Hi ara3n,
Thanks for your reply.
Anyway, i don't understand what you tried to say.
Can you explain in more detail?

Thank you very much.

Create a new Codeunit. Create a new function in called.
ReceiveXML(MyBigText) return time is a Text 1024.


In this function.

MyBigText.READ(Instream)
myxmlport.SETSOURCE(Instream)
if not myxmlport.import then
Exit('The xmlport was invalid') // I have to check if getlasterror would work otherwise you have to use if codeunit.run and pass the bigtext to the CU.
else
exit('success');



You publish the New codeunit and that's it.

Thanks ara3n,
I got your idea already. The mean i need to use XMLPort to handle the incoming data.

I haven't done this myself outside of playing around with it a bit but you should be able to expose the XMLPort as a parameter in a codeunit and get a more complete WSDL.

Is that what you're looking for?

I've always just used methods similar to this: http://blogs.technet.com/b/gediminb/archive/2008/02/12/how-to-read-from-nav-xml-document-using-microsoft-xmldom-automation.aspx
