Hello,

I'm trying to create a ASP.net client to consume a NuSoap service that I've created but for some reason I can't get it to work.

I used this tutorial for creating both the NuSoap service and the ASP.net client and have followed all the instructions exactly. In other words I get the expected page on the service side and when I add a new web reference to my .net client I get the necessary proxy classes to access and run the service.

My ASP.net/C# code looks like this:

try
{
  // the nusoap service
  TestService service = new TestService

  // try to use one of the service's methods. A WebException is thrown here when the client runs
  string msg = service.TestPrint("Welcome");

  // display message on the page
  testLabel.Text = msg;
}

catch(WebException ex)
{
  // the error message displayed is a 301 (moved permanently) page pointing to 
  // http://mnavasca.ca/TestService/Server.php
  testLabel.Text = ex.Message;
}

I have tested the service with a NuSoap client and a Java AXIS client and the service works with both (as expected).
The wsdl file is located at http://mnavasca.ca/TestService/Server.php?wsdl which validates with various online wsdl-validating tools

Any help would be appreciated

post your service and type registration php code.

 what errors are you getting in .net?

Thanks for the reply

I'm not getting any errors in my error log file. When I print a stack trace the exception is thrown at this line:

System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol.Invoke(String methodName, Object[] parameters) - methodName not found

 
The NuSoap (PHP) service code:

looks like you've referenced the services as http://www.mnavasca.ca but you're host requires http://mnavasca.ca so when you post to http://www.mnavasca.ca/TestService/Server.php your web server is telling you that the location of that host is http://mnavasca.ca/TestService/Server.php

try changing your namespace without the www.

i got things working... it was a NuSoap issue rather than a .net one 

thanks for the help anyways... 

I have error while consuming NuSoap web service from csharp.

This is my sample web service:

http://rhinosubmitws.rhinodirectory.com/server3.php

http://rhinosubmitws.rhinodirectory.com/server3.php?wsdl

This is my php server code:

<?
// NuSoap API
    require_once('lib/nusoap.php');
    		
   	
   	// create the server instance
   	$webServer = new soap_server();
   	
   	$namespace = 'http://rhinosubmitws.rhinodirectory.com/server3.php?wsdl';
   	$webServer->configureWSDL('ws');
   	$webServer->wsdl->schemaTargetNamespace = $namespace;
   	
      	
   	$methodName = 'TestPrint';
   	$input = array('message' => 'xsd:string');
   	$output = array('return' => 'xsd:string');
   	$soapAction = false;
   	$style = 'rpc';
   	$use = 'encoded';
   	$description =  'A test print method';
   	$webServer->register($methodName, $input, $output, $namespace, $soapAction, $style, $use, $description);


  	
  	$HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA = isset($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA) ? $HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA : ''; 
  	$webServer->service($HTTP_RAW_POST_DATA);

  	
  	function TestPrint($message)
 	{
  		return "This is a message: " . $message;
  	}

 	
?>

However when I try to call from .NET client, I have this error:

"Client found response content type of 'text/html', but expected 'text/xml'."

I can run the code without error in my localhost (Windows Vista with apache and php5)

But when I upload the code to my server, I am always having this error message.

Any idea?

Thanks

If the server is sending you HTML, then I recommend that you read it. Use a tool like Fiddler to see what is being sent to you.
