What's the best python soap stack for consuming Amazon Web Services WSDL?

Python has a number of soap stacks; as near as I can tell, all have substantial defects. Has anyone had luck consuming and using WSDL for S3, EC2, and SQS in python? My experience is that suds fails when constructing a Client object; after some wrangling, ZSI generates client code that doesn't work; etc. Finally, I'm aware of boto but...

How do I fix a Binding Failure in Soap?

I reloaded an old project, and tried to run it only to run into the Binding Failure MDA Assistant: BindingFailure was detected Message: The assembly with display name 'SoapTest.XmlSerializers' failed to load in the 'LoadFrom' binding context of the AppDomain with ID 1. The cause of the failure was: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: C...

Error handling using Soap Headers

We are developing a new web service and are looking into the "best practice" for returning errors in the soap response. We were looking into creating a error response object which every response would contain as a property. This seems a little heavy however and are wondering if it is possible to use the SOAP header to carry this info...

Can XFire SOAP server send HTTP 301 REDIRECT to client?

Is it possible to send a HTTP REDIRECT response from inside the XFire SOAP server instead of a regular response? I need this in order to redirect the client to another server based on some checking of method parameters. Also, is redirect handling something that major SOAP clients support? I know HttpClient does, but I'm not sure about ...

How do I interpret a WSDL with references to a namespace java: on a non-java client?

I'm trying to integrate against a SOAP web service, running on Apache Axis. The WSDL specifies a namespace with a URI, that looks like: <xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:stns="java:dk.tdc.serviceproviderweb.datatypes" elementFormDefault="qualified" attributeFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="...

How do I prevent DateTime from including zone offset in SOAP xsd:dateTime element?

I have this in some WSDL: <element name="startDate" type="xsd:dateTime"/> <element name="endDate" type="xsd:dateTime"/> Which results in the following text in the SOAP envelope: <startDate>2008-10-29T12:01:05</endDate> <endDate>2008-10-29T12:38:59.65625-04:00</endDate> Only some times have the milliseconds and zone offset. This cau...

Leveraging SOAP in Classic ASP

Clarification: this is not about user agent calls to pages, but Classic ASP calling ASP.NET! I have applications that are midway through a transition from Classic ASP to ASP.NET. There are a half million lines of code, so a complete rewrite of everything at once was simply not plausible, or frankly prudent considering that the vast ...

choosing a SOAP library to integrate with ISAPI webapp

Hi, The company I work for has a large webapp written in C++ as an ISAPI extension (not a filter). We're currently enhancing our system to integrate with several 3rd party tools that have SOAP interfaces. Rather than roll our own, I think it would probably be best if we used some SOAP library. Ideally, it would be free and open source...

How do I get access to SOAP response

(If anything here needs clarification/ more detail please let me know.) I have an application (C#, 2.* framework) that interfaces with a third-party webservice using SOAP. I used thinktecture's WSCF add-in against a supplied WSDL to create the client-side implementation. For reasons beyond my control the SOAP message exchange uses WSE2...

calling Axis2 web service from ATL C++ client

I have a simple POJO web service published with Axis2 on Tomcat5.5 I try to consume it with ATL C++ client and it fails. Doing the same with a C# client works. The problem is that ATL client sends soap body which looks like <soap:Body>< xmlns="http://fa.test.com/xsd"&gt;&lt;/&gt;&lt;/soap:Body&gt;&lt;/soap:Envelope&gt; Notice the in...

Passing params in the URL when using HTTP POST

Is it allowable to pass parameters to a web page through the URL (after the question mark) when using the POST method? I know that it works (most of the time, anyways) because my company's webapp does it often, but I don't know if it's actually supported in the standard or if I can rely on this behavior. I'm considering implementing a ...

Generating a WSDL using Python and SOAPpy

First of all, I will admit I am a novice to web services, although I'm familiar with HTML and basic web stuff. I created a quick-and-dirty web service using Python that calls a stored procedure in a MySQL database, that simply returns a BIGINT value. I want to return this value in the web service, and I want to generate a WSDL that I c...

WCF over HTTPS with PHP throws "Method Not Allowed" exception

I've created a .NET WCF service that is intended to always be over HTTPS. When I first created the service skeleton and ran it over HTTP, it worked fine. I used PHP5 to test the interoperability with the built in SOAP functions. However, once I switched to HTTPS, when I try to call the function from PHP, I get a fault back with the messa...

Using WCF to send a signed Request and receive an unsigned Response

I'm working with a .NET dev team who are trying to interface with a web service that uses WS-Security, and although the service requires signed requests it only returns unsigned responses. The team knows of a way to call the service using WSE, but they're required to use WCF, so can anyone suggest how to configure WCF to send signed req...

SOAP Client in C# without access to a WSDL-file

I'm working with a third party to integrate some of our systems with theirs and they provide us with a SOAP interface to make certain requests and changes in their connected systems. The problem for me is that they do not supply a WSDL-file for me to work against. If I had a WSDL-file it would be a simple matter just to run the supplied ...

Why is SSRS ignoring data from certain columns returned by a web method?

I'm using the XML data source feature in Reporting Services 2005 but having some issues with missing data. When there is no value for the first column in a row, it appears that the entire column is ignored by SSRS! The web method request is very simple: <Query> <Method Name="GetIssues" Namespace="http://www.mycompany.com/App/"&gt; ...

JIRA SOAP API documenation?

I'm building some custom tools to work against a JIRA install, and the exposed SOAP API is great, except that none of the arguments are named. For example, the prototype for getIssue is: RemoteIssue getIssue (string in0, string in1); All of the SOAP RPC methods follow this convention, so without documentation I'm pretty hardpressed t...

Looking for lightweight java stack for creating SOAP based web services.

I'm probably going to be using Tomcat and the Apache Axis webapp plugin, but I'm curious as to any other potential lightweight solutions. The main goal of this is to connect to MySQL database for doing some demos. Thanks, Todd ...

WSDL best practices

Hi, I'm developing a SOAP application that integrates with a 3rd party. I think the WSDL of this third party is very strange. I'm pretty new to SOAP, so I don't want to go asking them to fix it if it isn't broken. Here's some things I've noticed that I consider wrong about it, though I'm sure it's technically a valid document (hence t...
