It's 2008, and I'm still torn on this one. So I'm developing a web method that needs a complex type passed into it and returned from it. The two options I'm toying with are: Pass and return actual business objects with both data and behavior. When wsdl.exe is run, it will automatically create proxy classes that contain just the data...
I have a .net web application that has a Flex application embedded within a page. This flex application calls a .net webservice. I can trace the execution proccess through the debugger and all looks great until I get the response: soap:ReceiverSystem.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapException: Server was unable to process request . ---> S...
When I wanted to learn SOAP I looked around for tutorials. There are plenty out there, and they all say that they've created an example web service that you can use to test your "My First SOAP Client" app. Unfortunately, all of the sample web services I found have long since gone offline, making the test programs useless. Can anyone r...
I have an ASP.NET webservice with along the lines of: [WebService(Namespace = "http://internalservice.net/messageprocessing")] [WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)] [ToolboxItem(false)] public class ProvisioningService : WebService { [WebMethod] public XmlDocument ProcessMessage(XmlDocument message) {...
Typical scenario. We use old-school XML Web Services internally for communicating between a server farm and several distributed and local clients. No third parties involved, only our own applications used by ourselves and our customers. We're currently pondering moving from XML WS to a WCF/object-based model and have been experimenting ...
I have a web service that I created in C# and a test harness that was provided by my client. Unfortunately my web service doesn't seem to be parsing the objects created by the test harness. I believe the problem lies with serializing the soap packet. Using TCPTrace I was able to get the soap packet passed to the web service but only on...
Does anyone have links to documentation or guides on making the decision between REST vs. SOAP? I understand both of these but am looking for some references on the key decision points, eg, security, which may make you lean towards one or the other. ...
I have a medium sized application that runs as a .net web-service which I do not control, and I want to create a loose pythonic API above it to enable easy scripting. I wanted to know what is the best/most practical solution for using web-services in python. Edit: I need to consume a complex soap WS and I have no control over it. ...
When setting up a new virtual directory for hosting a SOAP web service in IIS 6.0 on a Server 2003 box I am required to set the access permissions for the virtual directory. The various permissions are to allow/disallow the following: Read Run scripts (such as ASP) Execute (such as ISAPI or CGI) Write Browse The SOAP web service is ...
I have a simple web service operation like this one: [WebMethod] public string HelloWorld() { throw new Exception("HelloWorldException"); return "Hello World"; } And then I have a client application that consumes the web service and then calls the operation. Obviously it will throw an exception :-) ...
I've got a problem where incoming SOAP messages from one particular client are being marked as invalid and rejected by our XML firewall device. It appears extra payload data is being inserted by Visual Studio; we're thinking the extra data may be causing a problem b/c we're seeing "VsDebuggerCausalityData" in these messages but not in ot...
Hi all We are trying to create a web-service that we plan to pass a variable amount of variables to it. Can this be done? Basically instead of pass all possible parameters we wish to pass only the set values and use the defaults set in the web-service. Here is an example of the XML we are looking to send, we would sent an unknown amo...
Are people still writing SOAP services or is it a technology that has passed its architectural shelf life? Are people returning to binary formats? ...
When coding web services, how do you structure your return values? How do you handle error conditions (expected ones and unexpected ones)? If you are returning something simple like an int, do you just return it, or embed it in a more complex object? Do all of the web methods within one service return an instance of a single class, or...
A client of mine has asked me to integrate a 3rd party API into their Rails app. The only problem is that the API uses SOAP. Ruby has basically dropped SOAP in favor of REST. They provide a Java adapter that apparently works with the Java-Ruby bridge, but we'd like to keep it all in Ruby, if possible. I looked into soap4r, but it see...
Hello, I'm looking for a tool to generate a JavaScript stub from a WSDL. Although I usually prefer to use REST services with JSON or XML, there are some tools I am currently integrating that works only using SOAP. I already created a first version of the client in JavaScript but I'm parsing the SOAP envelope by hand and I doubt that my...
I have a C++ app that needs to connect to a JAVA web app, are there any good, open source SOAP packages for this, or would it be easier to just roll my own? ...
I have an internal enterprise app that currently consumes 10 different web services. They're consumed via old style "Web References" instead of using WCF. The problem I'm having is trying to work with the other teams in the company who are authoring the services I'm consuming. I found I needed to capture the exact SOAP messages that I'm...

I am receiving SOAP requests from a client that uses the Axis 1.4 libraries. The requests have the following form: <soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <soa...
