How To Consume SharePoint Web Services?

I am having problems with integrating SharePoint web services into a BEA web application. I want to consume the SharePoint Web Services (for example, http://<sitename>/_vti_bin/Search.asmx). I've generated a service control out of the WSDL, but when I execute any method, it responds with
<faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode>
<faultstring>Server was unable to process request. --> Object reference not set to an instance of an object.</faultstring>
I've found tons of examples for consuming these from .NET and C#, but not from BEA. It sounds like I need to instantiate the SharePoint object and pass in some Windows credentials. I am using BEA 8.1.6 and WSS 2.0 / SPS 2003. I watched the BEA online demo at http://dev2dev.bea.com/downloads/ExcelServer/workshop_vista.html but this is for much newer BEA and WSS/SPS versions. Can it be done with my versions and if so how?

<html>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="jquery.SPServices-0.7.2.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var url = "[site Url]";
$(document).ready(function() {
$().SPServices({
operation: "GetWebCollection",
webURL: url,
completefunc: function(xData, status) {
$(xData.responseXML).find("Web").each(function() {
// var weburlvar = $(this).attr("Url");
//alert(weburlvar);
$('#urlOptions').append($('<option></option>').val($(this).attr("Url")).html($(this).attr("Title")));
alert(url);
url = $(this).attr("Url");
$().SPServices({
operation: "GetWebCollection",
webURL: url,
completefunc: function(xData, status) {
$(xData.responseXML).find("Web").each(function() {
// var weburlvar = $(this).attr("Url");
//alert(weburlvar);
$('#urlOptions').append($('<option></option>').val($(this).attr("Url")).html($(this).attr("Title")));
</script>
<select id="urlOptions" onchange="window.open(this.options[this.selectedIndex].value,'_top')">
<option value="">Select Site...</option>
</select>
</body>
</html>
Try to use above code in html file in IE browser which lists down all the subsites available in current site (not only the top level). You can make the code more cleaner by making it as a recursive function. Give the exact link for spservice reference. Replace
[Site url] with your site url

How to consume Sharepoint web services in SMP 2.3?

Hi,
I want to create jQuery Mobile application in which i want to call Sharepoint (SOAP) web services like (getListCollection, getListItems etc) through
SMP 2.3 Can any one tell me in detail how to consume Sharepoint web services in SMP 2.3 so that i can use data in my jQuery Mobile Application?
For example my web service is http://xxxxx:xx/___/Lists.asmx?op=GetListItems

Hi Harshada,
Any good reasons to integrate Share point Jquery mobile application with SMP ?
because Share point web services can be consumed directly in the Jquery mobile applications.
Please look at the below examples to achieve it.

How to consume a web service provided by third party system from SAP system

Hi Friends,
Could any of you provide me a clear picture on how to consume a web service from SAP system and is provided by a third party system?
Do we get an URL to create a client proxy for consuming the web service?
Thanx in advance,
Ram

Hi Ram,
of course you cannot supply the WSDL URL. Inside the WSDL (just view it in your browser) you find (usually but not necessary) towards the end something like
<soap:address location="http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/xml/SOAP_server/ndfdXMLserver.php"/>
which is the actual adress of the service.
An example service can be found here:
<a href="http://www.weather.gov/xml/">National Digital Forecast Database</a>
containing the WSDL URL at
<a href="http://www.weather.gov/forecasts/xml/DWMLgen/wsdl/ndfdXML.wsdl">this address</a>.
You might also want to browse for the amazon webservices which allow you to embed queries against amazon into your application.
have fun,
anton

How to consume/access web services in forefront identity manager 2010 r2

Hi,
I have one web service in c# for authentication so i want to integrate this web service in my FIM 2010 R2.I want to ask one more question how to consume/access web service of FIM 2010 R2,so please tell me how is it possible in FIM 2010 R2 and
anybody have any example for consuming/accessing web service step by step in FIM 2010 R2.
Regards
Anil Kumar

