Hi,

I need to build a webservice that needs to read an xml file send bij another application build in Lansa.

The webservice needs to use soap. How can i get the xml file, should i read it from a file with readxmlfile or is this done in another way.

Regards Detlef

Hello Detlef,

I suspect you'll first need to determine how you'll expose the XML file.
From a WebService point of view there are many ways to expose the content of
a file:

1. As a string
2. As a byte[]
3. As an attachment
4. As raw XML embedded within the SOAP envelope (this one is an option since
you file is in XML format)

If you have no constraints regarding the above, the byte[] is the one I
would recommend.

See the following link for a sample implementation:

Cheers,

Bruneau.

Hi Bruneau,

I tried implementing the code of the angisoft site. It compiles ok, but when i run it on the server i get the following message;

'The specified CGI application misbehaved by not returning a complete set of HTTP headers.'

I-am using delphi 7 and it runs on a windows 2003 as a standalone cgi executable

Any suggestions?

Tnx Detlef
