WebService and dynamic subform

[Former Community Member]

Hi all!



I have this situation: i need to execute a call to a webservice, passing to

it the value that is contained in a dynamic generated field called

string[*]. I don't know how many strings I will pass to the webservice:

named it "i".

So I have to do multiple calls to the same webservice, more precisely i

calls to the webservice.

Value has to be inserted in dynamic subforms, that are generated i times,

after we received the value of "i".

But even if the value of the string[*] are correct, I received only one

answer that contains the value of the fields of the last string I passed.

In all the binded fields for each subform I can see the same values.



How can I do in order to obtain the correct value for each string?



Thanks,

Alessio

For something complex like this I think you'd be better off using Acrobat's SOAP object that a designer data connection to do the web service calls. That way your script would have the logic to make the calls with the string value from the appropriate subform instance and setting the return value to the field in the appropriate subform instance.



You can read more about using the SOAP object in the Acrobat JavaScript Reference.

Wen we call a method that doesn't require <br />parameters, the webservice answers well. On the contrary, when I call a <br />method that require a parameter, in the debug mode i can see that the value <br />passed is always "null". This is the script:<br /><br />SOAP.wireDump = false;<br />var cListURL = "http://192.168.1.16/forecast/Service1.asmx?WSDL";<br /><br /> var service = SOAP.connect(cListURL);<br /> var cTextString = "OK";<br /> var result = service.function1(cTextString);<br /> string.rawValue = result<br /><br />The function is done that it come back to me "1", but we have always "Empty" <br />because the data the webservice received is always "null".<br /><br />Please help me :)<br />Alessio

Alessio,



I'm not sure how to help you, I don't see anything wrong with the script. Your saying that the soap request sent to your webservice doesn't have a valid value for the parameter? Is it possible that your WSDL defines the method not to take parameters?

Odd. What version of Acrobat are you using? I'll give it a try here as soon as I get a chance.

I succedeed in making it works <br />only if I pass a string.<br /><br />Ciao,<br />Alessio

Hi Alessio,



If you need to pass in values for multiple fields as parameters to you webservice call, you could pass the rawValue of each field you are interested in as a paremeter.



Another idea would be to use xfa.data.saveXML(). This will return the data DOM as a string. You could then pass this 1 parameter to the webservice call and then on the server side parse the DOM for the field values you are interested in.
