Web Services and Formativ

[ihertanto]

Can Formativ consume a Web Service? If so, could you please provide me with some information about how this would be implemented? Any URLs or references would also be appreciated.

We have demonstrated many GroupWise-based solutions and customization techniques at BrainShare. You can download the example source from the following url:

To consume Web Service in Formativ, I will recommend you to look at the example applet “Dilbert Web Service.vbf” and “Web Service Signature.vbf”.

Hope this helps.

I am unable to get the “Dilbert” or “Web Service Signature” Web Service examples to work on my machine using SoapClient method.

set SoapClient = CreateObject("MSSOAP.SoapClient"). 

I receive this error:

HRESULT=0x1 at line 31, column 6

Can anyone tell me how I would check that I have the appropriate files to support this technique?

In the meantime, I have been able to get this Web Service to work using the POST method:

    Set httpReq = CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")
    httpReq.Open "POST", webServiceUrl, False
    httpReq.Send
    Set myXmlDoc = CreateObject("MSXML.DOMDocument")
    myXmlDoc.load(httpReq.responseBody)

Thank you.
