I need to parse WCF binary response. The reason is that I have no contract nor metadata I can just call wcf service with parameters using WebClient. What I'm getting now is binary response with xml inside but when I want to deserialize it with BinaryFormatter and load xml document, it gives me an error because of leading data. Is there some class which can do this for me?
Thanks.
I was also looking for something similar and I came across https://github.com/waf/WCF-Binary-Message-Inspector
It may help you out.
thank you for responses. Actually I ended up following this blog post (Fiddler plugin):
http://blog.functionalfun.net/2009/11/fiddler-plug-in-for-inspecting-wcf.html
there is also a link to source code:

hope it will help

Hi I am working with Mule Web Service Consumer and i was trying to call operation with Multiple Parameters it is warning me that
Warning : Operation Messages With More then 1 Part Are Not Supported
I just want to pass multiple parameters to access my SOAP method to achieve the task.
Is this the problem with Web Service Consumer or is their any way to deal with this.
I'm afraid this is a known limitation of the web services consumer. However you can accomplish this with the cxf component.
I having the same issue and found some information around it ...
There is a improvement logged in JIRA, may help if you vote for it :)
This link suggests that you can still use WSConsumer but need to do some hand crafting of the request XML ... I could not understand what that exactly it meant so if anyone has an example on it would be great
PS: The problem I had with using CXF component is that it does not play well with the new Dataweave transformer as the Dataweave needs to be placed within the response block and from there it cannot datasense the response coming out from the CXF component
The Solution here is very simple. You just have to comment other messages and then load metadata for non-commented message (for one which you're trying to load metadata). Repeat this procedure for all the other messages and you're good to go.
Hope this helps !
I am working with ksoap2 for android and I am sending SOAP requests. I was googling for a whole day and couldn't find solution for my problem. The first problem was with i:type, my service was returning fault for requests with i:type, so I found that this can be fixed using
SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER10);
instead of
SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
and that fixed the i:type problem. Now the generated request doesn't contain i:type and if I send it using SOAP UI it works fine, but now I get NullPointerException
in this line
httpTransport.call(DEFAULT_SOAP_ACTION, envelope);
Can anyone help me out with this? If u need my code I can post it. I also tried using different versions of ksoap .jar file and it didn't help.
Maybe someone will need this.
I solved this by setting types explicitly (for each PropertyInfo there is .setType function which receives type class String.class etc.) and use
SoapSerializationEnvelope envelope = new SoapSerializationEnvelope(SoapEnvelope.VER11);
and using that removes i:type from the soap request. Hope it will help someone.
I have a really weird situation (may be its for me only). I developed a RESTful API. By default it returns the result as JSON/XML/TEXT as per the Content Type sent by the client in headers.
Now client is saying that he wants to set the response as default as XML only. What I mean here is that client will not send any content type in headers and it will by default send the request as XML.
When I access this API from browser, it return it as XML but when client's app requests it, it returns JSON result by default. They are getting the result as XML by putting the content type in headers but they don't want to do it and want to have XML result by default.
I hope I am clear on it. If not please let me know.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

I am interested in knowing if there is some way I can modify the request headers when I receive request on server.
It is in MVC3, C#.
You can't change the request headers, just query them.
I guess you return your result as a simple string in your controllers, isn't it?
And, you are switching between results depending on the contenttype you read from request, don't you?
What is the contenttype the client call come with?
UPDATE:
Look at this page:
http://aleembawany.com/2009/03/27/aspnet-mvc-create-easy-rest-api-with-json-and-xml/
It's a solution for a previous version of MVC, but it will give you an idea about the solution you need:
Adjust the action result depending on the request contenttype
I find the answer and posting here. I just removed the other return types except the xml type like below:
void ConfigureApi(HttpConfiguration config)
{
// Remove the JSON formatter
config.Formatters.Remove(config.Formatters.JsonFormatter);
// or
// Remove the XML formatter
config.Formatters.Remove(config.Formatters.XmlFormatter);
}

I have an app on the roll that requires me to upload files from it to a webservice. I am basically a noob in file transfer and in app-webservice comunications and would appreciate a direction in which to go.
The first question is how to encode the file? The webservice has to interpret the data sent so in which way do i do it? I don't own the webservice so i don't know how they pick up files, but i assume in a XML/JSON format.
The second question is how am i to send it? Having a XML object, how do i send it to, let's say, "http://www.website.com/path/to/upload". Is Async available?
If i'm missing or am wrong about a step (or 10) please correct me! Your help is much appreciated!
1: If it is a XML you will need to parse it, and create objet from it. If it's a Json, i recommend you https://github.com/johnezang/JSONKit JSONKIt, which is really awesome.
2: You 'll need get that data from webService and ASIHTTP is a really great tool to get fast web service call. The doc is really clear and comprehensible http://allseeing-i.com/ASIHTTPRequest/ is a must have.
3: You send your data either by url (get) or post.
Hope for you it's not into XML format, this is really painful, believe me
My Service class designed through Axis2, I am able to send any data type of resords like
(premetive datatypes). I don't know how to send Image file.
Have a read of the documentation - its very good for Axis2 -> http://axis.apache.org/axis2/java/core/docs/mtom-guide.html
There are some code examples in there too on how to transfer images using Axis2
Use soap with attachment option or MTOM..Following posts are helpful
