Hi all, I am a Junior Developer, I have taken over someone's implementation of a web service and am struggling. They used python to access the methods. I can access the web service via Python and connect it to our databases, but it is really slow. I believe that PHP would make it faster, but I am not able to make the right connections. Any help would be really appreciated. I have included some code snippets below, Thank you, Jim ###################################################################### Python ###################################################################### #!/usr/bin/python ###################################################################### # Module imports ###################################################################### from suds.client import Client from suds.wsse import * from xml.dom import minidom import MySQLdb ###################################################################### # Address Interface. ###################################################################### class Address(object): def __init__(self, ttl=600): # Constants. self._USERNAME = 'username' self._PASSWORD = 'password' self._address_search_url = 'https://jim.svc?wsdl' # SOAP security setup. self._security = Security() self._token = UsernameToken(self._USERNAME, self._PASSWORD) self._security.tokens.append(self._token) #print 'Starting Address Search.' self._address_search_client = Client(self._address_search_url) self._address_search_client.set_options(wsse=self._security) # Addresses. ######################################################## def address_search_by_postcode(self, postcode): RegsRegionType = self._address_search_client.factory.create('ns1:RegsRegionType') regs_region = RegsRegionType.Scotland address_data = self._address_search_client.service.SearchAddressByPostCode(regs_region, RegisterType.Domestic, postcode, '') addrs = [] for addr in address_data.keys.string: address_dom = minidom.parseString(addr.encode('utf-8')) ob = {} #Get addr details addrs.append(ob) return addrs ###################################################################### def get_data(d, t): try: return d.getElementsByTagName(t)[0].childNodes[0].data except: return None ###################################################################### PHP ###################################################################### <?php error_reporting(E_ALL); ini_set('display_errors', 'on'); $username = "username"; $password = 'password'; $wsdl = "https://jim.svc?wsdl"; // SOAP security setup $options = array( 'login' => $username, 'password' => $password, ); /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Connect ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// $client = new SoapClient($wsdl, $options); ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// define wsse security ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// $securityNamespace="http://docs.oasis-open.org/wss/2004/01/oasis-200401-wss-wssecurity-secext-1.0.xsd"; $headerContent = "<o:Security xmlns:o=\"$securityNamespace\"> <o:UsernameToken> <o:Username>USERNAME</o:Username> <o:Password>PASSWORD</o:Password> </o:UsernameToken> </o:Security>"; $headerVar = new SoapVar($headerContent, XSD_ANYXML, null, null, null); $header = new SoapHeader($securityNamespace, 'o:Security', $headerVar); ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Authenticate ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// $client->__setSoapHeaders(array($header)); var_dump($client->__getFunctions()); try{ $result = $client->SearchAddressByPostCode($regsRegion, $registerType, $postCode, " "); print_r($result); }catch (SoapFault $exception){ var_dump($exception); } print('done'); ?> ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// END ////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// Hope someone can help and point me in the right direction Thanks JIm

I'm new to soap and webservices , and wanting to know do I have to use soap with a wsdl file, or can I use something else like json?

I did some searching on this issue and all the solutions that seemed to be similar did not work for my problem. Anyways, I need to make a SOAP call with a sequence in it, yet soapClient doesn't seem to be converting my object into the correct soap call (it is leaving out the sequence). Below is the part of the wsdl that I cant seem to get, along with the object that I am sending, and lastly the request that soapClient is translating my object into. Any help would be much appreciated. wsdl: <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="option.list"> <xs:complexType> <xs:complexContent> <xs:extension base="cmn:ArrayType"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" minOccurs="0" name="option.list"> <xs:complexType> <xs:complexContent> <xs:extension base="cmn:StructureType"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="SubItemId" nillable="true" type="cmn:DecimalType"/> <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="SubOptions" nillable="true" type="cmn:StringType"/> <xs:element minOccurs="0" name="SubItemName" nillable="true" type="cmn:StringType"/> </xs:sequence> </xs:extension> </xs:complexContent> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:sequence> </xs:extension> </xs:complexContent> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> my object: [option.list] => Array ( [0] => Array ( [option.list] => Array ( [SubItemId] => 0 [SubOptions] => <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?><form><select id="DBMS" label="DBMS type:" style="combo">MS SQL<option label="" /><option id="0" label="DB2">DB2</option><option id="1" label="IMS">IMS</option><option id="2" label="MS SQL">MS SQL</option><option id="3" label="Oracle">Oracle</option><option id="4" label="UDB">UDB</option></select><select id="Type" label="lation Type:" style="combo">Add New Instance<option label="" /><option id="0" label="Add New Environment">Add New Environment</option><option id="1" label="Add New Instance">Add New Instance</option><option id="2" label="Add New Database">Add New Database</option><option id="3" label="Modify Environment">Modify Environment</option><option id="4" label="Modify Instance">Modify Instance</option><option id="5" label="Modify Database">Modify Database</option><option id="6" label="Retire Environment">Retire Environment</option><option id="7" label="Retire Instance">Retire Instance</option><option id="8" label="Retire Database">Retire Database</option></select><select id="Complexity" label="xity:" style="combo">Complex [+$2500.00]<option label="" /><option id="0" label="Simple [+$500.00]">Simple [+$500.00]</option><option id="1" label="Medium [+$1000.00]">Medium [+$1000.00]</option><option id="2" label="Complex [+$2500.00]">Complex [+$2500.00]</option></select><select id="RecoveryTier" label="rability Tier:" style="combo">Tier 2<option label="" /><option id="0" label="Tier 1">Tier 1</option><option id="1" label="Tier 2">Tier 2</option><option id="2" label="Tier 3">Tier 3</option></select><select id="Backup" label=" Backup Required?" style="combo">Yes<option label="" /><option id="0" label="Yes">Yes</option><option id="1" label="No">No</option></select><select id="Replication" label=" tables require replication?" style="combo">UDB Dprop<option label="" /><option id="0" label="UDB Dprop">UDB Dprop</option><option id="1" label="Goldengate">Goldengate</option><option id="2" label="ASM">ASM</option><option id="3" label="No">No</option></select></form> [SubItemName] => DB Modification ) ) ) generated request: <ns1:option.list><ns1:option.list/></ns1:option.list>

