soap request building

Subba Reddy Madireddygari — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 15:58:10 -0000

Please help me on the following steps to build the soap request before posting to server.

1. how to specify the encoding style/use "rpc/encoded" and/or "rpc/literal" and/or "document/literal" before initiating the soap request?
2. how to specify the (xsd type ) xsi:type="ns0:ArrayOfKeyValue" to complex type data elements in the soap request?
Following expected soap request and response from server, if I post manually through soapui -
POST /axis2/services/emsprov/ HTTP/1.1

tclsoap.sf.net forums not accessible

Larry W. Virden — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 19:06:18 -0000

I was looking for a place where I could ask questions, etc. regarding tclsoap. The front page has a link to "Forums", but when I click that link, I get an sf.net page that says that the forums are not setup.

namespace name change

Anonymous — Mon, 11 Jun 2007 11:25:20 -0000

Hi,

Whether it is possible to change the namespace name. For example after the SOAP envelpoe the SOAP body looks like the following:

<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns:languages xmlns:ns="http://www.soaplite.com/Demo/>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>

Here i would like it to be following with the namespace name kk instaed of ns:

<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<kk:languages xmlns:ns="http://www.soaplite.com/Demo/>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>

Is there any way to achive this.

Is there a way to use rpcvar to return heterogeneous Maps?

Kenneth Cox — Fri, 10 Mar 2006 17:15:46 -0000

My apache-based server uses tclsoap to implement
rpc-style web services. I'm trying to use rpcvar to
generate something that I can consume from Java using
Apache Axis and not too much work. I came up with this:

rpcvar::typedef -namespace
"http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap" {
key string
value string
} mapItem
rpcvar::typedef -namespace
"http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap" {
items mapItem()
} Map

set l {}
lappend l [list key a value 1]
lappend l [list key b value 2]
lappend l [list key c value 3.0]
return [wrap Map [list items $l]]

But this means that all the elements are deserialized
as strings. I want them to be Boolean, Int, Calendar,
etc. All that has to happen for Axis to be happy is
for the elements to be named like so:

Can I do that using rpcvar without making the
collection homogeneous?

wsdl4tcl - still available?

Anonymous — Tue, 07 Feb 2006 16:37:11 -0000

I am new to web services (xml based) and just ok, but
wanting to be better, with TCL. I have searched and
followed all links but cannot locate the actual
download for this utility, WSDL4TCL. I did register
for and review associated tutorial on IBM's
OpenDeveloper area. I want to make use of .NET
developed and hosted web services which, in my case,
require use complex data types. I am hoping this
utility will assist in generating the proper variable
definitions given the WSDL from web services.

namespaces aren't working in tclhttpd

Forest Wilkinson — Sat, 22 Mar 2003 01:18:19 -0000

I have followed the directions on
http://tclsoap.sourceforge.net/SOAPURLDomain.html to
create and publish the "square" command from tclhttpd
using tclsoap. When I try to test the newly created
function (still following those directions) I get the
following message:

SOAP-ENV:Client {Invalid SOAP request: method
"::square" not found}

However, when I remove the the namespace command from
the server-side example code, thereby putting "square"
and the SOAP::export call in the global namespace, it
works. Is this a bug in tclsoap?

version info:
tclsoap 1.6.6
tcldom 2.6
tclxml 2.6

Syntax of create/response

Alexander Henket — Tue, 06 Aug 2002 08:04:15 -0000

I'd like to submit a SOAP request to a certain
webservice, that is a little more complicated than the
examples I can find. It uses extra URI's in the envelope,
an authentication struct in the header and an array of
structs in the body. Because of privacy reasons in the
application I can, unfortunately not let you test request
and response, but I can give you anonymized examples
and the WSDL.

The problem is that I have no idea how to call the
SOAP::create proc to construct my request and what to
call to parse the response. I even fear that is isn't
possible to do what I need to do yet.

Hope you can help me out.

Problem installing TclSOAP on Solaris

Knarig Arabshian — Tue, 08 Jan 2002 22:17:29 -0000

Hi,

I just began working with TclSOAP. I've been having
problems getting it to work on Solaris. The TclDom
package I downloaded was specifically for Linux
(http://tclsoap.sourceforge.net/dom-packages.html).
I was able to get the examples from
http://www.zsplat.freeserve.co.uk/soap/doc/TclSOAP.html
working on linux. However, from the TclSoap release
notes it specifies that TclDom can be obtained from
the TclXml library. I've been trying to get this
working and haven't been successful. In order to
install TclXml, I need tcllib and after downloading
tcllib I'm not sure where to proceed from
there. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find much
documentation on this. Can someone help me install the
TclSOAP on the solaris platfor successfully?

Thank you for your time.
Knarig

Problem using GLUE service

Anonymous — Wed, 12 Dec 2001 16:19:37 -0000

I am trying to invoke a method on a service that is
implemented in GLUE. I get the following error.

SOAP transport error: ""

I was wondering if anyone has any clue why this is
happening?

Thanks,
