Fist off I am a proud new member to the Cocoa developement community. However I have a couple of questions. In my recent adventure I have been able to successfully learn objective-c and a small portion of the Cocoa API and make a really neat threading application. I am currently working on being able to connect to a .NET Web Service written in C#. Well, I have been able to do that and figure out how to pass parameters into the service and return results as well. With great use of on-line documentation and forums, I have been able to pull this stuff off fairly quick. However I need to get more into the nitty gritty of things. I would like to know:
a) Is there a function call or utility on Mac OS X to get me the result SOAP-XML request going to my .NET Web Service? Vice versa? I am using the standard result = (NSDictionary*)WSMethodInvocationInvoke(soapCall); to make my calls. I know there is tcpdump...but is there something that is a little
more usable?
b) I am attemting to parse a .NET DataSet. Are there any good articles on how to do this or is there a set of objects that I can use in cocoa to be able to pull this off. If not, what is my best alternative?
My initial post was in the Cocoa Development forum and I received this message from Ed, which is why I am here..
Glancing at the Web Services Core docs (as I imagine you did), I didn't see any obvious way to do this. To get this level of control, you might have to drop to a lower level (CFHTTP). If you have access to it on the .NET end, you could try doing something hackish like sending the request back as part of the response.
I would recommend reposting your question to the macnetworkprog list (http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/macnetworkprog)--there's more likely to be someone knowledgeable (like
Jeremy Wyld of Apple) monitoring things. --Ed
Note: This may help, Currently I am trying to do the DataSet object in Cocoa. I was wondering if there would be a good alternative rather than a dataset...maybe returning just some sort of array from the Web Servce. In short...basically I need to be able to return results from a .NET Web Service and iterate through a collection of objects, most likely strings.
I did use tcpdump
to verify that I am receiving the correct response. The data is there, all the soap header and envelop information...I just need to be able to access it using my application. That is where I am getting hung up.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time. -Jerrod Fowkes
