Use the xmlport as parameter of the webservice. If you define it as VAR (called by reference), you can return data through it.

Similar to this: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/nav/archive/2009/11/06/using-dataports-with-web-services.aspx

Alternatively, you could expose a BigText as a VAR, take the incoming request, load that into a Xml Dom object, parse, perhaps do some processing logic and then kick off an xmlport to build xml, clear your bigtext variable and then return the resultant Xml as a string.

It'd look kinda like this:

//  Processing logic

XmlPort.SETTABLEVIEW(Rec);
blobTemp.Blob.CREATEOUTSTREAM(OutStream);
XmlPort.SETDESTINATION(OutStream);
XmlPort.EXPORT;
blobTemp.Blob.CREATEINSTREAM(InStream);
XmlDomDoc.load(InStream);
BigTextVar.ADDTEXT(XmlDomDoc.xml);

Hi eknraw,

I follow your eg. But when i call function, i got this error. I create one codeunit and i call from nav (for testing).

Any idea for that?

Just in case someone is wondering, I'm guessing you were trying to use the MS XML DOM automation, which needs to be instantiated before you use it.

CREATE(XmlDomDoc);

// Or...

IF ISCLEAR(XmlDomDoc) THEN
  CREATE(XmlDomDoc);

You right! I forget above case.

One more thing, i can not set data to BigText. Cos of length is over 1024.

And where is the problem? BigText is not limited with 1024...

if you want to load the data in bigtext you need to read out of the stream

bigtext.read(istream);

Hi deV.ch and kine,

Thanks for your reply.

Above part is solved ready. I replace with

bigtext.read(istream);

But i'm staying face with problem. ](*,)
I'm refer this link http://mibuso.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=29557&hilit=MemoryStream&start=15. When i run .net application i got this error "{"Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1."}". So i checked the return variable at .net. I saw data length is 3. How come? But when i export to text/xml file from nav, i can get all data.

I'm using standard xmlport (item).

Here is my nav code

Name	DataType	Subtype	Length
objOutStream	OutStream		
objInStream	InStream		
recTempBlob	Record	TempBlob	
Item	Record	Item	

Var	Name	DataType	Subtype	Length
Yes	BigTextVar	BigText		

Item.SETRANGE("No.",'1000');
Item.FINDSET;
recTempBlob.INIT;
recTempBlob.Blob.CREATEOUTSTREAM(objOutStream);
xmlPort.SETTABLEVIEW(Item);
xmlPort.SETDESTINATION(objOutStream);
xmlPort.EXPORT;
recTempBlob.CALCFIELDS(Blob);
recTempBlob.Blob.CREATEINSTREAM(objInStream);
BigTextVar.READ(objInStream);

.Net Code

localhost.Web_Service_Function myInvoicesService = new WindowsApplication1.localhost.Web_Service_Function();
            myInvoicesService.UseDefaultCredentials = true;

            string _BigText = string.Empty;
            myInvoicesService.FnXML(ref _BigText); //Return length is 3 (data is " þ<")

            byte[] byteArray = new byte[_BigText.Length];
            System.Text.ASCIIEncoding encoding = new System.Text.ASCIIEncoding();
            byteArray = encoding.GetBytes(_BigText);

            System.IO.MemoryStream memoryStream = new System.IO.MemoryStream(byteArray);

            DataSet ds = new DataSet();
            ds.ReadXml(memoryStream);

What wrong at my sample code? Kindly, guide to me.

Are you using UTF-16? I guess so, because of the data length of 3. I got this when i was using UTF-16 the file format.

Try using UTF-8 as the xmlport format.

Hi deV.h

Yes! I'm using UTF-16. Now it is ok .... :thumbsup:

UTF-16? -> UTF-8
