    reteset,

    Thanks for that explanation. It helped a lot to clear up the information about SOAP.

    Cheers,

    SOAP is already ( HTTP - POST )

    although, its explanation is "Simple Object Access Protocol" , it works over HTTP
    SOAP is only a communication standard , not a custom protocol

    for example HTML

    this is a standard
    Code:
    <html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
    if a web browser attemps to read this code , it knows that this is a html code (because it is a standard)
    so you do not have to tell browser what this code is


    this is your own trendy one

    Code:
    <my-html>
<my-head>
</my-head>
<my-body>
</my-body>
</my-html>
    if a web browser attemps to read this code , it does not know what is this code (because it is not a standard)
    so you have to tell browser what this code is
    or you have to create a custom browser for your code

    if you are building your own application and server side will be accesible only by your application then you can use your own system

    but if you build a server that will be accesible by the applications developed by others
    choosing SOAP would be good idea

    although , SOAP is abit outdated , it is in use by many organisations
    for example : in my country , all of government e-services are based on SOAP

    Reteset,

    This is an older thread, but I am revisiting an old situation and rethinking the process.

    I know that Friethoe asked how to do this using SOAP, but is there any reason to use SOAP, rather than HTTP GET or POST? Assuming that a service, like http://www.webservicex.net, supports SOAP & HTTP protocols, why would you choose one protocol over another?

    Thanks as always,
    MadDogDean

    Hi Reteset,

    I want you to know that it works now. Can't thank you enough!
    The example was just what I needed to figure out the works

    This will save me so much time in gathering information.
    Each time I start my tool, I will think about ya

    Awsome!!!

    here is a simple example of SOAP

    this retrieves weather information from a free service
    this example only shows how to send a request to service and get response back

    setting envelope XML and parsing response is your own work
    Attached Files

    Hi Resetet,

    I tried it, but somehow I do something completely wrong.

    Is it too much to ask for a small sample APZ so I can see how it need to be done to make things work?
    I would be so thankful.

    To give you an idea of what I am trying to do, i can show you a link:
    http://stats.smartertools.com/Servic...ivityForServer

    I would like to make this in AMS so I can access the data easily.

    Can you point me in the right direction with a small sample?
    That would be great!

    yes that's possible with LuaCom
    SOAP is a transaction over HTTP , so LuaCom should work

    there is also a SDK available by MS that simplifies the task but you need to install some files (ActiveX ) to target machine , you need to use Luacom as well to access COM

    so using HTTP directly via Luacom is best option you have

    take a look at the sample i posted here , for another purpose

    for example when you want to set a header for example SOAPAction

    Code:
    GoogleCal:SetRequestHeader("Content-type", "text/xml" );
GoogleCal:SetRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "some string to service" );
    you will send your XML envelope like below

    Code:
    GoogleCal:Send("<soapenv:Envelope>.......");
    after you get a HTTP success code

    Code:
    GoogleCal.Status == 200
    the ResponseText will contain response of service (as XML)

    Code:
    GoogleCal.ResponseText
    so you can parse result XML via XML actions and get desired result

    AMS unfortunately doesn't support SOAP natively but their is a lua module that would allow you to use SOAP with AMS: http://www.keplerproject.org/luasoap/

    started a topic Does AMS support SOAP

    Does AMS support SOAP

    I have a question; does AMS support SOAP, originally defined as Simple Object Access Protocol?

    I need to post data via web services, but don't know if I can do this with AMS.

    Is there someone in this forum who knows the answer??

    Thanks.
