Hi and thanks for you response,
I have been having trouble with google not posting my messages, so I
accidentally posted this issue twice. Additionally, the lengthy
solution I posted to the porblem disappeared as well. I don't know
why, but I'd rather not post it again.
At any rate, you are correct in that I just never got the JSON format
right. In the end, the biggest error I made was not including the
parameter in the JSON:
This format proved successful worked:
'{"p_Person":
{"__type":"WebServiceCalls.Person","firstName":"John","lastName":"Smith","greeting":"Hello"}}'
Thanks,
Maulkye
