Web Services - PLEASE HELP.... EXPERT REQUIRED!!!!!!!

[Guest]

Hi All....

I would GREATLY appreciate help on how to connect to a 3rd parties web service please!!!! I have never before attempted this. I have been given this information which contains example code for other languages:

// C#
ICEPortal.ICEWebService h = new ICEPortal.ICEWebService();
ICEPortal.ICEAuthHeader myHeader = new ICEPortal.ICEAuthHeader();
myHeader.Username = "distrib@distrib.com";
myHeader.Password = "password";
h.ICEAuthHeaderValue = myHeader;
ICEPortal.Brochure brochure = null;
string ErrorMsg = "";
int result = h.GetBrochure("MyMappedID", out ErrorMsg, out brochure);

// VB
Dim h As New ICEPortal.ICEWebService
Dim myHeader As New ICEPortal.ICEAuthHeader
myHeader.Username = "distrib@distrib.com"
myHeader.Password = "password"
h.ICEAuthHeaderValue = myHeader
Dim brochure As ICEPortal.Brochure
Dim result as Integer
Dim ErrorMsg as String
result = h.GetBrochure("MyMappedID", ErrorMsg, brochure)

// JScript
var h:ICEPortal.ICEWebService = new ICEPortal.ICEWebService();
var myHeader:ICEPortal.ICEAuthHeader = new ICEPortal.ICEAuthHeader();
myHeader.Username = "distrib@distrib.com";
myHeader.Password = "password";
h.ICEAuthHeaderValue = myHeader;
var brochure:ICEPortal.Brochure;
var ErrorMsg;
var result = h.GetBrochure("MyMappedID", ErrorMsg, brochure);

AND ALSO:

"The following is a sample SOAP 1.2 request and response. The placeholders shown need to be replaced with actual values."

</IDs>
</GetAllBrochureIDsResponse>
</soap12:Body>
</soap12:Envelope>


As a start I would like to call a method "GetAllBrochureIDs", and thought it might have been something like this:

<cfinvoke webservice=" http://services.iceportal.com/service?WSDL" method="GetAllBrochureIDs" returnvariable="idList">
<cfinvokeargument name="username" value="myUsername">
<cfinvokeargument name="password" value="myPassword">
</cfinvoke>
<cfoutput>#idList#</cfoutput>

But clearly I am lost! Can anyone give me hand here please?

Cheers,

Aaron

Try to print your cfinvokeargument parameters

<cfinvoke webservice=" http://services.iceportal.com/service?WSDL" method="GetAllBrochureIDs" returnvariable="idList">
<cfinvokeargument name="username" value="
#myUsername#">
<cfinvokeargument name="password" value="#myPassword#">
</cfinvoke>
<cfoutput>#idList#</cfoutput>

Hey Akbarsait....thanks for reading my post. How will printing the username/password to screen help please? I did try it but as the username is an email address it comes up "Invalid token '@' found on line 12 at column 48."

I am still very lost here.

what's the correct url to the WSDL (what you show n your cfinvoke snippet isn't
correct)? do they have any java examples?

[Guest]

Hi Paul...thanks for your reply. I have gone back and asked them what the correct url to the WSDL is. I assumed that all the info was in the attached sample code that they supplied. Will post when I hear back from them.

Thanks again!

i get 404s when i try to access http://services.iceportal.com/service?WSDL what
errors were you getting? do you need something "client" side (that is on the cf
server)?

[Guest]

Hey Paul.... Here is their response:

The generic web service of ICE is http://services.iceportal.com/service.asmx?wsdl, however for different purpose we have different methods defined which are provided with different directories in this URL.

If you click on the link http://services.iceportal.com/Service.asmx you can see the methods. I could give you the username/login off forum if need be.

this should get you started:

<cfscript>
ws=createObject("webservice"," http://services.iceportal.com/service.asmx?wsdl");
// are we connected?
writeoutput("<b>ws port</b>: #ws.getPortname().toString()#");
</cfscript>
<br><br>
<cfdump var="#ws#">

crack open the "parent class" at the bottom of the dump & you should see methods
to set user name & password, etc. --or-- i *think* once you get the service
created ok you can go into cfadmin for webservices & add the user name &
password & then just call the ws (also rename it to something less wordy):

<cfscript>
// say we renamed the ws 'icePortal'
ws=createObject("webservice","icePortal");
</cfscript>

whether this is a good idea or not depends on your environment.

post back if you get stuck.