Here is some C# code that accesses FIM resource attributes from the web services via the FIM 2010 Resource Management Client which I mentioned in an earlier post:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Client;
using Microsoft.ResourceManagement.ObjectModel;
namespace MyTest
public partial class ResourceAttribute
public ResourceAttribute()
public string GetTypeAndDisplayName(string objectID)
String ReturnValue = String.Empty;
using (Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Client.DefaultClient client = new DefaultClient())
client.ClientCredential = CredentialCache.DefaultNetworkCredentials;
client.RefreshSchema();
string query = String.Format("/*[ObjectId={0}]", objectID);
foreach (RmResource res in client.Enumerate(query))
String displayName = res.DisplayName;
String objectType = res.ObjectType;
ReturnValue = displayName + " (" + objectType + ")";
break;
return ReturnValue;
You would just need to define your bindings and endpoints in your web.config. This method will return the DisplayName and ObjectType for the resource with the ObjectId matching the objectID argument. If you need more information, please provide more specifics
for what you are trying to accomplish.
There are many code examples for this library on its CodePlex home:

Consuming ABAP Web Service in Non SAP system

Hi
I have created an ABAP web service form the RFC and configured it in the SOAMANAGER. I have tested it in Web Service Navigator using the URL and it is working fine.
Now I am trying to access it from the Non SAP system using Java Code. I am able to access the WSDL using the URL from the step 1 but not able to receive any output when providing inputs.
So I am not sure if I am missing any configuration on the Provider System (SAP) or on the Consumer system (Non SAP) to access the web service. As far I have not configured anything on the consumer system. Please let me know how to consume the web service in the Non SAP system.
Thank you,
Rohit

not necessarily an answer to your question, but i find that when creating SAP web services, before we create the code for consuming them, I always test them with the SOAPUI package. with this test suite you can import the WSDL, and run individual tests, seeing the input, output, exceptions, etc. This is a good way to check the connection, the flow and the service logic, before writing any code. This will also let you know whether it is a WS issue, or an issue with your code.
just a thought, from someone who has been there...
http://www.soapui.org is where you can find the SOAPUI. It helped me out a lot.

How to install and consume GroupWise Web Service (SOAP)

Hello! I'm Razvan, programmer from Romnia, and I am new to GroupWise development.
I am asking if anyone could help me with a C# Visual Studio 2010 example of how to install and consume GroupWise Web Service (SOAP).
The documentation from novell site didn't help me, i didn't understant much of it.
All I need is either a link to a documented GroupWise C# developer step-by-step tutorial, or some code examples.
Can you please show me some code examples in C# with:
1)loging in using a username and a password,
2)retrieving contact list,
3)retrieving appointment list,
4)sending a mail,
5)setting an appointment
I don't know how to use "groupwise.wsdl" and customise it so that it points to our GroupWise server.
Please, I really need this because I am working at a project right now which involves GroupWise integration.
I hope I haven't disturbed anyone with my simple question.
I know this might be a very simple question given the complexity of the other posts here, but that's why I really hope I will get an answer soon.
Thank you very much!

Hi SDS,
you recieved a http 404 error when trying to access the Sharepoint Web service. Http 404 indicates that the resource is not reachable (cf. HTTP 404 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). There could be different reasons for that. I'd suggest rubble checking the URL of the Web service first. Try to access it from a browser on you desktop. If the URL is correc. Most likely the SAP system is not able to connect to the URL. This could, for example, be due to some firewall restrictions. You should ask a SAP Basis colleague if they are able to access the URL of the Web service from the server on which the SAP system is running.

How to use a deployable proxy to consume a web service?

