SOAPPrepare (Function)

In french: SOAPPrepare

Builds the SOAP request for calling a web service function.

Example

// Standard call that uses the full call to a WebService method
stParam1 is Param1
stParam1.String = "a string"
stParam1.Int = 2
stRet is Result1
stRet = MyFunction(stParam1)

// Equivalent call defining the buffer 
// and using SOAPRunXML
stParam1 is Param1
stParam1.String = "a string"
stParam1.Int = 2
byBuffer is Buffer = SOAPPrepare(MyFunction, stParam1)
// The action must have the following syntax "urn:<Web service name>/FunctionName"
// <Nom du Webservice>: often this is the name of the wsdl file (without the extension)
SOAPRunXML("http://localhost/webservice/", byBuffer, "urn:MyWebservice/MyFunction")

Syntax

<Result> = SOAPPrepare(<Function name> [, <Parameter 1> [... [, <Parameter N>]]])

<Result>: Buffer

XML buffer containing the generated SOAP request.

<Function name>: Character string

Web service function for which the SOAP request must be built.

<Parameter 1>: Variant

First parameter of the web service function.

<Parameter N>: Variant

Nth parameter of web service function.

Remarks

SOAPPrepare SOAPPrepare builds the SOAP request that would be sent to the web service during a call to one of its functions without running the request.

Then, the generated buffer can be sent by SOAPRunXML.

The returned buffer contains the XML stream encoded in UTF8. The buffer does not contain the HTTP header (indicating the SOAP Action, the content-type, etc.). The headers are automatically added by SOAPRunXML.
