUS.NAME>
      </Customer>
      <Customer_Action>insert</Customer_Action>
    </dbCustomer>
  </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

and receiving after that answer

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<dbCustomer_response>
</dbCustomer_response>

nothing is changed in CUSTOMER.TPS. As I walk through debugger I learn that strxml.load() function nothing get in a queue so nothing could be changed.

Where did I go wrong?

Best regards,

    xml.Load(q:Customer,strxml.GetValuePtr(),'','Customer')

returns nothing in a q:Customer. Posible my XML is not correct but other XML reading software did not complain.

I managed to load queue and my further investigation tells me that deep assignment did not works correctly.
In InsertRecord:Customer routine queue contain values and that values could not be assign to customer record  through deep assignment.

Now I have two problems how to parse XML from soap request and get records in queue and how to transfer data from queue to file records.

All in all in this moment WebService could not be used.

thanks Djordje, I'm making a 8.02 build now for the other bug, but the WebService stuff is also high on the list...

I'll keep you posted.

Cheers

Same test, same result.

Did not update CUSTOMER table.

Correct, the web service stuff is only being updated in 8.03. I've been playing with that today. The problem was caused by a very late change I made to the way the xfiles object is created in that procedure (sigh).

The 8.02 build was primarily to sort out a bug with the caching system.

Just test information. Nothing more...

New version, new test.

After update of StringTheory 2.04 and XFiles 2.51 there is some improvement.

After same request I receive all records from Customer.tps as XML.

Still not able to insert or change any record.

Best reagrds,

First bug is solved.

In database service dbCustomer when you change call in routine PrimeParameters from

    xml.Load(q:Customer,strxml.GetValuePtr(),'','Customer')

into

  xml.Load(q:Customer,strxml.GetValuePtr(),strxml.length(),'','Customer')

queue from posted xml is finally loaded into q:Customer.
Customers table is not updated but that is another issue.
