Trying to write a script that will communicate with a SOAP server. I
have the XML for the server, I have the Apple Developer pages, and I
subscribed to Safari Bookshelf mainly to get my hands on Matt's
book. But I'm reading through all of the above, and I can't figure
out how an XML term (i.e., "<tns:DownloadFileBoth>") translates to
the equivalent AppleScript terminology.
What's really confusing me: when I run my script, what I get back is
the argument to the "call soap" command, verbatim -- e.g., the record
starting with "method name" that I passed. Using the syntactical
structure directly copied from another working script.
Show code?
Tell what server it is?
Do note, however, that I'm currently not able to get AppleScript SOAP
working with *any* of the servers listed on xmethods.net (this is the
subject of a different current thread), so it may be that it's just
broken
at a deep level. m.
Nope. SOAP's working fine on Tiger. Drives our company workflows.
Connecting to a MS SQL database thru web services (SOAP).
You should get back an AppleScript Record. If you don't either the
server's not setup properly or your script is wrong.
I use the following subroutine...
on soapCall(methodName, methodParams)
try
tell application "http://www.ourwebserver.com/webservice.asmx"; to
return call soap {method name:methodName, method namespace
uri:"http://www.ourwebserver.com";, parameters:methodParams,
SOAPAction:"http://www.ourwebserver.com/"; & methodName}
on error m number n
if n is -916 then
set msg to "The script was unable to establish a connection to the
Web Service. The server may be down."
else
set msg to ("" & m & ". [" & n & "].")
end if
display dialog msg
end try
end soapCall
See one of my previous posts re configuring a MS SQL web service so
that it works on a mac (i.e. conforms to true 'standard' and not a MS
'standard' ;) ).