HI Gurus,
I am following this article below which helpfully explains how to create a proxy. So far so good. I have been able to create a proxy. However, the article only describes how to build a proxy.
https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/70c7d0f7-153d-2a10-5d96-d334b67cd771
In the concluding part of the document the author says "In my next article I will tell you how to use this deployable proxy to consume the web service in web application."
I have looked around the SDN but have not been able to get the next part of this document.
I have a JSPDynpage application which is required to consume a webservice. I want to use this proxt to consume the webservice.
Any help or any other document that explains how to use a deployable proxy to consume a web service will be helpful.
Thanks,
SB

How to execute XML batch commands using SharePoint Web services or Client Object Model

Hi,
I have a requirement to execute some batch commands to update SharePoint View Style, how can i do it using SharePoint webservices or SharePoint Client Object model.
I need to execute the following Batch command over a particular web.
<Method ID="UpdateView">
<SetVar Name="Cmd">UpdateView</SetVar>
<SetList Scope="Request">{GUID of List}</SetList>
<SetVar Name="View">{GUID of View}</SetVar>
<SetVar Name="ViewStyle">6</SetVar>
<SetVar Name="RowLimit">100</SetVar>
<SetVar Name="Paged">TRUE</SetVar>
</Method>

Hi
I tried it already... But UpdateView Method in the Views.asmx and Lists.asmx, both are not supporting for updating the style of the view (like Boxed, Newsletter...).
If you have any code sample which will do this job with any of the SharePoint web services, please share it..

Problems consuming a web service in ABAP

We wish to consume an external web service from ABAP but the provided WSDL file contains syntax not supported by SAP - namely "mixed content". A response from Roman Glushkov      in forum thread [Call Sharepoint Web Service; seemed to offer a solution.
The WSDL file was edited as suggested by Roman and the Service Consumer proxy was successfully created from this edited version. However, in our SAP release (Basis release 700 support pack SAPKB70018) the "untyped mapping" indicator is not shown anywhere so we are unable to set that for those elements that were set edited in the WSDL.
The problem now is that when calling a method where the return parameters include one of these edited elements we get the error "SOAP:1,001 CX_ST_MATCH_TYPE:XSLT exception.System expected a value for the type g" presumably because SAP is trying to de-serialise the response rather than just return the data as an XML string.
Does anyone know how to get this "untyped mapping" indicator or can anyone suggest another way to solve this mixed content issue?
TIA
Gareth

Hi Tim
I've sort of got further in that I I can now call the web service method without error but structure returned is empty even though I know the SOAP response has data.
What I did was to go back to the WSDL and re-write the type declaration bit to fully describe the response message.
The appropriate portion of the original WSDL was;
      <s:element name="getActionListResponse">
        <s:complexType>
          <s:sequence>
            <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="getActionListResult">
              <s:complexType mixed="true">
                <s:sequence>
                  <s:any />
                </s:sequence>
              </s:complexType>
            </s:element>
          </s:sequence>
        </s:complexType>
      </s:element>
The response SOAP message was;
<getActionListResponse xmlns="http://webcominc.com/">
     <getActionListResult>
          <RESULT xmlns="">
               <RESULT>
                    OK
               </RESULT>
               <REASON />
               <ACTION>
                    View
               </ACTION>
               <ACTION>
                    Change Status
               </ACTION>
          </RESULT>
     </getActionListResult>
</getActionListResponse>
So I re-wrote the WSDL as follows;
<s:element name="getActionListResponse">
   <s:complexType>
      <s:sequence>
         <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="getActionListResult">
             <s:complexType>
               <s:sequence>
                  <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="RESULT">
                     <s:complexType>
                        <s:sequence>
                           <s:element name="RESULT" type="s:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" />
                           <s:element name="REASON" type="s:string" minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="1" />
                           <s:element maxOccurs="unbounded" name="ACTION" type="s:string" minOccurs="0" />
                        </s:sequence>
                     </s:complexType>
                  </s:element>
               </s:sequence>
            </s:complexType>
         </s:element>
      </s:sequence>
   </s:complexType>
</s:element>
Using this new version of the WSDL I recreated the ABAP Proxy but as I said this now returns an ABAP structure that is empty. I'm new to WSDL so its very probable that my attempt at defining the response message is incorrect or maybe it is something to do with the fact that the response message has two elements called RESULT - one being the child of the other?

Gareth
