I tried the following code, but wsCtxt is always null. What step must I take to not get null for the WebServiceContext. In other words: how can I execute the following line to ...
I am developing, a simple SharePoint Sequential Workflow which should be bound to a document library. When associating the little workflow to a document library, I checked these options Allow this workflow to be manually started by an authenticated user with Edit Items Permissions.

I am adding a service reference to one of my projects in Visual Studio 2008. On the "Service Reference Settings" screen I am selecting the default option which says "Reuse types in all referenced assemblies". I have referenced the project for which I want to reuse a type. That type is being passed in as a parameter to a web method. Ho...
I have some code I've written in PHP for consuming our simple webservice, which I'd also like to provide in Perl for users who may prefer that language. What's the simplest method of making a HTTP request to do that? In PHP I can do it in one line with file_get_contents(). Here's the entire code I want to port to Perl: /** * Makes a r...
I've been a longtime ASP.NET developer in the web forms model, and am using a new project as an opportunity to get my feet wet with ASP.NET MVC. The application will need an API so that a group of other apps can communicate with it. I've always built API's out just using a standard web service prior to this. As a sidenote, I'm a littl...
I have created a timeclock application in C# that connects to a web service on our server in order to clock employees in/out. The application resides in the system tray and clocks users out if they shut down/suspend their machines or if they are idle for more than three hours to which it clocks them out at the time of last activity. My ...
I apologize if this is slightly off-topic. I'm hoping to find a software-as-a-service CRM system that can be easily integrated with our custom user management application. Fundamentally, we have user our own accounts and provide services to these registered users; frequently, we have email conversations with people that own these accou...
Haven't done ASP.NET development since VS 2003, so I'd like to save some time and learn from other's mistakes. Writing a web services app, but not a WSDL/SOAP/etc. -- more like REST + XML. Which of the many "New Item" options (Web Form, Generic Handler, ASP.NET Handler, etc.) makes the most sense if I want to handle different HTTP ve...
I have an ASP.NET web service which does some heavy lifting, like say,some file operations, or generating Excel Sheets from a bunch of crystal reports. I don't want to be blocked by calling this web service, so i want to make the web service call asynchronous. Also, I want to call this web service from a web page, and want some mechanism...
I've seen several products that will track the sales rank of an item on Amazon. Does Amazon have any web-services published that I can use to get the sales rank of a particular item? I've looked through the AWS and didn't see anything of that nature. ...
I have a simple web service, it takes 2 parameters one is a simple xml security token, the other is usually a long xml string. It works with short strings but longer strings give a 400 error message. maxMessageLength did nothing to allow for longer strings. ...
Do you think its a good idea to put our application specific metadata in the SOAP header? E.g. In our organization, we want to track each message as it passes through various services, I want to track service path (just like TCP) to know which all services processed the message etc. For all this, currently we are defining our own messag...
I have a web service which takes quite some time to complete execution, and i am calling this web service asynchronously. I also want to implement an Abort functionality which will abort the web service method. Currently, i am observing that even if I dispose the requesting Web Service object, the web service completes it's execution in ...
I'm just meddling in the ways of the RESTful web service in C# using ASP.Net 2.0 and have managed (via a class library, a reference to dll produced by the former and some adjustment of my web.config) to coax out a URI format like so: http: //localhost/DevelopmentProject/testhandler/?input=thisismyinput Which unremarkably just returns ...
We've got some problems with an external company trying in integrate into a WCF service we expose and they are a Java shop. I was wondering if there are more than one toolkit that they can try to solve their issues and would like a list to suggest to them but I'm not familiar with the Java world at all. Essentially they've got some memo...
I've added cookie support to SOAPpy by overriding HTTPTransport. I need functionality beyond that of SOAPpy, so I was planning on moving to ZSI, but I can't figure out how to put the Cookies on the ZSI posts made to the service. Without these cookies, the server will think it is an unauthorized request and it will fail. How can I add ...

I have a simple web app that runs inside Tomcat. I need to call a web service from this web app and I'm not sure how to go about it.
