asked on

html 2 xml 2 webservice 2 xml 2 html

OK i have achally posted a coupl eof post B4 on this one but i want to start a fresh and explain all.

I have been a webdeveloper for some time now and have mainly been doing ASP and SQL programming.

But for my next project i need to submit some varibles from a <FORM> and some how get them to populate a XML file and then have that file submit to a webservice. then when the webservice returns that output file in XML i need to read the XML file and then display some out put from the XML file on a webpage.

SO what would my options be?

I have used Dreamwavear fro year but i susspect that i will have to us somthing else to perform this job from a back end prospective.

Many thnaks

Thanks Shalomc

I have looked at the pages and they arehelpfull but i want guidence to the theory on how the conected would work and what i would use at what point IE what happens to the data that is submited from the form in my web page to to webservice and then transforming the result back into the webpage.
OK.
The browser send some bits of information to an ASP script, by normal means: a form or a url.
The ASP program creates an XML object.
The ASP program submits the XML object to the web service, and receives back an XML response.
The ASP program parses the XML response, and sends an HTML page back to the browser.

Is this what you were looking for?

Yeap that is the first step!

when you say asp applivcation you mean asp code built into a webpage.

OK i can do the first bit submitting the varibles, The easy bit! :) the next steps are the ones that i am unsure about.

I have never created a xml object before.do i need to install any special DLL's or software on my webserver?

You are being a really big help mate, thank you

Hey,

Look here for MSDN examples of exactly what you want to achieve, using MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP
I will not paste the samples here for copyright reasons.
