Hi,

I have created an application that uses SOAP interface about 15-20 years ago and it has worked without problems. I created service and proxies from WSDL and in code used it

SoapConnection conn
conn = create SoapConnection

rval = conn.CreateInstance(px_service,"jtj_jasentuontirajapintaservice",str_endpoint) 

Now I'm trying to convert it to use HTTPClient using code

inv_http = CREATE HTTPCLIENT
rval = inv_http.CreateInstance(px_service,"jtj_jasentuontirajapintaservice",str_endpoint)

But the compiler complains Unkown function name : createinstance.

What am I doing wrong?

BR, Hannu

Hi Hannu;

  You will now need to use the PBDOM feature to parse / build the XML data stream.

Thanks for the advices, they were helpful.

One more problem : Is it possible to use my old web service proxies and extract the XML from them? Or do I have start using PBDOM tools to create the XML?

BR, Hannu

Actually I have created variables based on web proxies and populated them with data. Problem is how to convert the data in then into text so I could merge it with the message body.

Hi.

That's because httpclient doesn't have such a function. You created your object using the create statement. Now you are ready to do all the settings needed to the client, and the do a request (using probably sendrequest function). You would then expect a response, again, using using one of the getresonse* functions.

I suggest you read carefully the documentation provided for the httpclient (HTTPClient object - - Objects and Controls (appeon.com)).

Andreas.

Previously I have used that proxy to create the XML, which is quite complicated one. Is there any I could still use that proxy with HTTPClient?

No, HTTPClient doesn't support that. Please follow the documentation links that Andreas and Chris provided to you.
