Jason,
I am not sure if this will help you, but here goes. I did a quick test a
while ago to see if VB would work with Axis SOAP. I used MS SOAP 3.0. I did
NOT generate wrapper classes for the VB client instead, I let MS Soap do the
work for me. The wsdl I used was one generated using axis (however it needed
to be edited to put in the correct schema types, i.e. look at wsdl:types in
the wsdl included below). The VB code extract would look likee;
Dim sc As MSSOAPLib30.SoapClient30
Set sc = New MSSOAPLib30.SoapClient30
sc.MSSoapInit "E:\bdTests\axis\combined.wsdl"
Dim xmlOid As String
'NB -> In a real worl scenario some mapping here would be required
to change from an Oid to the XML below
xmlOid = "<Oid
xmlns=""http://www.fineos.com/XMLSchema/ta"";>PE:03003:0000034456</Oid>"
'OidOutputBox.Text = sc.myTestCallOid(xmlOid)
'The result returned is a SOAP message which needs to be parsed for
the return value
Set test = sc.myTestCallOid(xmlOid)
'NB:-> I did not test INOU/OUT values
OidOutputBox.Text = test.context.lastChild.xml
I hope this gives you some idea as to how to go forward,
Brian

Subject: Axis and VB.NET compatibility.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
I am looking for a very simple and definitive answer to a question. I
have an EJB accessed via soap through AXIS, which returns a number of
different types, including a number of complex types. When I used WSDL
supplied with the .NET Framework, it generates the wrapper classes to make
the soap calls, and this code in fact calls the server, and diagnostics
shows it is a valid, and well formed request. When the soap document is
returned .net is unable to handle it, complaining about Error in document
(5,5). I am assuming this is a marshalling issue with the complex types
involved.
My question is, is this problem solvable(I have seen it asked many times,
but no really good answer/definitive answer).
And secondly, does anyone know how to fix it. Pointing me at the correct
documentation/samples/tutorials would be most appreciated. If I can find a
solution with other peoples assistance I would be most appreciative, and
would post a follow up response, explaining in detail how to do it, helping
the community at large.
Thank you in advance,
J Hanshaw, Developer.
