Hi Kareem,
The .Net-based SOAP interfaces make it impossible to get the return
value from the RQL call because of the exception. Essentially
the .Net web services in the "services" folder are there to support
the nav manager functionality and so when an error is returned from an
RQL call these web services don't return the IODATA response in the
SoapException's "detail" element - a bit rude really. To compensate
for this you need to create a method that makes the call directly so
that you can get at the result even though there is an exception.
In .Net 2.0 web service proxies generated by Visual Studio are written
into partial classes. You can create a file in your code that adds
methods to this partial class. You could create one thusly (C# -
"using" statements omitted):
public string GetLoggedInGuid( string userName, string password )
{
string postData = String.Format( @"<?xml version=""1.0""
encoding=""utf-8""?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap=""http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/
envelope/"" xmlns:soapenc=""http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/
encoding/"" xmlns:tns=""http://tempuri.org/RDCMSXMLServer/
webservice/"" xmlns:types=""http://tempuri.org/RDCMSXMLServer/
webservice/encodedTypes"" xmlns:xsi=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-
instance"" xmlns:xsd=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"";>
<soap:Body soap:encodingStyle=""http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/
encoding/"">
<q1:Execute
xmlns:q1=""http://tempuri.org/RDCMSXMLServer/
message/"">
<sParamA xsi:type=""xsd:string"">{0}</sParamA>
<sErrorA
xsi:type=""xsd:string"">XMLServer.Execute: No data</
sErrorA>
<sResultInfoA xsi:type=""xsd:string"" />
</q1:Execute>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>", String.Format( @"<IODATA><ADMINISTRATION
action="login" name="{0}" password="{1}"/
></IODATA>", userName, password ) );
WebRequest req = WebRequest.Create( "http://reddot-cms/CMS/webservice/
RDCMSXMLServer.WSDL" );
req.Headers["SOAPAction"] = "\"http://tempuri.org/RDCMSXMLServer/
action/XmlServer.Execute\"";
req.Method = "POST";
req.ContentType = "text/xml; charset=utf-8";
req.ContentLength = postData.Length;
StreamWriter reqStreamWriter = new StreamWriter( req.GetRequestStream
() );
reqStreamWriter.Write( postData );
reqStreamWriter.Close();
WebResponse resp = req.GetResponse();
StreamReader respReader = new StreamReader( resp.GetResponseStream
() );
string result = respReader.ReadToEnd();
respReader.Close();
resp.Close();
XmlDocument xdResult = new XmlDocument();
xdResult.LoadXml( result );
XmlNode nResult = xdResult.SelectSingleNode( "//Result" );
XmlDocument xdResponse = new XmlDocument();
xdResponse.LoadXml( nResult.InnerText );
return xdResponse.SelectSingleNode( "//LOGIN" ).Attributes
["loginguid"].Value;
}
Note the WebRequest.Create method accesses the following URL:
http://reddot-cms/CMS/webservice/RDCMSXMLServer.WSDL
Obviously you will need to change reddot-cms to your actual server.
Also I think you have to select to install the SOAPToolkit option when
installing RedDot (I'm sure you can add it after).
At any rate, this is the "old school" web service which will return
the full IODATA response from RedDot in the nResult.InnerText, which
you can then use, as I have above, to retrieve the logonguid.
Non-trivial but not impossible.
HTH.

Richard Hauer
