hi,



Actually my aim is to trace the Soap Request and Response Payload between 

the Web Service and Client Application.



I developed my service in C#.  My Client Application is in VB 6.0. 



Here is the Code:



VB Client:

----------

Private Sub GetPayload_Click()

    Dim xmldom

    Set xmldom = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")

    Set pi = xmldom.createProcessingInstruction("xml", " version=""1.0""")

    xmldom.insertBefore pi, xmldom.childNodes.Item(0)

    Set objXMLroot = xmldom.createNode(1, "SOAP:Envelope", "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/")

    xmldom.appendChild (objXMLroot)

    objXMLroot.setAttribute "xmlns:soapspenc", "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"

    objXMLroot.setAttribute "xmlns:xsi", "http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance"

    objXMLroot.setAttribute "xmlns:xsd", "http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema"

    Set objxmlbody = xmldom.createElement("SOAP:Body")

    xmldom.documentElement.appendChild (objxmlbody)

    Set objxmlmethod1 = xmldom.createNode(1, "IsValidUser", "http://tempuri.org/")

    objxmlbody.appendChild (objxmlmethod1)

    Set objxmlparam1 = xmldom.createNode(1, "userid", "http://tempuri.org/")

    objxmlparam1.Text = Trim(tuserid.Text)

    objxmlmethod1.appendChild (objxmlparam1)

    Set objxmlparam2 = xmldom.createNode(1, "password", "http://tempuri.org/")

    objxmlparam2.Text = Trim(tpassword.Text)

    objxmlmethod1.appendChild (objxmlparam2)

    MsgBox xmldom.xml, vbOKOnly, "Soap Request Payload from Client"

    xmldom.save ("C:\test.xml")

    Set XMLHTTP = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

    XMLHTTP.Open "POST", "http://muma:8080/mysamples1/User/WebService1.asmx", False

    XMLHTTP.setRequestHeader "SOAPAction", "http://tempuri.org/IsValidUser"

    XMLHTTP.setRequestHeader "Content-Type", "text/xml"

    XMLHTTP.send (xmldom)

    MsgBox XMLHTTP.responseText, vbOKOnly, "Soap Response Payload from Server"

End Sub



WebService1.asmx

----------------



<%@ WebService Language="c#" Codebehind="WebService1.cs" Class="User.WebService1" %>



WebService1.cs

--------------

namespace User

{

    using System;

    using System.Collections;

    using System.Configuration;

    using System.ComponentModel;

    using System.Data;

    using System.Diagnostics;

    using System.Web;

    using System.Web.Services;



    public class WebService1 : System.Web.Services.WebService

    {

        public WebService1()

        {

            InitializeComponent();

        }



        private void InitializeComponent()

        {

        }

        public override void Dispose()

        {

        }

		[WebMethod]

		public string IsValidUser(string userid,string password) 

		{

				if((userid == "199") && (password == "uma"))

				{

					return "true";

				}

				else

				{

					return userid+password;

				}

		}

		

    }

}



Actually, in this sample I built the Soap Request Payload by hand using the Microsoft.XMLDOM

object and called the Web Service using Microsoft.XMLHTTP object. 



This application works fine and I am very well able to trace the Http-Soap 

Request and Response payload using the TcpTracer Tool which I downloaded 

from www.pocketsoap.com



Here actually my doubt is apart from building the Soap Request payload 

manually and calling the Service, Is there any other way that I can call 

the Web Service directly?



Please go through my code and give ur suggestions.  



Thank You.



Regards,
