Alex,
How do you start the web service using the SOAPUI? Can you please let me know as I am fairly new to all this.

Best regards,
Monisha

Roughtly speaking,
1) Download and install SOAPUI
http://www.soapui.org/

2) Import your process WSDL in SOAPUI

3) Double-click on the operation, fill in the values and click on send button

I used the SOAP UI to send in a request to the web service end point and I got a response back. The method just returns the string passed in. Here is the response:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<soap:Body>
<ReturnStringResponse xmlns="AddUser">
<ReturnStringResult>Hello Monisha</ReturnStringResult>
</ReturnStringResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Which implies that the webservice works fine. Would appreciate if you can please give me further debugging assistance on why it fails when executed from the bpms server.

Thanks,

Monisha

Alex,

Using the SOAP UI the webservice when invoked works perfectly. Here is the response:

<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<soap:Body>
<ReturnStringResponse xmlns="AddUser">
<ReturnStringResult>Hello Monisha</ReturnStringResult>
</ReturnStringResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>

Any feedback on trying to get this web service working from the bpms server will be much appreciated.

Best regards,
Monisha

This may be a bug or limitation in our code that handles the "Start" invocation. It was designed to handle service descriptions (WSDL) that are generated by our tool, not any type of WSDL. I would need to see your Designer project to confirm this.

This restriction does not apply to services that the engine can invocation, so it just applies to processes that you want to start from the BPMS console.

Alex,
Thanks for you prompt reply. I am attaching my project for your convenience. Is there a possible work around that I can use? Any input will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Monisha

PS: Sorry for the multiple posts, was under the impression that it did not go thru.
