Web Service Issue , pls help

Hi We have a java webservice which will return the image as a soap attachment and another web service which will return the image as a binary data How can we use the image return by the web service in coldfusion?

how to get the attachment from soap response and use it in coldfusion Could you please provide with a code snippet? ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Vishnu, Do you already have any current code that you are using?  Your request is not completely clear, but based on what I am 'assuming', you want to know how you can invoke the java web service and retrieve the attachment from the soap response. I *think* you could do this with CFHTTP.  CFHTTP can retrieve binary data by specifying getAsBinary="yes" in the CFHTTP call.  So your call might look something like this: <cfhttp url="{url to web service here}" getAsBinary="yes" path="{path to folder where you want to store binary file here}" filename="{filename you want for image}" ...any other attributes you need >    ....your cfhttpparam tags, if needed .... </cfhttp> After you do that, you should then be able to retrieve the file a number of ways: 1.  if you just want to display the file, and it is in your web root: <img src="{path and filename of the image you retrieved}"> 2.  If you want to display the file, and it is not in your web root: <cfcontent ...> (can't remember the parameters right now, but you can check the docs) 3.  If you want to move the file somewhere, then use: <cffile action="move" source="{path and filename of image you retrieved}" destination="{new destination}"> If this is not what you are looking for, please describe in more detail exactly what you are trying to do with the data returned from the web service and post any code you may already be using. Sincerely, Dave Phillips how to get the attachment from soap response and use it in coldfusion Could you please provide with a code snippet?

You may be able to "cfcontent" it directly - or you may need to store it as a file of the correct type and extension. -mark Mark A.

Hi Dave I dont have a web service code , i tried to access the public web serive from xmethod  which return the image , but somehow its not working This is the web service http://www.xmethods.net/ve2/ViewListing.po?key=uuid:861CB6D3-1E2A-BA27-BDDE-E9FEF283E518 ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

It would be a lot easier to respond if you provided some details. What is not working? Post some code. Do you get an error? If so, what does the error say? > Hi Dave > > I dont have a web service code , i tried to access the public web serive from xmethod  which return the image , but somehow its not working > > This is the web service > http://www.xmethods.net/ve2/ViewListing.po?key=uuid:861CB6D3-1E2A-BA27-BDDE-E9FEF283E518 > -- mxAjax / CFAjax docs and other useful articles: http://www.bifrost.com.au/blog/

Look at the WSDL.  That method is expecting 4 parameters.  You are only supplying two.   <message name="doBarCodes">     <part name="username"        type="xsd:string"/>     <part name="password"        type="xsd:string"/>     <part name="num"          type="xsd:string"/>     <part name="imgtype"         type="xsd:string"/>   </message> Error > Web service operation doBarCodes with parameters > {imgtype={PNG},num={0123}} cannot be found.

Yeah I've been messing with this and I have it working but only after writing my own WSDL to get around this error: org.xml.sax.SAXException: Found character data inside an array element while deserializing Anyway, use a username of "any" and password of "any" as per their PHP example. The change I made to the wsdl was to replace xsd:base64Binary with xsd:anyType and it works. The way to output the result to the user then becomes: <cfinvoke webservice="http://your own version of the.wsdl" method="doBarCodes" returnvariable="doBarCodesRet" >   <cfinvokeargument name="username" value="any"/>   <cfinvokeargument name="password" value="any"/>   <cfinvokeargument name="num" value="123456"/>   <cfinvokeargument name="imgtype" value="jpg"/> </cfinvoke> <cfcontent type="image/jpeg"><cfoutput>#toString(ToBinary(doBarCodesRet))#</cfoutput> ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

Yeah, I received the same error trying dummy info but I hoped it was just an error related to having the wrong login info. That could be problematic if their WSDL isn't correct. ~Brad ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----

I believe this is the important piece of information: "The image is base64 encoded so that it can easily travel via Soap.  The user is required to decode it back to binary for display." You will probably need to ToBinary() the result to to turn the base64 back to a binary object.  I would create an example call, but the webservice appears to require a username and password. I'm guess that the call to the web service will probably look something like this: <cfset ws_response = createobject("webservice","http://www.flash-db.com/services/ws/barCodes.wsdl").doBarCodes("username","password","123","JPG")>; ~Brad ----- Excess quoted text cut - see Original Post for more -----
