Amazon CXML post and retrival in ASP

I have been working on this all day and have reached a dead end. I am trying to send an order to Amazon via a CXML OrderRequest Post and then retreive the CXML Response using ASP. Does anyone have a sample of a ASP CXML post and read with Amazon? I have have not even been able to Post alone read the return Response. The closet I have gotton is "Bad Request:Must specify cXML dtd version (1.2.010 - 1.2.019) in DOCTYPE of XML Header".

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE cXML SYSTEM "http://xml.cXML.org/schemas/cXML/1.2.014/cXML.dtd">
<cXML xml:lang="en-US" timestamp="2008-10-09T18:25:49-07:00" payloadID="9992686398467498529@bizrewards.biz">

I have ASP.NET code to receive cXML documents and return a cXML response and have .NET code to send cXML Order Requests and receive cXML response messages. Are you stuck in ASP or can you use .NET?

I guess I can write it in .net. Are you working with the Amazon interface.? Their doc in very vague.

Sorry for odd first response. I was up to 3:00AM fighting this code. I would LOVE to have your help!

JoshBlair

apheggie,

Here is some sample code that I have built in ASP.NET 1.1 that receives cXML documents from a third party. The first portion of the code is the code behind code that backs the ASP.NET webform that the thirdparty points to when the post a new cXML document to us.

There is another portion of code that is a helper method that I use to build a cXML response that I send back to them (success or failure).

Let me know if this helps.

apheggie, I have included some code that I use in a .NET 1.1 Windows Forms app to post a cXML Order Requests to a partner and receive the cXML response back. There is some code/logic you don't need but I left in there. Not the sexiest code but it has been working well for us. Hope this helps,

Please provide the link to Amazon's documentation on posting a cXML document to their system. I am curious to learn more about their platform.

Cheers,

Is there a way I can test to see if it is posting to the defined page? I have added the code but I am getting nothing back.

JoshBlair

Notice the line below:

response = SendRequest(url, request);

The response should contain the stream that Amazon returns (which should be a cXML response). Are you able to set a breakpoint in your IDE and step through the lines of code in question?

apheggie

ASKER

No I can not. It is on a hosted server.

I have attached my code (be it as quick & dirty as possible)

Do you see anything obviously wrong?

apheggie,

I created a test ASP.NET project that uses your code and had it post to my http://localhost/ReceiveXML/cXML/default.aspx URL that I gave you originally. Your POST code works but the results aren't rendered in the Label3.Text properly. Try running your code again against Amazon. Then when your code finishes executing, view the HTML source of your test page (with the blank labels). You should see Amazon's cXML XML response. Let me know how you get on.

You could also add logic to parse the cXML response and determine if it is valid/success.

Cheers,
Josh

What is your problem? Are you getting errors?

JoshBlair

What is your problem? Are you getting errors?

skimox

I am getting an error: 'Statement cannot appear within a method body.'

Its referring to the sub routine: 'SendRequest'.

JoshBlair

skimox,

I put together a sample for you in ASP.NET 1.1 using VB.NET with a code behind model.

I have attached it for your review. You will need to change the URL that is being posted to to your own post url to test (https://stagingportal.ketera.com/procurement/uReceiveOrder705309Message.do). I test my code against a local ASP.NET app that I built for the purpose of testing my cXML applications.

You will want to look at post2.aspx & post2.aspx.vb

Hope this helps,

I will admit that I am a newbie at both .net and cXML. So I apologize if I'm missing the obvious. I really appreciate your help.

I have posted the two pages: post2.aspx and post2.aspx.vb with the code as you tested. I also replace the local test server with my ecommerce webhost.

I am getting this error when loading post2.aspx: 'Could not load type 'cXMLPost.Post2'.
