Maybe the RPC won't work but the soap call does work but only in a SOAP 1.1 type call. We use it all the day to talk to a selfwritten WebService that talks to the API of Adam Software.
It's mainly the problem of the Soap 1.1 implementation on the Windows WebService site that has given us most of the problems, but once this is solved you're ready to go.
A little example of a call, in our ScriptLibary we have wrapped everything up in handlers.
set pAdamWebService to "http://"; & mServerIPAddress & "/xxxxWS/Service.asmx"
----
set mMethodName to "getVersion"
set mParameters to {}
with timeout of gDefaultTimeout seconds -->> TIMEOUT CONNECTION
using terms from application "http://www.apple.com";
try
tell application pWebService
set mSoapAction to (pWebServiceUrl & "/" & mMethodName)
return (call soap {method name:mMethodName, method namespace uri:pWebServiceUrl, parameters:mParameters, SOAPAction:mSoapAction})
end tell
on error errMsg number err
if errMsg is "Transport Error" then set errMsg to errMsg & "!" & sr & "Probably the WebService is not active." & sr & "(" & pWebService & ")"
error errMsg number err -- Raise new error
end try
end using terms from
end timeout
-----
Please be carefull with the capitalization of parameters because they are case-sensitive. Some parameter names are assigned to AppleScript variables so they can't be used in a default manner. How to keep capitalization of a record key in AppleScript just add vertical lines before and after the name.
{name:"Albert", |Name|:"Albert}
Hope this will help and put you on the right track :-) Good luck
