I want to send an operation request to a WSDL and have attempted to use the Webrequest activity.  I can run the workflow and the definition of the WSDL is returned.  How do I pass a specific operation and parameters (in xml) to the WSDL.  The xml I'm wanting to pass looks something like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

 

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:tns0="urn:Document">

 

  <soap:Body soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">

 

    <tns0:getDocumentsByExternalId>

 

      <in1 xsi:type="xsd:string">105970</in1>

 

      <in2 xsi:type="xsd:string">USERNAME</in2>

 

      <in3 xsi:type="xsd:string">PASSWORD</in3>

 

      <in4 xsi:type="xsd:boolean">true</in4>

 

    </tns0:getDocumentsByExternalId>

 

  </soap:Body>

 

</soap:Envelope>

 

I've looked at the various examples of Web Request with Headers that Ryan Cooney created but I'm not finding what I think I need.   Any help would be appreciated.

  Hi Dan,

  I did something similiar using a C# script based on an example I found in the forum. Here's a link:

  (https://support.geocortex.com/essentialsGSCForum?sub-nav=forum&main-nav=essentials&feedtype=SINGLE_QUESTION_SEARCH_RESULT&id=90660000000092QAAQ) "How to set Content-Type in a webrequest"  

  You basically have to build your request payload as a string and use the C# WebClient to post.

  I pass values from the selected feature in as arguments using "RunWorkflowWithArguments" (in this case a "gisid"). The activity paramaters I have set are:

  • url (this is a string that contains the service endpoint)
  • gisId (this is a string to hold the argument value of the identified feature)
  • response (this is a byte-array to store the response from the web service call)     

  Here is the C# script activity from my workflow:

      using(WebClient client = new WebClient())

   

      {

   

      byte[] soapMsg = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetBytes("<s:Envelope xmlns:s='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/'><s:Body><GetRecords><gisid>" + gisId + "</gisid></GetRecords></s:Body></s:Envelope>");

   

      client.Headers[HttpRequestHeader.ContentType] = "text/xml; charset=utf-8";

   

      client.Headers.Add("SOAPAction", "urn:Service/GetRecords");

   

      response = client.UploadData(url, "POST", soapMsg);

   

      }

  Hope this helps!
