Hi folks, Weird situation here... I am supposed to make a call to a SOAP service to indicate to another system that there is data that needs to be processed:
client = SoapClient(wsdl='http://some.internal.server:5555/ws/sriks.postgresql:cartonTest?WSDL') result = client.recordCartons(tallyNumber=tallyrec.TallyNumber) This times out. TallyNumber is defined thusly: Field <https://pedapps.gpo.gov/examples/global/vars/Field>('TallyNumber', 'string', length=6, unique=True, label='Tally sheet number') I can call the method with a literal value, and it does not time out: result = client.recordCartons(tallyNumber='400009') I can set a variable to a literal value, and it does not time out: tn = '400009' result = client.recordCartons(tallyNumber=tn) But this does time out: tn = tallyrec.TallyNumber So does this: tn = '%s' % (tallyrec.TallyNumber) # thought I'd create a new variable instead of using the reference This also times out: tn = str(tallyrec.TallyNumber) I even tried: tn = str(tallyrec.TallyNumber) result = client.recordCartons(tallyNumber="%s" % (tn)) I am logging the values used in the call, and TallyNumber is always reported as a valid string. The values in the log messages that indicate success look exactly the same as the values in the log messages that indicate a failure. How do I get TallyNumber into some kind of form that will not cause the call to timeout? Any clues would be very much appreciated... Thanks! Nick --
