Web Service Clients without Web References

D

Doug Holland

I'm trying to write web service proxy class such as that autogenerated by
adding a Web Service (e.g. Reference.cs) which inherits from
SoapHttpClientProtocol.

Even when my class is a near duplicate of that found within Reference.cs
with the only differences being that I don't use fully qualified namespaces I
have a problem calling a HelloWorld WebMethod.

Using the autogenerated class the following code:

object[] results = this.Invoke("HelloWorld", new object[0]);
return ((string)(results[0]));

Successfully returns "Hello World" in the first element of the object array.

Using my class which also contains:

object[] results = this.Invoke("HelloWorld", new object[0]);
return ((string)(results[0]));

and successfully steps into the Web Method using the debugger ... returns
null in the first element of the object array.

In my proxy component I don't have the other files generated by a Web
Reference such as the .disco, .wsdl, and .map files, is this my problem?

Thanks in advance

Doug Holland

PS: The motivation for my own proxy object is that the web service to talk
to would be set in a database and it may well actually talk to more than one
web servcie. Because the webservice isn't known at compile time, just the
'interface', I can't do that with a standard Web Reference which fixes the
URL.

Hi Doug,

You need to match the namespace expectations in the proxy code so that the
namespace the client looks for matches the namespace of the data on the
wire. The generated proxy code which you didn't show (and possibly take
into account) is the Xml*Attribute markup that accompanies the code in the
generated proxy.

Namespace is very important in deserializing. What is happening is an
element with a specific namespace is encountered on the wire, but no
corresponding members in the calling code are marked as being the match for
the data received. You cannot successfully say that the element names
match so why doesn't it just work. In XML, the namespace is an intricate
part of the data contract. If you add the attributes that make the
generated code work, you will find that the members serialize back
correctly.

I hope this helps,

I actually had the exact same SoapDocumentMethodAttribute adorning my
HelloWorld method (shown below), and the request and response namespaces are
the same as in the autogenerated class ... I omitted them in the last e-mail
to enhance readability.

Is the SoapDocumentMethodAttribute attribute properties what you were
refering to when discussing namespaces (e.g. http://tempuri.org)?

As stated in the original e-mail ... essentially the only difference is that
I'm omitting the fully qualified namespaces and ommitting 'Attribute' off the
name of the custom attributes.


[SoapDocumentMethod("http://tempuri.org/HelloWorld",
RequestNamespace="http://tempuri.org/",
ResponseNamespace="http://tempuri.org/", Use=SoapBindingUse.Literal,
ParameterStyle=SoapParameterStyle.Wrapped)]
public string HelloWorld()
{
object[] results = this.Invoke("HelloWorld", new object[0]);

return results[0] as string;
}

Thanks in advance

It appears I was missing the final '\' in the namespace
"http://tempuri.org/", I didn't notice the difference until about 5 mins ago.

Thanks

Hi Doug,

Great. Yes, the namespace matching exactly is critical to successful
serialization.

Glad you got it working
