if I want to use the following Web service (help.be is just an example, let's say it does exist): http://www.help.be/webservice/webservice_help.php (it's written in PHP=client's choice, not .NET) with the following WSDL :

What is the correct SOAP_ACTION, METHOD_NAME, NAMESPACE, URL I should use below ?

I've tried with this :

public class Main extends Activity {
/** Called when the activity is first created. */

private static final String SOAP_ACTION_GETLOCATION = "getLocation";
private static final String METHOD_NAME_GETLOCATION = "getLocation";            
private static final String NAMESPACE = "http://www.help.be/webservice/";
private static final String URL = "http://www.help.be/webservice/webservice_help.php";

TextView tv;

@SuppressWarnings("unchecked")
@Override
public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);
    setContentView(R.layout.main);

    tv = (TextView)findViewById(R.id.TextView01);

    // --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    SoapObject request_location = new SoapObject(NAMESPACE, METHOD_NAME_GETLOCATION);       
    request_location.addProperty("login", "login");         // -> string required 
    request_location.addProperty("password", "password");   // -> string required
    request_location.addProperty("serial", "serial");       // -> string required
    request_location.addProperty("language", "fr");         // -> string required (available « fr,nl,uk,de ») 
    request_location.addProperty("keyword", "Braine");      // -> string required

    // --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    SoapSerializationEnvelope soapEnvelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
    //soapEnvelope.dotNet = true;                           // don't forget it for .NET WebServices !
    soapEnvelope.setOutputSoapObject(request_location);


    AndroidHttpTransport aht = new AndroidHttpTransport(URL);

    try { 
        aht.call(SOAP_ACTION_GETLOCATION, soapEnvelope); 

        // Get the SAOP Envelope back and then extract the body 
        SoapObject resultsRequestSOAP = (SoapObject) soapEnvelope.bodyIn; 

        Vector XXXX = (Vector) resultsRequestSOAP.getProperty("GetLocationResponse"); 

        int vector_size = XXXX.size(); 
        Log.i("Hub", "testat="+vector_size);

        tv.setText("OK");  

    } catch(Exception E) { 
        tv.setText("ERROR:" + E.getClass().getName() + ": " + E.getMessage());
        Log.i("Hub", "Exception E");
        Log.i("Hub", "E.getClass().getName()="+E.getClass().getName()); 
        Log.i("Hub", "E.getMessage()="+E.getMessage()); 
    } 
    // --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

}

}

I'm not sure of the SOAP_ACTION, METHOD_NAME, NAMESPACE, URL I have to use? because soapAction is pointing to a URN instead of a traditional URL and it's PHP and not .NET ...

also, I'm not sure if I have to use request_location.addProperty("login", "login");
of request_location.addAttribute("login", "login"); ?

=>

<message name="GetLocationRequest">
<part name="input" type="xsd:array"/>

What would you say ?

Txs for your help.

EDIT : Here is some code working in PHP - I simply want to have the same but in Android/JAVA :

<?php

ini_set("soap.wsdl_cache_enabled", "0"); // disabling WSDL cache 

$request['login'] = 'login';
$request['password'] = 'password';
$request['serial'] = 'serial';
$request['language'] = 'fr';

  $client= new SoapClient("http://www.test.be/webservice/webservice_test.wsdl");    

print_r( $client->__getFunctions());

?><hr><h1>getLocation</h1>
<h2>Input:</h2>
<?
$request['keyword'] = 'Bruxelles';
print_r($request);
?><h2>Result</h2><?
 $result = $client->getLocation($request);
 print_r($result);

?>

Hi, Here's a sample...

String SOAP_ACTION = "http://tempuri.org/Add"; 
        String METHOD_NAME = "Add"; 
        String NAMESPACE = "http://tempuri.org/"; 
        String URL = "http://www.html2xml.nl/Services/Calculator/Version1/Calculator.asmx"; 

The wsdl for the above example can be found at : http://www.html2xml.nl/Services/Calculator/Version1/Calculator.asmx?WSDL

In your case, METHOD_NAME = "getStationDetail" or METHOD_NAME = "getStationList" or METHOD_NAME = "getLocation"
