Hi all,
   I have a code which calls my webservice using XMLHTTP Post method. Including the code below. Now most of the times this call happens without any problem. But on the live environment sometimes this call fails. Haven't been able to find out why it fails at all. If anyone can guide me on how to find this out even that would be a great help.
   Here is the code :
Function vf_ProcessSoapRequest(objXML,ServiceName,FunctionN ame,ParamName)
    Dim OutXML
    Dim saveXMLobj
    Dim Result

    set saveXMLobj = createobject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.4.0")
    saveXMLobj.open "POST", Application("WS1") & ServiceName & ".asmx",false
    saveXMLobj.setRequestHeader "Content-Type","text/xml; charset=utf-8"
    saveXMLobj.setRequestHeader "SOAPAction","http://abc.com/WebServices/" & FunctionName

    OutXML = "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-8""?>"
    OutXML = OutXML & "<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"" xmlns:xsd=""http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"" xmlns:soap=""http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"">"
    OutXML = OutXML & "<soap:Body>"
    OutXML = OutXML & "<" & FunctionName & " xmlns=""http://abc.com/WebServices/"">"
    OutXML = OutXML & "<" & ParamName & ">"
    OutXML = OutXML & HTTPEncode(objXML.xml)
    OutXML = OutXML & "</" & ParamName & ">"
    OutXML = OutXML & "</" & FunctionName & ">"
    OutXML = OutXML & "</soap:Body>"
    OutXML = OutXML & "</soap:Envelope>"
    saveXMLobj.send OutXML
    Result = saveXMLobj.responseText
    set saveXMLobj = nothing
    vf_ProcessSoapRequest = Result
End Function

As you can see the parameter is itself an xml document.

Thanks and regards,

I hate to provide a less than useful answer, but I'm wondering about something. If you are using .net web services, how come you are coding the soap request manually? .net provides all the wizards and things to generate all the soap requests (and remote class definition where applicable) in a webservice "stub" class file. Are you unclear on how to do this or are you doing this manually for a reason?

Hi peter,
   The fact of the matter is that we are still using asp code(no .Net) to call this Web Service. It's kind of first step to move towards .Net. The above code calls the webservice from an asp page and that is why the Soap request is being formed manually.

Thanks and regards,
Gurjit

Ok, well there's a legitimate answer. How about this: change your .net service to support GET calls and you only need to construct a simple query string with the parameters/arguments to the web service method. The beauty of that is that you can use the ASP based XML object(s) with that simple GET URL to the web service.

Sorry Peter, GET will not work here. That's because one of the XML parameters is a full length XML document. Now there could be another way of passing XML document to the webservice like letting the webservice itself pick it up instead of passing it, but that would constitute a big change. So a POST is really necessary in this context. Also the problem is not that the code doesn't work entirely, only that it fails sometimes and for a clientele like ours even one in 20 requests failing is a dangerous thing.

Thanks and Regards,
Gurjit

Ok. That makes sense.
Then let's get back to the original problem:
What is the error you are experiencing?
Can you provide more details on the failure?

I can just put the error message here. I am not able to get the Error no. as of now.
I will try and get the error no/hex code.

"An exception occurred: 'saveXMLobj.send'"

Gurjit

I finally got something to go on. The hex code is given here and as I searched Google, I could see a lot of such errors but nothing related to send. They all correspond to the object created doing and .execute or .Send as in my case or many more things. I hope this problem can find a solution soon.

Standard Microsoft Information Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A01FB)
An exception occurred: 'saveXMLobj.send'

Regards,
Gurjit

Here something else to go ahead on... Again have searched google and all and it has not been helping. The error no is "507". The error description is "An Exception Occurred".
Thanks for helping out,
Gurjit

Hi Gurujit,

Last 2 days we are also facing the same error used to face by u earlier.
Are u able to resolve this error ? if Yes, please let us known the solution.
