NuSOAP & Webservices Help

monk-i · 24-02-06

Hi Guys,

Im in a bit of a small pickle. Im busy trying to dip my toe into the webservices pool but im not getting very far.

I have access to a webservice which I can't say publicly with access to the models etc.

Im using PHP and NuSOAP as it appears to be the easiest. It all seems to be hooking up to my knowledge but the web service is coming back saying that the first function I need to call does not exist but the model says that it does in WSDL.

If someone who has dabbled in this already could help me out of a hole I would appreciate it. I think it is something simple to do with the NuSOAP code in PHP ive setup but I can't see where. Appreciate its.

The code :

PHP Code:


			
<?php 



/* Include the NuSOAP library. */



require_once('nusoap.php');



//$params = array('UserID' => 'TEST', 'Password' => 'test', 'LanguageCode' => 'ENG'); 

        

$params = '<StartSessionRequest xmlns="http://domainforservice.com/service">

  <UserId>TEST</UserId> 

  <Password>test</Password> 

  <LanguageCode>ENG</LanguageCode> 

  </StartSessionRequest>';        

               

$client = new soapclient('http://domainforservice.com/service', 'wsdl'); 





/* Call the taxCalc() function, passing the parameter list. */ 

$response = $client->call('StartSessionRequest', $params);





/* Display request and response to debug. */

echo '<h2>Request</h2>';

echo '<pre>' . htmlspecialchars($client->request, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';

echo '<h2>Response</h2>';

echo '<pre>' . htmlspecialchars($client->response, ENT_QUOTES) . '</pre>';





/*  handle any SOAP faults. */ 

if ($client->fault) { 

    echo "FAULT: <p>Code: {$client->faultcode}<br />"; 

    echo "String: {$client->faultstring}"; 

} else { 

    echo $response; 

} 



?> 

</body> 

</html>

The response/error I get from the web service is as follows.

Code:

Response
HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error
SOAPAction: ""
Content-Type: text/xml;charset=utf-8
Date: Fri, 24 Feb 2006 11:12:02 GMT

FAULT: 
Code: env:Client
String: JAXRPCTIE01: caught exception while handling request: unrecognized operation: {http://tempuri.org}StartSessionRequest

Thanks guys really appreciate it. If you want further details I would be happy to give via PM

Try prepending the namespace to your method call; using the line:

PHP Code:


			
$response = $client->call('ns0:StartSessionRequest', $params);

Ah Ha! Getting somewhere! A new error!

Code:

FAULT: 
Code: env:Server
String: JAXRPC.TIE.04: Internal Server Error (JAXRPCTIE01: caught exception while handling request: com.sun.xml.messaging.saaj.SOAPExceptionImpl: Unable to create envelope from given source: )

At least its moved forward. Im just after getting some initialy successful communication going and then I can go from there.

Thanks mate for the help its appreciated.

Just thought id tell you all that I switched to PHP 5.1 from PHP 4.x. The built in SOAP features work great and ive been making good progress. Advise the same for anyone else wanting to use SOAP.
