Add Error Handling to SOAP Proxy

[tlhawkins]

Hey,

I've got a SOAP proxy created with wsdl.exe, I've never messed with any of the code in there. I've used it totally "black-box" style up until now.

What I want to do is check each call to see if one of 3 or 4 errors are returned, if so I need to simply repeat the call. I know, in a perfect world the service provider wouldn't return errors when everything was fine but it's not. So I need to repeat the call and it usually works the second time.

I assume that I would want to override the Invoke command, but not really sure how to go about that.

I could also add the checking at a higher level, but then I would have to do it in many places instead of just 1.

Could anyone help me get started with this?
Thanks

I believe in .NET you can only get exceptions from SOAP as SoapException. If you want to deal with these a custom way then you can just include more info in the exception that gets tossed, or write a handler in your code to deal with this.

To throw a SOAP exception with custom info, check here

Thanks David,

it's funny, I was just finishing this up today. I added the error handling in at a higher level but I appreciate you getting back to me on this. The SoapException would work but I would still have to handle the error at a higher level so I guess I did about the same thing.
