Re: How to communicate between Apache-SOAP and MSSOAP.(stock quote service)

[Khondker Akhter <Kh...@msdw.com>]

here is what i am trying to do:

run the StockQuoteService in tomcat/apache (works)
access the service from an thin vb client:

***********************************************************
vb client::

Private Sub Form_Load()
  Dim symbol As String
  Const WDSL_URL As String =
"http://mgfrm65:8181/services/StockQuoteService.wsdl"
  'Const name = "urn:xmltoday-delayed-quotes"
  symbolTB.Text = "IBM"
End Sub

Private Sub getQuoteCB_Click()
Dim ret As Variant
Dim sc As New MSSOAPLib.SoapClient
'Dim sc As Object
'Set sc = CreateObject("MSSOAP.SoapClient")

  On Error GoTo do_err
  symbol = symbolTB.Text
  quoteL.Caption = symbol
  Call
sc.mssoapinit("http://mgfrm65:8181/services/StockQuoteService.wsdl", _
                    "StockQuoteService", _
                    "StockQuotePort")
  ret = sc.getQuote(symbol)
  quoteL = ret
do_cont:
    Exit Sub
do_err:
    MsgBox Err & ": " & Error$
    MsgBox sc.faultactor & vbCrLf & _
            sc.faultcode & vbCrLf & _
            sc.faultstring

End Sub

Private Sub quitB_Click()
Unload Me
End Sub
