Script in template using SOAP: Works in designer preview, not in rendering from LC Output

Question

I did a script in a livecycle ES2 Template in the event layout::ready. It call a web service using the SOAP method to get a base64 image from another server.
The code is (the service called is fake, but it is not the problem):
var sOptions = "";
var imageType="JPEG";
var input= {imageType:sItype,
        options:sOptions};
var svcResponse;
try
     var oListURL = "http://someserver.somedomain.com:8080/service?wsdl";
     SOAP.wireDump = true;
     var service = SOAP.connect(oListURL);
     //call the service
     svcResponse = service.getImageBinary(input);
     //transfer image in grahic object
     this.GraphImage.rawValue=svcResponse;   
}catch(e){
     svcResponse = e.message ;
     root.PaginaUNO.TextField1.rawValue = e.message;
This script WORKS PERFECTLY using the Livecycle Designer Preview. The image is got and correctly showed.
When I want to render the PDF via Livecycle Server (calling the output service), I got an error:
"SOAP is undefined."
The server on which runs Livecycle has Acrobat 9 pro installed; is the same server on which I run Workbench and Designer. It seems that, trying to execute the script it misses something, maybe a class or something where is declared the SOAP object.
Can someone give me a hint, please?

Hi,
I think the LC Output does not use Acrobat to render XDP's and the LC Output does not have a SOAP object and this is why I think you are getting the error.
I can't think how to work around this, other that to try and make the code only run once it is opened in the Acrobat host and not on the server while it is being rendered.
