Re: Need some examples to start
Hello Henry,
The debug log you posted shows the following data being sent to the server:
processService?PDMServiceInput=<?xml version="1.0"?>
<PDMServiceInput><RequestID>PartNumberCheck001</RequestID>
<CatalogYear>2011</CatalogYear><PartNumber>01806-9993 </PartNumber>
</PDMServiceInput>
This looks sort of like a web form. Bugt it has "processService" in
front of it, which doesn't make sense for a web form. Plus, there are
certain characters that aren't URL-encoded as they would be in a web form.
But here's the really strange part, you have this:
Content-Type: text/xml
If you are supposed to send the data as a web form, why on earth are you
telling the server that it's straight XML? That's not the right
content-type for a web form!
Even stranger, the response you're getting appears to be SOAP. The
response you're getting follows (I've reformatted it for readability):
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<soapenv:Envelope
xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";>
<soapenv:Header
xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing";>
<wsa:Action>
http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/soap/fault
</wsa:Action>
</soapenv:Header>
<soapenv:Body>
<soapenv:Fault>
<faultcode></faultcode>
<faultstring>
com.ctc.wstx.exc.WstxUnexpectedCharException: Unexpected
character 'p' (code 112) in prolog; expected '<'
at [row,col {unknown-source}]: [1,1]
</faultstring>
<detail />
</soapenv:Fault>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
That's clearly a SOAP response. And it tells you very clearly what it
thinks you're doing wrong... it's expecting a < character (<) on line
1, position 1. So if that's the case, sending a web form doesn't make
much sense at all.
So please find out how the web service is SUPPOSED to work.
1) is it plain old xml (POX) where you send/receive straight XML?
2) does it use a URL encoded web form like a browser would send?
3) Is it SOAP?
These are three ALTERNATIVES, you only use one of them, don't try to
combine them into a single program. We need to know which one the web
service requires.
If at all possible, please send a WSDL file.

Attached is the debug log. The web service is running within our internal network. Can I any suggestion to trouble shoot the problem.
