Here is a javascript example that we use in the web client. It uses the msxml object which you should be able to use from vbscript (the lan client) as well. Hopefully the object names and the members used will get you enough info so you can find your way. I would not say it is "tutorial" code but I am swamped and dont have time to polish it.


var oXMLDoc;
var oXMLHTTP = false;
var lRowCount;
var lRowIndex;

try {
oXMLDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument");
} catch (d) {

}

if (oXMLDoc == null) {
alert("Unable to create DOM document!");
return(false);
}

try {
oXMLHTTP = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP.3.0");
} catch (e) {
try {
oXMLHTTP = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.XMLHTTP");
} catch (E) {
oXMLHTTP = false;
}
}
if (!oXMLHTTP) { alert('Unable to make http request.'); return(false); }

// Set up the post
oXMLHTTP.onreadystatechange = function() {
// a readyState of 4 means we're ready to use the data returned by oXMLHTTP
if (oXMLHTTP.readyState == 4) {
// get the return envelope
var szResponse = oXMLHTTP.responseText;

// load the return into an XML data island
oXMLDoc.loadXML(szResponse);

if (oXMLDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) {
var xmlErr = oXMLDoc.parseError;
alert("You have error " + xmlErr.reason);
} else {
// Process Data
lRowCount = oXMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("LookupResults").length;
var sPostal;
var sCity;
var sState;
var sCountry;
if (lRowCount == 0) {
// Do Nothing - should we notify the user?
} else if (lRowCount == 1) {
sPostal = oXMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("LookupResults")(0).childNodes(0).text;
sOriginalPostal = sPostal;
sCity = oXMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("LookupResults")(0).childNodes(1).text;
sState = oXMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("LookupResults")(0).childNodes(2).text;
sCountry = oXMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("LookupResults")(0).childNodes(3).text;
setPostalCityState(sPostal, sCity, sState, sCountry, postalElement, cityElement, stateElement, countryElement);
} else {

for (lRowIndex = 0; lRowIndex < lRowCount; lRowIndex++) {
sPostal = oXMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("LookupResults")(lRowIndex).childNodes(0).text;
sCity = oXMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("LookupResults")(lRowIndex).childNodes(1).text;
sState = oXMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("LookupResults")(lRowIndex).childNodes(2).text;
sCountry = oXMLDoc.getElementsByTagName("LookupResults")(lRowIndex).childNodes(3).text;
}
}
}
}
}

// send the POST to the Web service
oXMLHTTP.open("POST", "https://webserver.com:925/AddressFunctions/AddressFunctions.asmx/GetPostalCityState", false);
oXMLHTTP.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
oXMLHTTP.send("PostalCode=" + postalCode);
}

I like the simple MSSOAPClient object (when in ASP Script)

set c = CreateObject("MSSOAP.SOAPClient")
c.mssoapinit("http://loca lhost/MYSoapApp/MYSoapApp.Calc.soap?WSDL")
for i = 1 to 10
WScript.Echo i & " " & c.Add(i,i) & " " & Time
next

(sample taken from web)

Jason,

I used your suggestion above to get data from a web service. Now, to make a method call, I need to send a variable of complex type,
like an object with a string and 2 ints to the webservice. How would you declare the variable in saleslogix ?


Thanks

Gus

There's not exactly support per se for passing complex types to a web service in VBScript. However, there's some ways to sort of mimick a complex type. Basically, when you pass a complex type to a web service, it is serialized to XML in a SOAP envelope. You can construct the XML/envelope yourself and pass that along to the web service.

Click here for a sample in a MS newsgroup

Make sense?
