Define Webservice. SOAP Problem

[Former Member]

Hello,

I tried to create a webservice in directory and test it with XMLSpy. The szenario should just take the information out of the SOAP and write it to an file.

This blog helped me a little:

/people/siva.maranani/blog/2005/09/03/invoke-webservices-using-sapxi

But when I try to call this webservice in XMLSpy he gives back an HTTP Error. I also have a Perl-Skript for testing and he said : "Header missing in SOAP-Message Header".

So what to do? The mentioned blog said, that I should use this for defining a webservice:

http://host:port/XISOAPAdapter/MessageServlet?channel=:<service>:<channel>;

But when I use the button "Propose URL" he said:

http://<server>:8000/sap/xi/engine?type=entry

So what's the channel?

Does anyone has a complete walkthrough for establishing a webservice in XI and call it from outside (preffered Java)???

Thanks

Maybe this guide will help you:

The pdf was very helpful, because of this I realized, I was using the wrong URL.

But now there is another problem. I can create a SOAP out of the WSDL and send it to the XI by XMLSpy. After this, a mistake occurs although he did what he should.

The response got following mistake:

...

<detail>

<s:SystemError xmlns:s="http://sap.com/xi/WebService/xi2.0">

<context>XIAdapter</context>

<code>DeliveryException</code>

<text><![CDATA[

...

And in sxmb_moni:

<SAP:ApplicationFaultMessage namespace="" />

<SAP:Stack>Das Interface-Mapping http://www.cenit.de/EC/webservice IFM_Webservice_to_File ist nicht im Laufzeit-Cache vorhanden.</SAP:Stack>

<SAP:Retry>N</SAP:Retry>

Means, he couldn't find an interface mapping, but it exist.

Another question:

I defined the outbound soap channel as an asynchronous adapter. Because I don't use any RFC it's ok to use asynchronous mode, isn't it?

thx

Thanks Stefan for an excellent link.

Your object are not activated or the cache refresh has not finished.

Maybe you activate them again.

It is unbelievable. Everything was activ, so I set the status of outbound channel inactiv and activ again. After this I cleared the cache (in design and directory) and it works!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you very much for your help. I will give the points immediately

greetings
