You should be able to do this by overriding the GetWebRequest method of the proxy class in a partial class in a separate file. After calling the base class method, you should be able to modify the returned HttpWebRequest however you like, then return it from the method: public partial class MyServiceProxy { protected override … Read more
You mentioned this is the SOAP service of a printer. Is the printer’s API documented on the manufacturer’s site? Does the documentation include the WSDL? Can you get the WSDL from the manufacturer? If you can get the WSDL from the manufacturer then you’re done! If not, then you have to build the WSDL by … Read more
The simplest way is to use VS and add a web reference. This automatically creates the stub for you
You can simply serialize the request object, before subtmit, like this: var sreq = new SomeSoapRequest(); // … fill in here … var serxml = new System.Xml.Serialization.XmlSerializer(sreq.GetType()); var ms = new MemoryStream(); serxml.Serialize(ms, sreq); string xml = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(ms.ToArray()); // in xml string you have SOAP request
Basically, you need to use a WebServiceMessageCallback in your client to modify the message after its creation but before it is sent. To rest of the code has been described pretty accurately by @skaffman so the whole stuff might look like this: public void marshalWithSoapActionHeader(MyObject o) { webServiceTemplate.marshalSendAndReceive(o, new WebServiceMessageCallback() { public void doWithMessage(WebServiceMessage message) … Read more
Check out Apache Axis. That is my all times favorite SOAP implementation. It’s SOAP done right! Exists for C++ and Java. http://ws.apache.org/axis/ And in best traditions of Apache Foundation, it is FREE and OPENSOURCE. So, enjoy!
Upfront remark: In order to use the __getLastRequest() method successfully, you have to set the ‘trace’ option to true on client construction: $client = new SoapClient(‘wsdldoc.asmx?WSDL’, array(‘trace’ => TRUE)); This way, your request will still be sent (and therefore still fail), but you can inspect the sent xml afterwards by calling $client->__getLastRequest(). Main answer: To … Read more
Use getLastRequest. It returns the XML sent in the last SOAP request. echo “REQUEST:\n” . $SOAP->__getLastRequest() . “\n”; And remember, this method works only if the SoapClient object was created with the trace option set to TRUE. Therefore, when creating the object, use this code: $SOAP = new SoapClient($WDSL, array(‘trace’ => 1));
Differences? SOAP is more powerful, and is much preferred by software tool vendors (MSFT .NET, Java Enterprise edition, that sort of things). SOAP was for a long time (2001-2007ish) seen as the protocol of choice for SOA. xml-rpc not so much. REST is the new SOA darling, although it’s not a protocol. SOAP is more … Read more
You could try in this way. SOAPMessage msg = messageContext.getMessage(); ByteArrayOutputStream out = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); msg.writeTo(out); String strMsg = new String(out.toByteArray());
