iOS Create web service soap request in iphone.

[forrestxu]

Hi ,

Can we create soap request in iphone. For example, do we have SDK to create the soap request described as below:

POST /InStock HTTP/1.1
Host: http://www.example.org
Content-Type: application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: nnn

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<soap:Envelope
xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-envelope"
soap:encodingStyle="http://www.w3.org/2001/12/soap-encoding">

<soap:Body xmlns:m="http://www.example.org/stock">
<m:GetStockPrice>
<m:StockName>IBM</m:StockName>
</m:GetStockPrice>
</soap:Body>

</soap:Envelope>

Regards,
Forrest

Read the documentation for NSMutableURLRequest and NSURLConnection. Between them you can create a POST mode request with your payload and retreive the response. As far as I am aware there is no specialist SOAP API

Thank you for your help.

I think NSURLConnection is used to create connection between web service and iphone.

NSMutableURLRequest is used to create HTTP request. I don't know how to create soap request which is HTTP+XML request. Could you please help me to find example code?

Thanks a lot.

I have no example code and I'm certainly not going to spend my time looking for any. I would simply say that you have a request thatlt is made up of a number of headers which you can set in the request and a text body that again you can set. Basically I don't see where the issue is. As a programmer you are expected to be able to read th documentation and apply it to the problem at hand. You cannot expect to be spoon fed a solution.

gSoap might be the best way you can go. It is written in C++ but there are ways you can get that to compile.

Robbieduncan and Keehun
Thank you very much.

Keehun,
I guess C++ can not be compiled in iphone. right?

Robbieduncan,
I will try NSMutableURLRequest and NSURLConnection.

Just curiously. some information I found regarding on web service does not related with NSMutableURLRequest and NSURLConnection.

For example, sample code SeismicXML in iphone dev cente

the link http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1435726&tstart=0 seems introduce a little of NSMutableURLRequest and NSURLConnection.


It should be easy if we can use NSMutableURLRequest and NSURLConnection. Let me try it now.

Thank you very much!

Who said C++ can not be compiled on iPhone?
Absolutely it can! u can even mix C++ code with ObjC!
