Hi

I am try to understand SOAP how do you work with this
if I am try to get GetCapitalByCountryResult to textbox

do you write the soap respond to xml file and then read it to the textbox
or do I need to get the string when I get the respond

I use this web service
http://www.ezzylearning.com/services/CountryInformationService.asmx?wsdl

this is what I get from the web service using SoapUI
B4X:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
   <soap:Body>
      <GetCapitalByCountryResponse xmlns="http://www.ezzylearning.com/services/CountryInformationService.asmx">
         <GetCapitalByCountryResult>Madrid</GetCapitalByCountryResult>
      </GetCapitalByCountryResponse>
   </soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>


this is when I use basic4android
B4X:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<soap:Body>
<GetCapitalByCountryResponse xmlns="http://www.ezzylearning.com/services/CountryInformationService.asmx">
<GetCapitalByCountryResult>Madrid</GetCapitalByCountryResult>
</GetCapitalByCountryResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

HI

Yes I was thinking about to extract the required values from the XML to textbox
was checking what is the best way to do this
so I will check out forum about XML library

will B4A have SOAP library in the future ?


Not sure that I understand the question. I guess that you will want to parse the response with the XML library and extract the required values from the XML.

For such simple XML-parsing you could also use a sub like this (for well-formed XML-strings):
B4X:
Sub xmlGetTagContent(xml As String, tag As String) As String

   Dim i, j As Int

   'Find start-tag:
   i = xml.IndexOf("<" & tag & ">")
   If i < 0 Then i = xml.IndexOf("<" & tag & " ")
   If i < 0 Then Return Null
   i = xml.IndexOf2(">", i) + 1
   
   'Find stop-tag:
   j = xml.LastIndexOf("</" & tag & ">")
   If i < j Then
      Return xml.SubString2(i, j)
   Else
      Return Null
   End If

End Sub

So you can write xmlGetTagContent(xml, "GetCapitalByCountryResult") to get the requested result.

This code works:
B4X:
Sub Activity_Create(FirstTime As Boolean)
   Dim j As HttpJob
   j.Initialize("j", Me)
   Dim msg As String = File.ReadString(File.DirAssets, "request.xml")
   msg = msg.Replace("$COUNTRYNAME$", "brazil")
   Log(msg)
   j.PostString("http://www.ezzylearning.com/services/CountryInformationService.asmx", _
      msg)
   j.GetRequest.SetContentType("application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8")
End Sub

Sub JobDone (Job As HttpJob)
   Log("JobName = " & Job.JobName & ", Success = " & Job.Success)
   If Job.Success = True Then
      Log(Job.GetString)
   Else
      Log("Error: " & Job.ErrorMessage)
      ToastMessageShow("Error: " & Job.ErrorMessage, True)
   End If
   Job.Release
End Sub

You should create a file with the following text and add it to the Files tab:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope">
<soap12:Body>
<GetCapitalByCountry xmlns="http://www.ezzylearning.com/services/CountryInformationService.asmx">
<countryName>$COUNTRYNAME$</countryName>
</GetCapitalByCountry>
</soap12:Body>
</soap12:Envelope>

Running into a strange problem while trying to use this code...
It might be that I am on the current version 2.71 (Jun-2013) where the httputil2 lib is now included.

Anyway the line:
B4X:
j.GetRequest.SetContentType("application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8")
will not compile. The error is:

B4X:
Parsing code.                           0.02
Compiling code.                         Error
Error compiling program.
Error description: Unknown type: anywheresoftware.b4a.http.HttpClientWrapper.HttpUriRequestWrapper
Are you missing a library reference?
Occurred on line: 35
    j.GetRequest.SetContentType("application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8")
Word: setcontenttype

I have included the httputils2 (2.01) and stringutils (1.02) in the libs
Ideas?
