Can I return a result from page web service ?

bob_up

I need to allow a 3rd party application to insert customers, jobs and other details. I am looking at using page web services.

If the insertion fails (e.g. the customer number already exists) I need to let the calling application know. It would be nice to return the reason for the failure too.

Is this possible using pages or should I be using a different approach (i.e. codeunit/XMLports) ?

Pages will return the exception if insertion fails.

How does the external application read the exception ? I cant see this in the help. Is there some documentation I am not aware of ?

well in C# you can use Try and Catch statement and exception will contain the error.

If you are using web service toolkit, the response xml file will contain the error.
