Thread: Basic WS in SM7.10

Has anyone got SM7.10 WS's working via something other than Connect-IT? I'm having issues getting the OOB examples working, as well as a basic PHP attempt. The error I get both times is a 307 Redirect Error.

My PHP error is below:
HTTP Error: Unsupported HTTP response status 307 Temporary Redirect (soapclient->response has contents of the response)

I'm using the nusoap library, which I downloaded and then a quick bit of PHP to test.

Code:

<?
   require_once('lib/nusoap.php');
   $client = new nusoap_client('http://<servername>:13080/SM/7/IncidentManagement.wsdl');
   $result = $client->call('RetrieveIncidentRequest', array('IncidentId' => 'IM000010394'));
   $err =$client->getError();
   print $err;
   print_r($result);
?>

Anyone able to get this simple scenario working on their SM7.10 environment?

Regards

I tried for weeks to get the nusoap library to work with SC 6.2 and was completely frustrated by PHP's implementation of WSDL support. I was never able to get the user auth to work.

Do post if you are able to get this to work.

Due in part to the customizations to our system, I've never gotten the OOB examples to work without heavy modification. I have however successfully built fresh Java client libraries using Axis and WSDL2Java.

One of the challenging aspects of utilizing SM7's web services is the complex nature of the request objects that must be built, and constructing a SOAP envelope while fully accounting for all of the fields expected by the service can be a bit of a challenge.

I've not used NuSOAP personally, but based on the example you pasted, and on some brief skimming over NuSOAP's documentation, I suspect that the envelope being generated is not adequate to make the call. The server generally expects a fully built request object (as defined in the WSDL) which will include a model, instance, instance header, keys, and possibly a few other structures. If the request isn't "perfect", things usually go south with very little feedback from the server.

I'd strongly recommend giving a tool like soapUI a try, as it will introspect the WSDLs and generate full request envelopes for testing. Even if you eventually implement your solution in PHP, the feedback from soapUI can be invaluable when determining how you must construct your requests, a process that appears to be somewhat manual with NuSOAP.

Well, a long time on and after many frustrating hours with SM7 WS, I've finally gotten this to work using PHP, including extracting the attachments and displaying them (which to be honest was my main goal, as I'm using SQL queries to display the data).

The code is a bit rough at the moment, but if anyone is interested, I'm more than happy to post a rough 'how-to'. I'm using the nusoap library and once some slight modifications are made, it's easy to get working.

I'm interested, would like to see the code. I guess, it'll give the users a jumpstart on WSDL.
