Re: Initiating SOAP Request from RPG Using Sockets

Here is one from our getVersion service:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<soap:Envelope
   xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope";
   soap:encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-encoding";>

 <soap:Body xmlns:m="http://xxx.xxx.xxx/xxx";>
   <m:getVersion>
   </m:getVersion>
 </soap:Body>

</soap:Envelope>

Hi All:



We're currently trying to initiate a SOAP request to a document based
Web Service running on a WebLogic8 server.  We are attempting to build
this SOAP message on-the-fly, piecing it together as a String.  We then
use Scott Klement's socket programs
(http://www.scottklement.com/httpapi/index.html) to open the socket and
send the request.  Unfortunately, we have yet to successfully send a
SOAP request.  We have successfully opened sockets to general Web sites
and received valid responses, but have yet to be successful when
connecting to a Web Service.  This leads me to believe that our SOAP

request is not structured properly.

I guess my question is has anyone else attempted to do this and if so,
would you possibly mind sending an example of the SOAP request that you
sent?  I appreciate any advice you can offer.



Thanks,

Andy
