BC Ecommerce SOAP Error: Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction

Report · Jan 26, 2015

I am trying to add a product to an ecommerce site with this soap action: Product_UpdateInsert

I have followed this very brief instruction: https://jollyrogers.worldsecuresystems.com/catalystwebservice/catalystecommercewebservice.asmx?op=Pr...

I have a html page in a secure area with a jQuery ajax soap script.

I get the this error when I run the script:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"><soap:Body><soap:Fault><faultcode>soap:Client</faultcode><faultstring>Server did not recognize the value of HTTP Header SOAPAction: https://jollyrogers.worldsecuresystems.com/CatalystDeveloperService/CatalystEcommerceWebservice/Prod....</faultstring><detail /></soap:Fault></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>

I have also tried to add a header with the Soap action with the beforeSend in the ajax call.

This must have been solved before I suppose?

Here is my script:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<title>Test SOAP Request</title>

This line is a target namespace so it should not be changed: <Product_Retrieve xmlns="http://tempuri.org/CatalystDeveloperService/CatalystEcommerceWebservice"> It is very easy to think that it's a placeholder and that it should be replaced with your own url, which it should not and which will fail.

This works now:

<!DOCTYPE html>

<head>

<title>Test 7 SOAP Request</title>

</head>

<body>

var SoapMessage = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> \

<soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap12="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope"> \

<soap12:Body> \

<Product_Retrieve xmlns="http://tempuri.org/CatalystDeveloperService/CatalystEcommerceWebservice"> \

<username>Your Email</username> \

<password>Your password</password> \

<siteId>1894001</siteId> \

</Product_Retrieve> \

</soap12:Body> \

</soap12:Envelope>';

var url = "https://jollyrogers.worldsecuresystems.com/catalystwebservice/catalystecommercewebservice.asmx";

$.support.cors = true;

$.ajax({

type: "POST",

success: function (msg) {

alert("suc: " + msg);

},

error: function (msg) {

alert("Failed: " + msg);

});

You plan to expose your admin username and password to everyone? Is this a public script?

Report · Jan 26, 2015

Hi,

no it is in a secure area. I am checking if it is possible to only have a user with Users priviledge.

Report · Jan 26, 2015

I created a new user role that can only add products. But I got a soap error: ERROR: You do not have enough privileges to add products

Report · Jan 26, 2015

What happens with the admin username and password?

Report · Jan 27, 2015

Happens? The user information is difficult to do anything with it is hard coded in the script unfortunately. I try to add a new user role with only add priviliedges. But it seems buggy.
