Validating Request Against a WSDL

[relytjj]

I'm attempting to build a client side for a quoting web service. The third party who maintains the server side has provided a WSDL in paper form but hasn't hosted it on the web. I'm using php and nusoap to develop the client. I can't initilise my soapclient with the WSDL and am received error messages that don't give me a lot of information about what I'm doing wrong.

The WSDL is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<definitions name="PriceQuoteService" targetNamespace="

http://pqs.ws.jboss.org/"

xmlns="

http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"

My request to the webservice is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><SOAP-ENV:Envelope SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="

http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"

xmlns:SOAP-ENV="

xmlns:ns1303="

xsi:type="xsd:string">DS-1</bandwidth><city xsi:type="xsd:string">Fairfield</city><customerName xsi:type="xsd:string">Test Customer</customerName><litBldgFlag xsi:type="xsd:string">Y</litBldgFlag><state xsi:type="xsd:string">OH</state><street xsi:type="xsd:string">1252 Main St</street><term xsi:type="xsd:string">12</term><zip xsi:type="xsd:string">45014</zip><zip4 xsi:type="xsd:string">5556</zip4></LocalAccessDomain></ns1303:calculatePrices></SOAP-ENV:Body></SOAP-ENV:Envelope>


The message back from the server is:

soapenv:Client
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

I am assuming that the issue is with my request xml and not with the arguments to the API function.

Anyone have any ideas?

Here is the structure Stylus Studio derives from your WSDL.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:xsd="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"[/URL] 
				    xmlns:xsi="[URL unfurl="true"]http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"[/URL] 
					xmlns:soapenc="[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"[/URL] 
					xmlns:SOAP-ENV="[URL unfurl="true"]http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">[/URL]
	<SOAP-ENV:Body>
		<ns1:calculatePrices xmlns:ns1="[URL unfurl="true"]http://pqs.ws.jboss.org/">[/URL]
			<LocalAccessDomain_1>
				<bandwidth/>
				<city/>
				<customerName/>
				<litBldgFlag/>
				<state/>
				<street/>
				<term/>
				<zip/>
				<zip4/>
			</LocalAccessDomain_1>
		</ns1:calculatePrices>
	</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>

Maybe you can change the element name as indicated...

Thanks, I'll give that a try and see how it turns out.

I'm still recieving the same error.

soapenv:Client
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

I'm hoping to just make sure that it isn't an xml or soap fault. Then I can go back to the third party and request more documentation on the arguments for the API.

 

[k5tm]

I would expect the web service provider to have logs and other diagnostic tools to be able to tell you why this message is being returned.

Another question: is this reponse in the form of a SOAP fault? If not, what is the form of the HTTP response payload?
