Call WSDL soap method in iPhone - iphone

Question

i am working on an iPhone project in which i have a wsdl which is having description of methods and these methods contains an xml. I need to call these methods which are there in wsdl to get the xml using soap and parse it. I have read so many links and tutorials but was not able to to call the method in the wsdl. Please if u can provide me some links or suggestions.

Answer 1

you can use http://sudzc.com/ ,it gives you ready WSDL
This is a .NET web site solution that uses XSLT to transform SOAP-based web service definition WSDL files into complete code packages. The code that is generated is easy to read and update.
While SudzC supports multiple platforms, it's focus is on code generation for Objective-C libraries for iPhone development.
reference http://code.google.com/p/sudzc/

Answer 2

Please try this code. It worked for me.
[Note: GetDictionary is my method name which is displayed in Web service.and in url please write the url displayed in web service at below portion. It should be matched with url you have written in coding otherwise you will not get output(better copy it from web service)]
-(IBAction)loadData
{
NSString *soapMessage = [NSString stringWithFormat:
#"<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/\">\n"
"<SOAP-ENV:Body>\n"
"<GetDictionary></GetDictionary>\n"
"</SOAP-ENV:Body>\n"
"</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>"];
NSURL *url = [NSURL URLWithString:#"http://c70.narolainfotech.local/WCFTest/RestServiceImpl.svc/basic"];
NSMutableURLRequest *theRequest = [NSMutableURLRequest requestWithURL:url];
NSString *msgLength = [NSString stringWithFormat:#"%d", [soapMessage length]];
[theRequest addValue: #"text/xml; charset=utf-8" forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Type"];
[theRequest addValue: #"urn:RestServiceImpl/GetDictionary" forHTTPHeaderField:#"soapAction"];
// [theRequest addValue: #"urn:RestServiceImpl/getDataBY_ID" forHTTPHeaderField:#"soapAction"];
[theRequest addValue: msgLength forHTTPHeaderField:#"Content-Length"];
[theRequest setHTTPMethod:#"POST"];
[theRequest setHTTPBody: [soapMessage dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding]];
NSURLConnection *theConnection = [[NSURLConnection alloc] initWithRequest:theRequest delegate:self];
if(theConnection)
{
webData = [[NSMutableData data] retain];
}
else
{
NSLog(#"theConnection is NULL");
}
}
In connectionDidFinishLoading write following code:
-(void)connectionDidFinishLoading:(NSURLConnection *)connection
{
NSLog(#"DONE. Received Bytes: %d", [webData length]);
NSString *strData = [[NSString alloc]initWithData:webData encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
NSLog(#"result : %#",strData);
NSString *result=nil;
NSString *str;
NSString *theXML = [[NSString alloc] initWithBytes: [webData mutableBytes] length:[webData length] encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];
theXML = [theXML stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"<" withString:#"<"];
theXML = [theXML stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#">" withString:#">"];
theXML = [theXML stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString:#"&" withString:#"&"];
//NSLog(#"XML from Web-Service ======= \n\n %#",theXML);
NSArray *array=[theXML componentsSeparatedByString:#"<GetDictionaryResult>"];
for(int i=1;i<[array count];i++)
{
str=[array objectAtIndex:i];
NSRange ranfrom=[str rangeOfString:#"</GetDictionaryResult>"];
result =[str substringToIndex:ranfrom.location];
}
NSLog(#"result ::: %#",result);
}
Just Hope that it'll work for you. :)
