Hello, I have encountered some strange behaviour when using the
XMLHTTP Request object in Javascript to return xml from a C#
Webservice Method. I create a SOAP envelope and send it off to the
Webservice, which I have debug points in, which when hit I can see
that all the parameters are coming thru as null. I can't figure out
why this is, any experts out there would be a great help.
Here is my Javascript:
function showMsga()
{
if(window.ActiveXObject) {
try {
req = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
}
catch(e) {
try {
req = new
ActiveXObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP"); }
catch(e) {
req = false;
}
}
}
else if(window.XmlHttpRequest) {
try {
req = new XmlHttpRequest();
}
catch(e) {
req = false;
}
}
var wer = window.location;
if(req) {
var strEnvelope = "<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"utf-8\"?>
\n"+
"<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=\" http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\""
+
" xmlns:xsd=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema\""
+
" xmlns:soap= \"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\">
\n" +
"<soap:Body>\n" +
"<MyMethod xmlns=\"https://freedom.org/MyService\">\n" +
"<tpid xsi:type=\"xsd:string\">3083</tpid>\n" +
"<poid xsi:type=\"xsd:string\">1045</poid>\n" +
"</MyMethod>" + "</soap:Body>" + "</soap:Envelope>";
req.onreadystatechange = GetMessage;
req.open("POST","http://"+window.location.hostname+"/MyService/
Service.asmx",true);
req.setrequestheader("Content-type", "text/xml");
req.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction","https://freedom.org/MyMethod");
req.send(strEnvelope);
}
}
here is the C# for the WebService method
[WebMethod]
public string MyMethod(string tpid, string poid)
{
int userID = Users2.GetUserID();
DataProvider dp = DataProvider.Instance();
if(Convert.ToInt32(poid)>0)
{
return dp.GetPostDetail(Convert.ToInt32(poid), userID);
}
else
{
return dp.GetTopicDetail(Convert.ToInt32(tpid), userID);
}
}
originally the method took integers but I switched them to strings in
the hope they would work,
any and all comments and hints are greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Matt

I would run a packet sniffer or a Soap message tracing tool to see what's
actually being sent. You should also be able to invoke the WebService using
an HTTP Get request without having to go through all the hoops and hollers
required for SOAP. just fyi.
