How to call a .NET web service from Blackberry Simulator?

Question

Hi, I have to call a .NET web service (http://192 .168.1.14/ CG/authentication.asmx)from the Blackberry Simulator.Already i have done it in Android with KSOAP2, but i have no idea about how to do this in Blackberry.Can i use KSOAP2 in Blackberry?If i can please give some code snippets.Also please tell if you know any other ways to do this.

Answer 1

I've not used KSOAP2 before but I know that you can use it for Blackberry.

To call web services I use the Sun Java Wireless Toolkit (WTK) to generate stubs from your webservice's WSDL file, which should probably be http://192.168.1.14/ CG/authentication.asmx?wsdl for you.

You can then import the files that the WTK generates into your project to call your web methods using something along the lines of:

//Generated stub file
Service1Soap_Stub stub = new Service1Soap_Stub();

//Web service method
result = stub.methodName(param1, param2);

Answer 2

You can use KSOAP2 libraries in blackberry. A very good tutorial can be found at the following link.

You can follow it and consume the webservice.

Have nice programming, PraveenG

Alternatively you can use SAX and the standard J2ME libs. The following link is a good tutorial on how to accomplish this: http://www.simplified-tech.com/website/webapp.nsf/webpages/ArticlesBBWebServices

Answer 4

You can look at WSClient++ which generates code that is free from reflection and ideal for mobile platforms.
