Soap C#

Hi

Does anyone have a suggestion for accessing a soap webservice from Unity C# (without the proxy dll's if that is a problem in the webplayer).

JScript would also be fine as long as I'm able to access the results from within C#.

The only libraries and samples I seem to encounter during Google searches are the one with a 'wdsl.exe' generated stub/dll or samples using 'system.web.services' which is not present in unity3D v2.5.

 

Hi,

I found a lot of code concerning the WWW and WWWForm object. My major problem is that soap calls expect HTTP POST content. The question is how do I get either the WWW or WWWForm object to post headers and a body.

WWWForm.AddBinaryData (used in a lot of examples) isn't usefull as it needs a (form)field name to attach the binary data too.

And unfortunatly, the WWWForm.data property is read-only, so of no use either.

My code (simplyfied)

Code (csharp):

1.  
2.  WWWForm form = new WWWForm();
3.  form.AddField("Content-Type", "application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8");
4.  
5.  WWW www = new WWW (url, envelope, form.headers);
6.  Debug.Log("Data2: "+ enc.GetString(envelope));
7.  
8.  //Wait until [url]www.iDone[/url] etc.
9.  

Any suggstions?

 

Hi,

Got some code working but are left with some mysteries I cannot find answers to on this forum.

The code below is a combination of variosu pieces of code I found on the forum (thanks all for posting!) and features synchronous and asynchronous retrieval of a soap response (no encoding / decoding is done yet on the xml envelopes).

The problems still bugging me:

1) When I remove the line
Debug.Log("I'm waiting... ");
in IEWaitaSec, the Async request hangs and never returns.
2) The async mode logs the same timestamp twice for before and after the request. There should be at least some difference.
3) The async mode fails in the browser (IE8) but works in the Standalone Windows Executable.

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. using UnityEngine;
3. using System;
4. using System.Collections;
5.  
6. public partial class SoapDemo : MonoBehaviour {
7.  
8.     private Rect clientrect;

Same problem here.
And no answer in the forum...

Have you tried the using the webservices with the HTTP GET interface instead the SOAP one?

http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl#_http-e

We have not tried it yet, but it is feasible to implement something quite simple with the WWW class and the GET way of calling the webservices, and since it does not uses SOAP it should be easier to code.

 

Hi,

I have something working now (it uses post only fails when I use synchronous mode in a browser app).

The C# script accepts a hashtable with 'parameter=value' pairs as input and performs the request after whch it returns another hashtable with the results found.

I'm currently testing tweaking it a bit more and will post it once it's working against more than one service.

 

Hi

Attached is a first version of a Soap Object that can be used to access various services without the need to generate dll's.

For passing parameters and results it uses a treelike datastructure that allows complex data to be added without using xml. For obtaining results an xpath query is used to determine the exact location of the results in the response envelope.

The object hides all the details of the soap call. It can return either a single records or an array of records.

For the Bing Demo you need a valid developer BingAppId or you will receive a Soap Error.

 

Hi,

Thanks for putting this together. I'm trying to build this to take a look to see if it meets my needs. I'm trying it on Unity iPhone 1.5. Is there anything special I need to do to get it to build?

When I include those in a folder the Assets directory, I get the following output. Any ideas?

Assets/Scripts/GuiScript.cs(5,55): error CS1041: Identifier expected (Filename: Assets/Scripts/GuiScript.cs Line: 5)

Hi,

This is all there is. It almost seems like the iphone's mono version does not handle generics or the alias made with the using statement on line 5/6/7 of guiscript and others.

Only thing that can be done (if the iphone supports generics but not the aliassing) is to expand all aliasses to the full name. It will make the code somewhat harder to read.

 

Hi,

Is there any way to do it in ios(iPhones & iPads)?, like plugin or any.....please
