Is there any method of calling a SOAP Service with the URL :
http://localhost:8088/...TestService?wsdl
How can I invoke and get the values from the client using javascript?
Cheers!!
Thanks
You shouldnt call soap service directly from js because soap is not limited to http communication and there is no good support for soap in JavaScript.
It is better to use intermediate layer which is more capable in terms of soap communication. For example you can call from JavaScript your asp.net mvc application using ajax and then call soap service from asp.net mvc app using wcf. Instead of asp.net mvc you can use any other server side technology and soap communication library. JavaScript is good for ajax/json communication but not for soap.
JavaScript doesn't have a SOAP library out of the box, though you can google around and find them, The web services still need to be on the origin server.

I am developing one mobile web application.
In this, i want to call a Web Service and fetch data from their using Java Script only.
I searched a lot and try to implement some code also but it didn't help me out.
One thing is that the Web Service was made in .NET using SOAP.
So, please help me to solve it immediately.
One easy would be to create an ASP.NET Web API Http service wrapper around your current webservice and use jQuery to access it. This will be much simpler than using JS to access a SOAP service.

As the title suggests, I'm trying to figure out how to call a soap service using JavaScript. The SOAP Service is being run on Tomcat on my local machine. Along with accessing the SOAP service, I can also download/access/read the WSDL very easily.
I've been hitting my head against the wall for days now with this problem. While researching, I'm come across short examples, but none are comprehensive and detail how to accomplish this from start to end. That, or I've found a solution but it only works for IE or Mozilla.
Any ideas how to call a SOAP web service using Javascript (on major browsers)? Thanks!
(PS: I'm also using jquery. So if you want to accomplish this using some slick jquery tool, please feel free to suggest it)
SOAP is just XML so it should be possible to do this, however I'm not aware of any existing SOAP Clients written in JS
A more common method would probably be:
JavaScript initiates an XHR object which calls to a server-side AJAX helper using either GET/POST parameters, or a JSON encoded object
AJAX helper makes the call to either a Database or Web Service, as appropriate, and outputs required data object(s) as either JSON or XML
JavaScript parses response body (JSON or XML) and takes required action using specified data.
This has a couple of advantages over trying to call WebServices directly from JavaScript:
SOAP XML can be quite complex, which means more data to transfer to and from the client, which may be a slow connection. JSON in particular, but also an XML schema that just has the required data would be a much more economical on data usage
If the WebService requires any kind of authentication the authentication details will be exposed to all visitors.
Web Services are generally used for to standardise communications between separate systems, rather than for communication between the front and back end components of the same Application/Site.
I have asp page that need to access a client resource. Can I put the client code in a Windows Service and install it on client machine and call that service in asp JavaScript page?
Thanks
Are you asking if it's possible to call a WCF service using Javascript? Obviously the answer is yes, any book on WCF will show you how.
Can I call a SOAP web service from JavaScript? The SOAP web service in question is a member of the Exchange Web Services platform. I have found the Exchange Web Services OSX Widget but that uses Curl to do the actual SOAP call. So I am wondering if there is a limitation in the JavaScript abilities to interface with SOAP using authentication.
Javascript isn't very good at web services because of the same origin policy which means you're only allowed to request resources from the same domain as the page you call from.
You could work around this by setting up a proxy on your server to hand the request off to elsewhere. The problem with this is you'd have to build the SOAP message yourself as I very much doubt anyone has ever bothered to write a js SOAP library due to the afore mentioned limitations.
Instead, I would pick your favourite server side SOAP library and expose an interface to be called via AJAX.
I would like to consume my Axis2 webservice through a JavaScript client.
You need a javascript SOAP client line jQuery SOAP plugin.
If you have access to the Web Service code, you could modify it to use JSON instead of SOAP.
