Hi everyone, I'm working with ColdFusion 9.0 trying to communicate with web services that our state has set up. I use cfhttp tag to submit SOAP request which looks like this:
<cfhttp method="POST" url="http://167.21.60.200/Delaware.ICIS.XmlFiling..Services/Service.svc"; useragent="gSOAP/2.8" result="httpResponse"> <cfhttpparam type="header" name="content-type" value="text/xml"> <cfhttpparam type="header" name="charset" value="utf-8"> <cfhttpparam type="header" name="content-length" value="#len(signOnSoap)#"> <cfhttpparam type="header" name="connection" value="close"> <cfhttpparam type="header" name="accept-encoding" value="no-compression" /> <cfhttpparam type="header" name="SOAPAction" value="Delaware.ICIS.XmlFiling.Services/FilingService/FileCheckAgentAccountBalanceImmediate"> <cfhttpparam type="xml" value="#trim(ckBalRequest)#"> </cfhttp> Where ckBalRequest is an xml variable created according to the web service provider specifications. I have no problem getting the request to them and receiving the response. However, while the response should be an XML variable as well, when I tried to use XMLParse(httpReponse.FileContent), CF gave me an error: An error occured while Parsing an XML document. Content is not allowed in prolog. So, tried cfdump to see the response I was getting. Then I got the following error: java.io.ByteArrayOutputStream. While researching about this error, I came upon suggestion to use DeserializeJSON function for the response. Now I received this error which is something within the response: JSON parsing failure at character 2:'-' in --uuid:e2f0c19a-df5f-4570-88f2-b641a09178ee+id=34 Content-ID: <http://tempuri.org/0> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Type: application/xop+xml;charset=utf-8;type="text/xml" <s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";><s:Header><h:agentNumber xmlns:h="Delaware.ICIS.XmlFiling.Services">9020288</h:agentNumber><h:agentPONumber xmlns:h="Delaware.ICIS.XmlFiling.Services">NoPOforThisTrans</h:agentPONumber><h:attentionLine xmlns:h="Delaware.ICIS.XmlFiling.Services">Attn: Dan's Listner</h:attentionLine><h:fileDateTime xmlns:h="Delaware.ICIS.XmlFiling.Services">20130509T11:25:50:9196</h:fileDateTime><h:packetNumber xmlns:h="Delaware.ICIS.XmlFiling.Services">9020288_20130509T1125420351</h:packetNumber><h:receivedDateTime xmlns:h="Delaware.ICIS.XmlFiling.Services">20130509T11:25:50:9196</h:receivedDateTime><h:successful xmlns:h="Delaware.ICIS.XmlFiling.Services">true</h:successful></s:Header><s:Body><checkAgentAccountBalanceResponse xmlns="Delaware.ICIS..XmlFiling.Services"><accountBalanc... Here the actual response that the state's web service is sending me, but ColdFusion keeps having trouble seeing it as a structure: --uuid:e2f0c19a-df5f-4570-88f2-b641a09178ee+id=34 Content-ID: <http://tempuri.org/0> Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Type: application/xop+xml;charset=utf-8;type="text/xml" <s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/";> <s:Header> <h:agentNumber xmlns:h="Delaware.ICIS.XmlFiling.Services">9020288</h:agentNumber> <h:agentPONumber xmlns:h="Delaware.ICIS.XmlFiling.Services">NoPOforThisTrans</h:agentPONumber> <h:attentionLine xmlns:h="Delaware.ICIS.XmlFiling.Services">Attn: Dan's Listner</h:attentionLine> <h:fileDateTime xmlns:h="Delaware.ICIS.XmlFiling.Services">20130509T11:25:50:9196</h:fileDateTime> <h:packetNumber xmlns:h="Delaware.ICIS.XmlFiling.Services">9020288_20130107T1623410102</h:packetNumber> <h:receivedDateTime xmlns:h="Delaware.ICIS.XmlFiling.Services">20130107T16:23:41:3116</h:receivedDateTime> <h:successful xmlns:h="Delaware.ICIS.XmlFiling.Services">true</h:successful> </s:Header> <s:Body> <checkAgentAccountBalanceResponse xmlns="Delaware.ICIS.XmlFiling.Services"> <accountBalance>797250.4162</accountBalance> <fundsReserved>254873.2338</fundsReserved> <availableBalance>542377.1824</availableBalance> </checkAgentAccountBalanceResponse> </s:Body> </s:Envelope> --uuid:e2f0c19a-df5f-4570-88f2-b641a09178ee+id=34 When I simply display the response by placing on the page <cfoutput>#httpResponse.FileContent#</cfoutput>, I get this: --uuid:e2f0c19a-df5f-4570-88f2-b641a09178ee+id=34 Content-ID: Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Content-Type: application/xop+xml;charset=utf-8;type="text/xml" 9020288NoPOforThisTransAttn: Dan's Listner20130509T11:25:50:91969020288_20130509T112542035120130509T11:25:50:9196true789222.1662261386.2338527835.9324 --uuid:e2f0c19a-df5f-4570-88f2-b641a09178ee+id=34-- As you can see all of the headers are compressed then, and it's nearly impossible to extract the values. So I need to have the response in a structure that would give me access to the values (and so that I know what they are for me to use them correctly). So far DeserializeJSON was the only function that actually displayed headers in somewhat XML structure, but it has trouble with unique identifier (which is a unique identifier for the session) in the beginning of response. Simply trying to remove it from the response by using ColdFusion's Replace() isn't working at all. It's still there. I'm at wit's end at this point and desperately need experts help as to how to see the structured response from the web service. The web service developers with the state aren't helping much saying that it's ColdFusion's downside, not theirs and saying that others (such as those working with PHP apps) are able to see the structural response as it's supposed to be. Please, help! Any input is greatly appreciated!
