Getting Delphi dll, SOAP and Javascript talking...

Chada

Hello there,

My colleague has recently created a web service in Delphi (dll); the XML that is produced looks like this:

<operation name="SendApplicants">
<input message="tns:SendApplicants0Request"/>
<output message="tns:SendApplicants0Response"/>
</operation>

I've been trying to call this operation "SendApplicants" from his ISAPI .dll, but as of yet I've been unsuccessful.

I was pointed towards this js plugin for Soap Client manipulation: http://www.guru4.net/articoli/javascript-soap-client/en/

However when I use js to invoke the SOAP function call it simply returns the entire XML document with all the functions on it in the alert.

Here's my (slightly) modified code for calling the SOAP function (based on demo 11 of the plugin i linked above)

function requestApplicantList()
{
    var pl = new SOAPClientParameters();
    SOAPClient.invoke(url, 'SendApplicants', pl, true, GetSoapResponse_callBack);
}
function GetSoapResponse_callBack(r, soapResponse)
{
    if(soapResponse.xml)    // IE
        alert(soapResponse.xml);
    else    // MOZ
        alert((new XMLSerializer()).serializeToString(soapResponse));
}

Can anyone point me in the right direction of how to get these 2 technologies talking?

Thanks,

Dan

Hi..

I've trying to sort this problem for the past few days - I'm hoping it's something obvious......

Would I need to convert the SOAP .dll file to java using a converter like axis?

Any help GREATLY appreciated..

Thanks.
