NAV 2009 Web Service

generic

Hello

I've been looking at webservice for 2009 and following this blog.

http://demiliani.com/blog/archive/2008/08/10/6493.aspx.

Webservices have a WSDL address. I don't see it in his blog.
When I put the URL for my webservice in Internet Explorer, I can see the xml and webservice detail. When I put the exact address in FireFox, I don't see anything? Why does this behave this way?

Also has anybody been able to use XMLHTTP (msxmldom) to connect to NAV webservice? If yes, an example CU would be helpful.

Also I use SOAPUI to look at webservice. For some reason NAV webservice do not work with it.

The WSDL for the system service is described in the document as:

http://TEST:7047/InstanceName/ws/CRONUS_International_Ltd./Services

where TEST is the machine name, 7047 is the webservice port and InstanceName is the Instance name.
The company name is wrong in this example (remove the trailing .), so the WSDL adress of the system service would typically be:

http://localhost:7047/DynamicsNAV/WS/CRONUS_International_Ltd/Services

(I heard that the marketing beta and some earlier CTP's had the port as 85)
Whether the trailing . is the reason for firefox doesn't work, I don't know - IE works both with and without the .

Reg. XMLHTTP - The Excel demo that is discussed in a different thread uses XMLHTTP to connect to any exposed page and I am going to post a description about how that is done in my blog, but basically it goes like this to get the WSDL:

XMLHTTP xhDisco = new XMLHTTP();
            xhDisco.open("GET", "http://localhost:7047/DynamicsNAV/WS/CRONUS_International_Ltd/Page/CustomerList", false, null, null);
            xhDisco.send(null);

            if (xhDisco.status == 200)
            {
                // Load WSDL into XmlDocument
                XmlDocument xdDisco = new XmlDocument();
                xdDisco.LoadXml(xhDisco.responseText);
                // Do stuff....
            }

Thanks for the portnumber. 7047 is still used in the marketing beta.
The what's new training is telling to use 85.

The portnumber is stored in CustomSettings.config

<add key="WebServicePort" value="7047"></add>


So you can change it if you like.


I have confirmed that in FF you get a black screen.

Also I use SOAPUI to look at webservice. For some reason NAV webservice do not work with it.

To use SOAPUI a workaround I've found is to open the published function in IE. then view source and save it as xml. Then Open SOAPUI and create a new project and point it to the xml file. This will show you how to create the xml file.
