Android Question Access Data from PHP WSDL using HttpJob

[phukol]

Good day Guys!

Just want to ask. Im using a wsdl generated from php. Using httpjob, i am trying to post a request to the file and receive an xml response. The problem is, the response is the xml code of the wsdl file. Can someone direct me to the right path? I am trying to call the login function

wsdl file: (sample)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<definitions xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:tns="urn:coreon.gcash" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" targetNamespace="urn:coreon.gcash">

  </operation>

    <output><soap:body use="encoded" namespace="uri:coreon.gcash" encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"/></output>
  </operation>
</binding>

code:

Sub consumeService(strOpt As  String,data1 As String,data2 As String,data3 As String,data4 As String,data5 As String,data6 As String,data7 As String,data8 As String)
    Dim PostUrl As String = ""
    Dim strXML As String=""
    Dim job1 As HttpJob
    
    Select Case strOpt
  
        Case "1" 'Login
            PostUrl = "http://xxxx.5.xxx.xxx/coreonCash_dev4/pages/Coreon_GCash.wsdl"
            strXML = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>"
           strXML = strXML & "<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/' "
            strXML = strXML & "xmlns:ns1='uri:coreon.gcash' xmlns:xsd='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema' "
           strXML = strXML & "xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance' xmlns:SOAP-ENC='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/' "
            strXML = strXML & "SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/'>"
            strXML = strXML & "<SOAP-ENV:Body>"
            strXML = strXML & "<ns1:loginRequest>"
            strXML = strXML & "<id xsi:type='xsd:String'>" & data1 & "</id>"
            strXML = strXML & "<password xsi:type='xsd:String'>" & data2 & "</password>"
            strXML = strXML & "</ns1:login>"
            strXML = strXML & "</SOAP-ENV:Body>"
           strXML = strXML & "</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>"
           strXML = strXML.Replace("'", Chr(34))
        
            job1.Initialize("login", Me)
        
        job1.PostString(PostUrl, strXML)
        job1.GetRequest.SetContentType("text/xml; charset=utf-8")
    
    End Select
End Sub

Sub JobDone (Job As HttpJob)

    If Job.Success Then
           Select Job.JobName
               Case "login"
                    Log(Job.GetString)
                    parser.Initialize()
                    parser.Parse(Job.GetInputStream , "Parser")
           End Select
    Else
     
        Msgbox( "Error in Accessing Web Portal," & CRLF & "Make sure you are connected to the Internet!", "Error")
        'Msgbox( Job.errormessage , "Error")
    End If
    Job.Release
End Sub

Sub Parser_EndElement (Uri As String, Name As String, Text As StringBuilder)
  
    If parser.Parents.IndexOf("login") > -1 Then 'login
        If Name = "session" Then
            strSession = Text.ToString
        Else If Name = "result" Then
            strResult = Text.ToString
        End If
    End If
    
End Sub

i have already done this using actual php code and .net asmx, i was able to get the result but im kind of confuse how i can execute it using wsdl

Note that this is a very good place to use smart string literals. https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/b4x-smart-string-literal.50135/#content

You probably need to set the SOAPAction header.

Thanks Erel I changed this code:

job1.PostString(PostUrl, strXML)
        job1.GetRequest.SetHeader("login", "http://xxxxxxx/coreonCash_dev4/pages/Coreon_GCash.wsdl")
        job1.GetRequest.SetContentType("text/xml; charset=utf-8")

but its still outputting the code of my wsdl and not the output i need.

How can i make use of smart string literal in this scenario.

 

[Erel]

You are probably not calling the correct link. You can use a tool such as WireShark or Fiddler to see the network requests sent from the PC.

About the string literal:

strXML = $"here
you can just put all the xml content. No need to 
escape anything
 and you can fill the fields with $xml{data1} and $xml{data2}"$

thank you Erel, but i was able to use the wsdl using actual php code and it'w working fine for asp.net and php, i am quite confused because im sending the actual XML request already but the output is always the xml code of the wsdl web service.

I also tried Fiddler but its also outputting my wsdl code

Hello everyone.
I figured it out. I dont know what seems to be the problem but Fiddler is also outputting the XML of my wsdl.
what i did was to use the actual php page that my wsdl uses for its function.
so instead of using
PostUrl = "http://xxxx.5.xxx.xxx/coreonCash_dev4/pages/Coreon_GCash.wsdl"

i used
PostUrl = "http://xxxx.5.xxx.xxx/coreonCash_dev4/pages/CoreonService.php"

which is used for the wsdl file. I also changed the SetHeader to the url of the code

job1.GetRequest.SetHeader("login", "http://xxxxx/rommel/coreonCash_dev4/pages/CoreonService.php")
