My C # application will give me nothing but null results for SOAP calls.
We released some PeopleSoft ERP data using the SOAP web service.
I am accessing this SOAP service from a Visual Studio 2012 ASP.NET C # application. I have a Service Reference named CampusDirectoryService built using the WSDL generated by ERP.
Here's the C # code:
var service = new CampusDirectoryService.TEST_PortTypeClient(); var input = new CampusDirectoryService.InputParameters(); input.First_Name = FirstNameBox.Text; input.Last_Name = LastNameBox.Text; var returnData = service.TEST_OP(input);
The returnData problem returnData always zero. Through Wireshark, I confirmed that I am actually getting a valid SOAP response with the data. returnData must not be null.
I confirmed the correct valid results from the SOAP service through soapUI . By sending the same SOAP request that .NET sends (I copied it from Wireshark), I get the expected results.
Here's the SOAP request:
<s:Envelope xmlns:s="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <s:Body xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <InputParameters xmlns="http://xmlns.oracle.com/Enterprise/Tools/schemas"> <Last_Name xmlns="">cambre</Last_Name> <First_Name xmlns="">aren</First_Name> </InputParameters> </s:Body> </s:Envelope>
Here's the SOAP response, with some internal data inside the ReturnID element, confused or deleted:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"> <soapenv:Body> <root xmlns="http://peoplesoft.com/rootResponse"> <ReturnID> <PRF_Name>Cambre,Aren</PRF_Name> <Camp_Email> valid@email.com </Camp_Email> </ReturnID> </root> </soapenv:Body> </soapenv:Envelope>
The method return type is TEST_OP CampusDirectoryService.rootReturnID[] .
Why is returnData always null?
UPDATE For comment, I checked the posts using soapUI. He curses the answer with this message:
line -1: missing part of the message with the name [{ http://xmlns.oracle.com/Enterprise/Tools/schemas } root]
Here is the XSD for the answer:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xs:schema targetNamespace="http://xmlns.oracle.com/Enterprise/Tools/schemas" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <xs:element name="root"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="ReturnID"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="PRF_Name" type="xs:string" /> <xs:element name="Camp_Email" type="xs:string" /> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema>
Is the XSD supposed to check that soapenv:Body inside, or should it check the whole response, including soapenv:Envelope and soapenv:Body elements? It seems like soapUI expects XSD to check the whole response, not just what's inside soapenv:Body .
Here's the WSDL:
