RE: Need help
Magne,
Many thanks for leading me down the right track! I am now able to get the
server to send the response I expected. Now I go to step two and request a
base64 response...
Thanks again,
Bruce

Magne,
You might have something. I had tried using <, >, and " previously
but I tried again. I still don't have it but it is giving me a different
error message.
Thanks,
Bruce

Hi,
This seems like xml in a string variable and then I believe that you should
use < and > instead of < and >
And " instead of "
Have you tried it?
Mvh
Magne

Hi Scott,
I understand the HTTPAPI is working correctly and my thanks to you for
providing the api's and your support.
My experience with soap is fairly limited and the company I have been
working with has been of limited help. I'm not sure if they can't find
anybody on their side who knows what they are talking about or they are just
dragging their feet but I am needing to complete this project.
I have tried adding a xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/";> description but I
receive a "400 bad request" message when I do. During one of my brief
conversations they told me their site doesn't support temporary name spaces.
If I go to http://soapclient.com/soaptest.html and use the wsdl
https://incoming.paymentarchive.com/fileretrieval/fileretrieval.asmx?WSDL
and paste
<ItemQuery>
<GetItemData>
<BASICAUTHENTICATION>
<USERNAME>FIDWEBSVC</USERNAME>
<PASSWORD>397WSM4Z</PASSWORD>
</BASICAUTHENTICATION>
<RESPONSEFORMAT>
<PAGINATION>
<ROWSPERPAGE>20</ROWSPERPAGE>
<PAGENUMBER>1</PAGENUMBER>
</PAGINATION>
<OUTPUTFIELDS>
<OUTPUTFIELD FIELD="IRN" ORDERBY="NO"/>
<OUTPUTFIELD FIELD="SEQNUM" ORDERBY="NO"/>
</OUTPUTFIELDS>
</RESPONSEFORMAT>
<SEARCH>
<SEARCHFIELDS>
<SEARCHFIELD FIELD="IRN" OPERATOR="EQUALS">
<VALUE1>200812230802590000011</VALUE1>
</SEARCHFIELD>
</SEARCHFIELDS>
</SEARCH>
</GetItemData>
</ItemQuery>
into the SOAP Method: GetItemData and click on invoke it returns what I am
looking for so I'm pretty sure the "payload" is correct.
I know that xml is case sensitive so I am assuming they must be converting
tags to upper or lower case.
Funny thing I just noticed looking at the test page it has "s:string" to the
right of the input field. Since I am getting a fault message "Parameter
name: s" I wonder what is missing?
Having said all that I'm hoping that you or someone can guess what
everything else should look like because this soapclient.com is able to read
the wsdl and get the soap request formatted correctly.
I've attached my source this time. I realize that I have provided the user
and password so I will change it once I get it to work.
Thanks for your time,
Bruce

Hi Bruce,
Just to make we understand each other: HTTPAPI is working as expected.
HTTPAPI's job is to send data via the HTTP protocol, and it's doing
that correctly in this case. Your issue is in knowing exactly which
data to ask HTTPAPI to send. Unfortunately, I don't know that myself,
since I haven't used this particular service, and the WSDL has only
limited information. So please understand that everything I say below
is a *GUESS* and may be completely wrong or unrelated.
The WSDL tells us that the SOAP request must be in the following format:
<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";
xmlns:tem="http://tempuri.org/";>
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<tem:GetItemData>
<tem:ItemQuery>
... "payload" goes here ...
</tem:ItemQuery>
</tem:GetItemData>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Please change your SOAP to match the above. Although I'm sure you've
tried many ways, the one you posted does not have correct namespaces
assigned to GetItemData and ItemQuery, so the one you posted is wrong.
Use the above one, please. THAT part of the message, if nothing else,
is spelled out in the WSDL, so we know what it needs to be.
The big problem here is what to put in the "ItemQuery" tag. (where I put
'"payload" goes here.') The WSDL doesn't tell us what to put there.
So here are some guesses:
a) Your ItemQuery contains XML tags, but not a complete XML document. I
say that because an XML document (a valid one, at any rate) needs to be
completely enclosed in an XML tag. i.e., the following is not valid:
<parm1>Blah</parm1>
<parm2>Blah</parm2>
There has to be a tag that encloses the whole document, like this:
<MyDocument>
<parm1>Blah</parm1>
<parm2>Blah</parm2>
</MyDocument>
The payload of your SOAP message looks like this:
<BASICAUTHENTICATION>...</BASICAUTHENTICATION>
<RESPONSEFORMAT>...</RESPONSEFORMAT>
<SEARCH>...</SEARCH>
There's no one tag that encloses the whole document, and therefore it's
not a valid XML message. Still, it's possible that it's what the
service expects -- but it seems very suspicious to me.
b) Your XML tags (in the "payload") are in all capital letters. XML tag
names are case-sensitive, so please be sure that the service wants them
in all caps, as you've coded. In my experience, it's very unusual for
an XML document to be in all caps as yours is. (It's certainly legal --
but very unusual, so it strikes me as suspicious)
c) The most important thing from your log is the Soap:Fault. This is
(supposedly) an error message that tells us what's wrong. Here's what
yours says (reformatted to make it easier to read)
<soap:Fault>
<faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode>
<faultstring>Server was unable to process request. ---> Value
cannot be null. Parameter name: s</faultstring>
<detail />
</soap:Fault>
To me, this suggests that it's looking for a variable named 's' (could
that be cut off? I don't know). And either that variable hasn't been
passed, or it's empty/blank.
Not exactly sure what that means, except that it's misinterpreting the
XML document... could be capitalization, escaping, name spaces... or it
could simply be that it's expecting an element named 's'. But, I
thought it was worth examining...
