Hi,
I used web service refences to create call this web service and when I tested the web service in the test area in web service refences
it is working fine and it is giving the foloowing
In the request:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?><SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
     <SOAP-ENV:Body><ns1:searchByCommonNameGroupIdAndCim10Ids xmlns:ns1="http://contraindication.api.vidal.com"><ns1:commonNameGroupId>4835</ns1:commonNameGroupId><ns1:cim10Ids><ns1:int>4399</ns1:int></ns1:cim10Ids></ns1:searchByCommonNameGroupIdAndCim10Ids></SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
and it is returning this response
(<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"><soap:Body><ns1:searchByCommonNameGroupIdAndCim10IdsResponse xmlns:ns1="urn:Vidal"><ns1:contraIndicationCim10List><contraIndications xmlns="urn:Vidal"><contraIndicationTypeCim10Tuple><cim10><code>J45</code><id>4398</id><name> </name></cim10><contraIndication><id>16241</id><name>History of asthma attack related to taking aspirin</name></contraIndication><type>ABSOLUTE</type></contraIndicationTypeCim10Tuple><contraIndicationTypeCim10Tuple><cim10><code>J45</code><id>4398</id><name> </name></cim10><contraIndication><id>16251</id><name>History of asthma attack related to taking non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs</name></contraIndication><type>ABSOLUTE</type></contraIndicationTypeCim10Tuple></contraIndications><homogeneous xmlns="urn:Vidal">true</homogeneous></ns1:contraIndicationCim10List></ns1:searchByCommonNameGroupIdAndCim10IdsResponse></soap:Body></soap:Envelope>
But when I created form and report for this service it is giving me no data found>
How can I get the output of this service, if it is XML data also no problem for me.
Best Regards.
