I am trying to call an ASMX from jQuery using JSON and get a SOAP error response.
What am I doing wrong?!
This is my jQuery call:
$.ajax({
type: "POST",
url: '/Services/TeamPerson.asmx',
contentType: "application/json; charset=utf-8",
data: {'active':false, 'team_id':team_id, 'player_id':player_id},
dataType: "json",
success: function(msg) {
alert(msg);
},
error: function(xhr, msg) { alert(msg + '\n' + xhr.responseText); }
});
This is my web service:
[WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
[ToolboxItem(false)]
[ScriptService]
public class TeamPerson : WebService
{
[WebMethod]
[ScriptMethod(ResponseFormat = ResponseFormat.Json)]
public void SetPlayerStatus(bool active, ulong team_id, ulong player_id)
{
// blah blah
}
}
I get a nasty SOAP error back:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

I can hit /Services/TeamPerson.asmx
via my browser and the web method works fine. I also have the following defined in web.config:
