RE: Accessing Axis Web Service from VB with MS-SOAP

[thomas . cherel]

Title: Message

As extra information, I found two limitations in the current MSSOAP Toolkit and the Office Web Services Toolkit:   - If your web service is state-full (cookies are used to maintain a session on the server side, scope="session" in the axis wsdd), if any errors are returned by the web service, the session is lost. - If some of the elements declared in the type section of your WSDL have a name which appears to be a reserved VB name (for example an element called "type"), then the Office Web Services Toolkit will generate some code that will not compile/run, and I did not find a way to workaround that except renaming the element in the WSDL. - I get some errors when using xsd:dateTime in the WSDL. Seems that in some cases, MSSOAP Toolkit has some problems to de-serialize xsd:dateTime value. I did not find yet the exact problem.   Thomas -----Original Message----- From: Dick, Andrea [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 2:38 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Accessing Axis Web Service from VB with MS-SOAP Thomas,   I do have Office XP and using the Web Services Toolkit I have gotten my code to work.  (One big problem was lack of a WSML file on the MSSOAPInit2 call.   Thanks so much!!  Andrea   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 1:35 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: Accessing Axis Web Service from VB with MS-SOAP   Can you send the piece of VB code you are using to call your operation? If you have a machine with Office XP, I also recommend that you install the Office XP Web Services Toolkit. This toolkit will generates, from the WSDL, all the VB classes that you need in order to call the web service using MSSOAP Toolkit 3.0.   Thomas -----Original Message----- From: Dick, Andrea [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, September 25, 2002 10:54 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Accessing Axis Web Service from VB with MS-SOAP Hi,   I am wondering if someone can provide some assistance or some sample code.    I am not able to pass parameters to an Axis based web service from a VB client using MS-SOAP toolkit 3.   The input parameter to my web service is a java bean with three string parameters.  (I've included the WSDL).  My current error comes from VB, indicating that the parameter I am passing is not correct.   (I am certain this is not a connectivity problem because I called the web service from my VB code with a single string parameter.)    If someone has had success with this combination of technologies, I would welcome sample code, details on the process I need to use to make this work or any other helpful advice.   Thanks for the help.