I am new here, and not sure if this is the right place to put this, anyways I had a question about wsdl2php and php Soap Client. I need to send SOAP requests from a PHP applications and I am trying to use wsdl2php to generate the needed classes. (Did this a few times in the past with no issues.) Anyways, this time I am running into an issue where the WSDL has '.' in the element names and there are also nested element names. below is a section of the wsdl that shows this. -<xs:element name="option.list" minOccurs="0">-<xs:complexType>-<xs:complexContent>-<xs:extension base="cmn:ArrayType">-<xs:sequence>-<xs:element name="option.list" minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded">-<xs:complexType>-<xs:complexContent>-<xs:extension base="cmn:StructureType">-<xs:sequence><xs:element name="FromBundle" type="cmn:DecimalType" nillable="true" minOccurs="0"/><xs:element name="SubItemId" type="cmn:DecimalType" nillable="true" minOccurs="0"/><xs:element name="SubItemName" type="cmn:StringType" nillable="true" minOccurs="0"/><xs:element name="SubItemType" type="cmn:StringType" nillable="true" minOccurs="0"/><xs:element name="SubOptions" type="cmn:StringType" nillable="true" minOccurs="0"/><xs:element name="SubOptionValidations" type="cmn:StringType" nillable="true" minOccurs="0"/><xs:element name="SubOptionCosts" type="cmn:StringType" nillable="true" minOccurs="0"/><xs:element name="SubItemOptionInBundle" type="cmn:StringType" nillable="true" minOccurs="0"/><xs:element name="SubItemQuantityInBundle" type="cmn:DecimalType" nillable="true" minOccurs="0"/><xs:element name="SubItemOptionIdInBundle" type="cmn:StringType" nillable="true" minOccurs="0"/></xs:sequence></xs:extension></xs:complexContent></xs:complexType></xs:element></xs:sequence></xs:extension></xs:complexContent></xs:complexType></xs:element> So, wsdl2php is creating classes with a '.' in them and also declaring classes twice because of the nested element names. If anyone has any ideas on how I can get these soap requests working, or have seen this before, I would be very apprciative. Thanks, Mike

Dear Gurus, I need to write an application that can send and receive SOAP messages, following a WSDL specification supplied by a third party. I am a bit stuck of how to exactly follow it and remain functional. Here is a snippet from the WSDL: 01: <s:element name="SubscriptionRequestContainer"> 02: <s:complexType> 03: <s:sequence> 04: <s:element minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" name="SubscriptionRequest" type="tns:SubscriptionRequestItemCollection"> 05: <s:unique name="uniqueUnitId"> 06: <s:selector xpath="Add|Renew|Delete"/> 07: <s:field xpath="@UnitId"/> 08: </s:unique> 09: </s:element> 10: </s:sequence> 11: </s:complexType> 12: </s:element> 13: 14: <s:complexType name="SubscriptionRequestItemCollection"> 15: <s:sequence> 16: <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="Add" type="tns:SubscriptionRequestAddItem" /> 17: <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="Renew" type="tns:SubscriptionRequestRenewItem" /> 18: <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="unbounded" name="Delete" type="tns:SubscriptionRequestDeleteItem" /> 19: </s:sequence> 20: </s:complexType> I must admit I am new to WSDL. That's why I do not fully understand what lines 05 - 08 mean. It must be some definition of how to make sure the names of sections at the same hierarchical level are unique in the resulting SOAP request, thus they can be accessed independently, by name. Can someone help me interpret this definition and explain what the names of the resulting SubscriptionRequest entries should be? Could they be Activate@001, Activate@099, Renew@012 - or how to properly interpret lines 05-08 above? Big-big thanks in advance, Tom

Hi All, I'm not 100% sure if this is the place to be posting for help with this. I have managed to get some source code for a SMS PHP page. However I am having some problems getting it to work, mainly because I'm not 1005 sure how to configure it, and if I need to make any toher changes to the code in order to incorporate my SMS gateway. The error message I am getting is: "SMS Sending Failed Message:Network error unable to send the message", this mesage is however coded into the code.
