// Define the parameters of the "Temperature" procedure that
// returns the temperature of a city identified by its zip code
SOAP.Value[1] = 94010
SOAP.Name[1] = "ZipCode"
SOAP.Type[1] = SOAPStringType
// Run the "Temperature" procedure on a non-WINDEV server
ResExecute = SOAPRun("http://www.Temp.com/Degree", "Temperature", "urn:Temp-Degree")

Syntax

Running a procedure on a WINDEV SOAP server Hide the details

<Result> = SOAPRun(<URL of SOAP server> , <Procedure name> , <Procedure Namespace> [, <Procedure action> [, <Encoding style>]])

<Result>: Boolean

True if the communication was established with the SOAP server,
False otherwise. To get more details on the error, use ErrorInfo.

<URL of SOAP server>: Character string

URL of SOAP server to contact. This parameter is supplied in the documentation of SOAP server.
For a SOAP server created by WINDEV, the "/.soap" string must be added after the URL. For example:
"http://192.168.1.138/.soap".

<Procedure name>: Character string

Name of procedure that will be run on the specified SOAP server. This parameter is supplied in the documentation of SOAP server.

<Procedure Namespace>: Character string

Namespace of procedure to run. This parameter is supplied in the documentation of SOAP server.
This parameter is mandatory if you are using a WINDEV SOAP server. The name of the library (WDL) is specified via the namespace ("<Name of Server application>" becomes on the server "c:\soapmodules\<Name of Server application>.wdl ").
Remark: The urn: keyword is not required in this parameter.

<Procedure action>: Optional character string

Action of procedure (also called "SOAPAction"). This parameter is supplied in the documentation of SOAP server.

<Encoding style>: Optional character string

Encoding style of procedure (also called "EncodingStyle"). This parameter is supplied in the documentation of SOAP server.

Running a procedure on an ordinary SOAP server Hide the details

<Result> = SOAPRun(<URL of SOAP server> , <Procedure name> [, <Procedure Namespace> [, <Procedure action> [, <Encoding style>]]])

<Result>: Boolean

True if the communication was established with the SOAP server,
False otherwise. To get more details on the error, use ErrorInfo.

<URL of SOAP server>: Character string

URL of SOAP server to contact. This parameter is supplied in the documentation of SOAP server.
To submit a request with authentication, this parameter must correspond to:
http://user:password@ServerURL
The port can also be specified in the following syntax: http://user:password@ServerURL:port

<Procedure name>: Character string

Name of procedure that will be run on the specified SOAP server. This parameter is supplied in the documentation of SOAP server.

<Procedure Namespace>: Optional character string (mandatory for a WINDEV SOAP server)

Namespace of procedure to run. This parameter is supplied in the documentation of SOAP server.

<Procedure action>: Optional character string

Action of procedure (also called "SOAPAction"). This parameter is supplied in the documentation of SOAP server.

<Encoding style>: Optional character string

Encoding style of procedure (also called "EncodingStyle"). This parameter is supplied in the documentation of SOAP server.

Remarks

Parameters of procedure to run

To pass parameters to a procedure executed on a SOAP server, WINDEV uses the following structure:

Variable	Type	Details

SOAP.NameSpace	Optional character string	"NameSpace" of parameter.
SOAP.Name	Character string	Parameter name
SOAP.XMLParam	Optional character string	Full parameter description in XML format. The other parameters (Value, Name, Type, NameSpace and EncodingStyle) are ignored if this parameter is specified.
SOAP.EncodingStyle	Optional character string	Encoding style of parameter.
SOAP.Type	Constant	Type of parameter
SOAP.Value	Any type	Parameter value

This structure must be used for each parameter. For example:

SOAP.Value[1] = 94010
SOAP.Name[1] = "ZipCode"
SOAP.Type[1] = SOAPStringType

This structure is equivalent to:

SOAP.XMLParam[1] = <ZipCode xsi:type="xsd:string">94010</ZipCode>

Type of parameter

The type of parameter can be:

Constant	Type

SOAPBase64BinaryType	Binary
SOAPHexBinaryType	Hexadecimal binary
SOAPBooleanType	Boolean
SOAPStringType	Character string
SOAPNormalizedStringType	Character string without carriage return (CR) and without tabulation (TAB)
SOAPDecimalType	Any number without limit
SOAPIntType	Integer included between - 2 147 483 648 and + 2 147 483 647)
SOAPShortType	Short integer
SOAPUnsignedShortType	Unsigned short integer
SOAPIntegerType	Integer (no limit)
SOAPLongType	Long integer
SOAPUnsignedLongType	Long unsigned integer
SOAPNegativeIntegerType	Negative integer (except 0)
SOAPNonNegativeIntegerType	Non-negative integer
SOAPNonPositiveIntegerType	Non-positive integer
SOAPUnsignedIntType	Unsigned integer
SOAPPositiveIntegerType	Positive integer (except 0)
SOAPByteType	Byte
SOAPUnsignedByteType	Unsigned byte
SOAPFloatType	Real
SOAPDoubleType	Double real
SOAPAnyURIType	URL address

Call to SOAPRun

After the call to SOAPRun:

The procedure parameters are deleted.
The structure of the header specified with SOAPAddHeader is deleted.
SOAPGetResult returns the result of the procedure run.
SOAPError returns the error message of the procedure run.

Managing errors

SOAPRun returns False if no communication was established with the SOAP server. To get more details on the error, use ErrorInfo with the errMessage constant.

Caution: SOAPRun can return False with a correct result if this one contains the ":fault" text.

Special case: "405 Method not allowed" error
This error means that the "/.soap" string is missing at the end of the URL of the SOAP server powered by WINDEV. This error can also occur if the Web server is not configured to use the WINDEV SOAP server.
