web service problem

[Paul K]

I have a pretty basic Web Method (see below) that accepts an arraylist and a
string, and returns an arraylist.

The problem I am running into is that if I send an arraylist containing any
objects, the proxy class breaks saying that type is not expected. In this
case, I am trying to send an arraylist of PSI.Common.Inspection objects.

From what I understand, if I added a XmlArrayItem attribute to the
inspections parameter it would then expect PSI.Common.Inspection objects.

Could anyone let me know if my understanding is correct? If it is, how do I
add the attribute? No matter where I try to place it, I always get a
compiler error.

The web method follows:

<WebMethod(), _
XmlInclude(GetType(PSI.Common.Applicant)), _
XmlInclude(GetType(PSI.Common.ApplicantProperty)), _
XmlInclude(GetType(PSI.Common.Contractor)), _
XmlInclude(GetType(PSI.Common.ContractorType)), _
XmlInclude(GetType(PSI.Common.Inspection)), _
XmlInclude(GetType(PSI.Common.InspectionType)), _
XmlInclude(GetType(PSI.Common.Municipality)), _
XmlInclude(GetType(PSI.Common.Permit)), _
XmlInclude(GetType(PSI.Common.PermitContractor))> _

Public Function SynchronizeClient(ByVal inspections As
System.Collections.ArrayList, ByVal inspectorAccountName As String) As
<XmlArrayItemAttribute(GetType(PSI.Common.Permit)) >
System.Collections.ArrayList
MgrObject.ConnectionString =
ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings("ConnectionStrin g")

Dim str As String = Context.User.Identity.Name

If inspectorAccountName.Length > 0 Then
If mIMgr.CompleteInspections(inspections) <> ErrorCodes.None Then Throw
New System.SystemException("An unknown error occurred while attempting to
synchronize the provided data with the database.")
Return PMgr.GetPermitsForInspector(inspectorAccountName)
End If
End Function

The problem I have is:

I have a solution on my pc with a web application and a web service. It
works perfect on my PC.
When I try to migrate to the INTERNET server I do the following.
1. I copied the WEBSERVICE proyect to the destintation folder of the server.
(NO PROBLEM)
2. SO I must change the reference for it to work .
When I add the reference
to this site.
[url]http://apl1.haceb.com/servicioweb/wsproveedores.asmx[/url]

On the window I got this error
Error al descargar 'http://apl1.haceb.com/servicioweb/wsproveedores.asmx'.

Se ha terminado la conexión: No es posible conectar con el servidor remoto.

In english is says( The conection has finished. Its not possible to connect
to the remote server)

If I can Surf to the webservice URL? why I cant add the reference?

The name and the button are deactivated.

Luis, maybe it is an issue with your http proxy, see here:
[url]http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q318140/[/url]
?

IE has settings for the HTTP proxy (you can surf to it), but VS has separate
settings.
the above kb article tells you how to config vs to use IE's settings.

[Sunil Sabir]

Dear All,

I have written a Web Service which is called from ASPX file(Web Form). It
works fine on the local machine. On the local machine I am using the
following command

wsdl.exe /l:cs [url]http://localhost/ReturnEvents/Service1.asmx?wsdl[/url]

Now I want to use the same service on the Remote Server. What I think is
that the
above path should be changed as it is localhost. So I try to do something
like this

wsdl.exe /l:cs [url]http://www.hop.man.ac.uk/ReturnEvents/Service1.asmx?wsdl[/url]

where [url]www.hop.man.ac.uk[/url] is the server where I am trying to host my web service

But it does not compile and throws the following error:

There was an error downloading:

[url]http://www.hop.man.ac.uk/ReturnEvents/Service1.asmx?wsdl[/url]

The request failed with HTTP status 404: Not Found

I dont know whether I going in a right direction. It works fine on the
client machine
But on the server when I change the path to my server name it throws this
error.I mean we cant use localhost in the wsdl when using Web service on the
REMOTE server. Dont know what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Sunil Sabir

We also getting 404 for
[url]http://www.hop.man.ac.uk/ReturnEvents/Service1.asmx[/url] :-)

Other thing to check if you internet connection needs http proxy server.

[Dan Rogers]

Hi Sunil,

You shouldn't be using WSDL.exe to move a service to a different server.
Instead, after you get the server ready to run the applicaiton (e.g.
install IIS, install the .NET Framework server components), you should
publish your service implementation to the server.

The service itself is unaware of it's address. It's just code, running on
a server.

