Soap Problem

I have created a web service using the MS Soap toolkit.

This worked fine on my local machine when I was developing it but now I have moved it to another machine it won't work. I have unregistered the dll and created the wsdl files etc with the soap toolkit many times but no luck.

The error I am getting is:

Client error '80020009'

WSDLReader:Loading of the WSDL file failed HRESULT=0x80070057 - WSDLReader:XML Parser failed at linenumber 0, lineposition 0, reason is: System error: -2146697208. HRESULT=0x1

/WebServices/BankWizard/Default.asp, line 28

My code is as follows:

Response.Buffer = True
Response.ContentType = "text/html"

Dim objBW
Dim strSortCode
Dim strAccountNumber
Dim strSearchText1
Dim strSearchText2
Dim strSearchText3
Dim strMaxRecords

strSortCode = Request.Form("SortCode")
strAccountNumber = Request.Form("AccountNumber")
strSearchText1 = Request.Form("SearchText1")
strSearchText2 = Request.Form("SearchText2")
strSearchText3 = Request.Form("SearchText3")
strMaxRecords = Request.Form("MaxRecords")

Set objSoapClient = Server.CreateObject("MSSOAP.SoapClient")
Set objXML = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDom")

objSoapClient.ClientProperty("ServerHTTPRequest") = True

objSoapClient.mssoapinit "http://10.1.3.201/WebServices/BankWizard/WebService/BankWizardService.WSDL", "BankWizardService", "bw23SoapPort"

If Request.Form("Action") = "GetBranch" Then
Response.Write objSoapClient.Get_Branch (strSortCode, strAccountNumber)
End If
If Request.Form("Action") = "Search" Then
Response.Write objSoapClient.xUKSearch (strSearchText1, strSearchText2, strSearchText3, strMaxRecords)
End If

Response.End

Any ideas?

Cheers

if you want to launch a service via the Internet you can not use that URL:

http://10.1.3.201/WebServices/BankWizard/WebService/BankWizardService.WSDL

10.* is an internal URL in your LAN! You have to make a URL whitch is able to be reached via the internet

Yes I know this, this is the address I am using on a development server.

It fails to access the resource, can you access the resourse by loading it into your browser?

Ok this is working now. I believe it is some kind of timeout if the dll takes more than a split second to be instantiated. Any thoughts ont his?

None wahtsoever? This is a curious thing. You are using IIS and the dll gets loaded only once. I'd admit there could be some time involved but IIS should not time out/the SOAP HTTP object should not give up (delete that inapplicable) so quickly. Are you certain that this isn't some security thing and you have just changed folder access inadvertently (or serendipitenteously)?

I didn't change anything, I think maybe the server got rebooted though.

I've since noticed that changes to a DLL upon which a web service depends can often need the DLL reregistering and the WWW Serivce restarting.

I think the whole architecture is a bit shaky to be honest, roll on .net!
