Question

Timeout when I make a SOAP call

Asked by: jcook32

I have a .net application that makes a SOAP call the causes the website to timeout sometimes. I am not the familiar with SOAP but is there a way to debug the call once it is made? or is there a way that if the application hangs for 20 seconds I can call and event and clear out any soap calls that may be causing the problem.

Any other suggetions would be great.

First of all I would download webservice studio (freeware) and create your soap call manually... that way you can see if the ws response is really taking over 20 seconds. Remember webservices are intended to transfer only serveral records at a time so a huge bunch of them would cause your problem or a similar one! There are several ways to debug your soap call... but you would have to be hosting the webservice, from the text above I don't think this is the case. But in case you are hosting is; look into the remote debugging features of vs 2005.

"Unable to connect to the remote server." can mean two things:
1. The webservice is not hosted at this location
2. You don't have access to this location.

Have you entered the correct location for the webservice (point to the .asmx)? After pushing "get" you should see all of the webmethods...
If the webservice is online make shure your internet connection is live.. (if it is online can you give me the url; that way I can try it over here?)

good luck
