Web Service

Hi,

I tried the example as given here :

http://www-10.lotus.com/ldd/nd8forum.nsf/5f27803bba85d8e285256bf10054620d/80da9db23a31c179852572a600712352?OpenDocument

But - I get an error that says

“Web service currencyconvertorsoap method conversionrate error Error connecting to www.services.net on port 80 the server is not responding. The server may be down or you may be experiencing network problems. Contact your system administrator if this problem persists”

Error number 4746

I am invoking the agent from my local 8.02 client from a local LN DB.

I tried the same with a server copy too.

I am able to ping, able to connect to internet etc. ECL on LN client is fine. Agent signer has all the necessary access.

I have tried to figure this out with all the usual suspects and am not able to go far.

If any one has any pointers, please respond. It will be a big help.

Thanks

Subject: Is it at all possible to consume an external web service

Two days now without any success of even coming remotely close to a working web service consumer.

Step 1:

Created Web Service Consumer in Lotus Notes 8.5.3. Imported WSDL-file from http://footballpool.dataaccess.eu/data/info.wso?WSDL.

Step 2:

Created agent as below.

%REM

Agent fotboll

Description: Comments for Agent

%END REM

Option Public

Option Declare

Use “fotboll”

Use “OpenLogFunctions”

Sub Initialize

On Error GoTo errhandle

Dim oFotboll As New Infosoaptype_n7

Print oFotboll.Dateoflastgame().Getvalueasstring()

cleanup:

Exit Sub

errhandle:

Print LogError()

GoTo cleanup

End Sub

Result:

I have tried running the agent on my local machine, on the server, invoking it from a web browser, all with the same result.

“Web Service InfoSoapType_n7 method DateOfLastGame error Error connecting to ‘footballpool.dataaccess.eu’ on port ‘80’, The server is not responding. The server may be down or you may be experiencing network problems. Contact your system administrator if this problem persists.”

I have tried several different providers on different sites but keep getting the same result. I am able to create a provider and consumer in the same database and successfully run it but not externally.

Plenty of searching the web hasn’t helped either.

Has anyone been able to implement a web service consumer in Notes?

I would greatly appreciate any help in the right direction.

Cheers!

Subject: Solution in my case

Turns out it was an issue with the proxy settings. Once I specified a proxy server in my Notes-client I was able to run the service.

The proxy settings in MSIE were setup using a proxy config-file and this did not work.