To publish, open your project in Visual Studio, and after it is loaded, use
the Publish option on the File menu to publish the right files to the
server.

Once the service is moved, the code that calls the client side proxy should
use a configuration setting to change the server/service address. If you
change the proxy property to "dynamic", you can then change the URL setting.

I hope this helps

if you look at the proxy again there's a property called URL, it's the
web service endpoint, now every time you move the service address all
you should do just change this property either directly in the proxy
file all the calling code

Mywebservice svc = new myWebService();
svc.Url = ConfigurationSetting.AppSettings["MyWebSerice.Url"];

The reason why you're getting error 404 , my guess would be the
"ReturnEvents" virtual directory is not configured at all or incorrectly
pointing to wrong folder

actually you can place the service1.asmx in wwwroot directory and the
dll in wwwroor\bin and all you have to is change the proxy Url to
[url]http://www.hop.man.ac.uk/Service1.asmx[/url]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with your code, so you must be using the wrong address for the Web Service.

[www.xmlstandards.org]

It might sound silly but do you have a valid mapping to your CFIDE directory.
If you take off the ?wsdl query parameter and then browse the *cfc you are in
fact inspecting a ColdFusion component (which just happens to constitute your
web service functionality.). When doing this if there is no valid mapping to
the CFIDE directory (where the CFC Explorer tool lives) ColdFusion will throw
an error not just in IE but in any browser since it cannot locate needed files
to explore your CFC. I doubt this would be the case however since you display
a URL using your localhost IP address. However if you have modified your
C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file then CFIDE may not exist. Check
this out to ensure ColdFusion is set up correctly. Hope that helps you out.

[plange]

I'm having a slightly similar problem.... I wrote a very simple query CFC and
then created another page in the same folder that invoked it - no problem.
However when I changed it to be a webservice I'm getting: Could not find the
ColdFusion Component bands. Please check that the given name is correct and
that the component exists. with bands being the name of the cfc. In my
cfinvoke, for the webservice param I'm using a URL to the cfc (and it's on a
different server). Weird thing is, I know it's there because if I put the same
URL in a browser from my local work station (which is not the same as the
server the cfc is on) minus the ?wdsl but adding method=[methodname i'm
calling] to the end of the URL I get back a raw string of the data.... Any
ideas?

[plange]

and also, just as background, I did set the cfc to have access='remote' Also,
on another note, if I put the URL in a browser with the ?wdsl I get the File
not found: /CFIDE/componentutils/cfcexplorer.cfc error, even though I have a
mapping in CFAdmin for /CFIDE

[plange]

Never mind-- I solved my issue, but doesn't look like it would solve moyoxxx's
problem. I was a complete dummy and copied the same cfinvoke I'd used to test
the cfc and just added the webservice param but didn't take out the component
param.....

[Fabian]

I'm having a problem from a long time ago, and I can't figure out how
to solve it.

I have a .NET object (PruebaEntidadAP) with the following properties:

PruebaEntidadAP object:

*Adress
*Name
*ColPrueba as ObjItem() (an object item array of type ObjItem)

ObjItem object:
*IDItem
*ElementoItem

I also have a web service with the following web methods:

*' Returns an object PruebaEntidadAP
FetchPrueba() as PruebaEntidadAP

*' Updates the PruebaEntidadAP object
UpdatePrueba(pUsu as PruebaEntidadAP)

>From Flex, I consume the web service calling the FetchPrueba method, it

returns an object of type PruebaEntidadAP. I get and show the object in
Flex and I also can acces to all it's properties, I even show the array
ColPrueba into a Grid without problem.

Later I send this object using the web method UpdatePrueba to modify
it, there is where I get this error:

RPC Fault, "uknown propery: IDItem" faultCode="EncodingError".

If I do the same with an object that doesn't have a property
representing an object's array, I mean a simple object without
ColPrueba, it works. The problem is with the complex objects or those
whom have collections in it.

The same web service I consume from .NET and Visual Fox without
problem, only Flex is giving me errors.

You can see the web service at:
[url]http://www.managernet.com.ar/webservices/wssecurity.asmx[/url]


the WSDL:
[url]http://www.managernet.com.ar/webservices/wssecurity.asmx?WSDL[/url]

the application:
[url]http://www.managernet.com.ar/flex/managermain.html[/url]

the code:
[url]http://www.managernet.com.ar/flex/srcview/index.html[/url]


Any idea on how to solve this problem?


If you have any doubt, please ask me.

Thanks.

[White Joe]

Sure, just make your own web page to return the xml.
