Hi Thomas,
Thank you for this - this was my thinking that something is wrong with the HTTP post part of my webservice experience(!!!) because I've passed the request message onto the company and when they've looked at it and ran it through their side it works, so it's down to this HTTP bit I think, the debugging log will definitely be useful.
I will try your suggestions - your help is very much appreciated.
Kind regards,
Connie

Subject: Re: WebService
Connie,
I do not remember that I have ever seen the SOAP action as part of the URL. Having said that does not necessarily mean that that is right for all web services. But it is likely the SOAP action parameter part of the URL, that causes the problem. Also the fact that you get back a html web page instead of a SOAP message indicates, that you use a wrong URL. (my two cents)
Usually the SOAP action parameter is passed to http_xml_post() at position 10 of the parameter list. So it might be worth a try to call http_post_xml() like this:
rc = %len(soap);
rc = http_post_xml(
url
: %addr(SOAP) + 4
: %len(SOAP)
: *NULL
: %paddr(endElem)
: *null
: 600
: HTTP_USERAGENT
: 'text/xml'
: SOAPACTION);
Last but not least it often helps to call the web service with soapUI and check the soapUI http log for the details of the POST operation.
Thomas.

Betreff: RE: WebService
Please bear with me, I think this is the information that you need:
The command run I think is this:
rc = %len(soap);
rc = http_post_xml(
url + SOAPACTION
: %addr(SOAP) + 4
: %len(SOAP)
: *NULL
: %paddr(endElem)
: *null
: 600
: HTTP_USERAGENT
: 'text/xml');
End element procedure looks like this:
p endElem b
d endElem pi
d UserData * value
d depth 10I 0 value
d name 1024A varying const
d path 24576A varying const
d value 32767A varying const
d attrs * dim(32767)
d const options(*varsize)
d vv s 7a
/free
if (name = 'return');
result = value;
Else;
dump;
endif;
/end-free
It's all within an RPG program.
The responses I get back consist of this when looking at the values in Value and Name parameter:
'title'
'html/head'
'runtime error'
'style'
'html/head'
body {font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;font-size: .7em;color:bl
ack;} p {font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;color:black;margin-to
p: -5px} b {font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:bold;color:black;margin-to
p: -5px} H1 { font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;font-size:18pt;co
lor:red } H2 { font-family:"Verdana";font-weight:normal;font-size:14pt;c
olor:maroon } pre {font-family:"Lucida Console";font-size: .9em}
.marker {font-weight: bold; color: black;text-decoration: none;} .versi
on {color: gray;} .error {margin-bottom: 10px;} .expandable { te
xt-decoration:underline; font-weight:bold; color:navy; cursor:hand; }
'head'
'html'
This I have been told looks like it's pulling in an HTML error page.
I don't have a job log, but I've forced a dump in the EndElem procedure and I get the response data from that.
Hope this is what you're looking for, sorry if it's too vague.
Kind regards,
Connie

Connie,
could you post the command run, the job log and the response? Every little bit helps. :)

Hello,
Looking for some help relating to webservices.
I need to stress my knowledge of webservices is very small, I've not
used them much, and where I have it's been a direct copy of someone
else's source and the relevant changes made.
I am slowly beginning to understand how they work.
I have put together a SOAP message in an RPG program, and then using
an HTTP_POST_XML command I've tried to send the request.
The responses that I get back from the webservice are not very useful
and looking at one of the responses it seems to pull through an HTML
error page formatting. One response says 'runtime error'.
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can make more sense of the error
that I'm getting?
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Connie
