New-WebServiceProxy

PowerShell Help
1

I am trying to hit a soap service with the following ports

<wsdl:portType name="IApplicationService">...</wsdl:portType>
<wsdl:portType name="IEnvironmentService">...</wsdl:portType>
<wsdl:portType name="IEnvSrvService">...</wsdl:portType>
<wsdl:portType name="IServerService">...</wsdl:portType>
I believe my issue is in understanding the ins and out of what a class or a namespace is within a wsdl.

if I use $request=New-WebServiceProxy -Uri $url and try to use a function from any Service other than IApplicationService no functions show up. I understand I should be able to use class or namespace to switch ports but I’m not having any luck. Most of the documentation on New-WebServiceProxy point to outdated public wsdl’s. Is there any documentation that uses updated public api’s? Or anyone who has experience with using new-webservice proxy and making soap calls?

Depends on the Soap you want to access,

If i go to our soap server ill have to do the following

[pre]

$VerbosePreference = “Continue”

$URI = ‘https://servername:8099/SOAP?service=Map2Max’

$Soap = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri $URI
$token = $null
$login = $soap.login([string]‘loginname’, [string]‘password’, [ref]$Token)

if ($login.Result -eq $true) {
Write-Verbose ‘Inloggen gelukt’
$soap.GetConnectionString($token, ‘loginname’)
$logoff = $soap.LogOff($token)
#($soap.LogOff($token).Resultmsg) #short notation
$logoff.Resultmsg
}
else {
Write-Verbose ‘Inloggen niet gelukt’
}

[/pre]

 

If you want more examples let me know

thank you.

If I have the following soap service http://[address]/Service1.svc?wsdl

With the following structure (trimmed down for the purpose of this forum)
-p class=“line”>-/p>
I could not get the xml pasting to work here so going rogue and replace all the carrots with dashes in the xml below.

[pre]

-wsdl:message name=“IApplicationService_ApplicationDetailsbyAppID_InputMessage”>
-wsdl:part name=“parameters” element=“tns:ApplicationDetailsbyAppID”/>

[/pre]

-p class=“line”>I then use the following powershell to get to the wsdl-/p>
[pre]$url=“http://[address]/Service1.svc?wsdl”
$y=New-webServiceProxy -Uri $url

$y.ServerDetailsbyServerID(10,1)

[/pre]

I get this error:

[pre]

Method invocation failed because [Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.NewWebserviceProxy.AutogeneratedTypes.WebServiceProxy11caqa_corpadqa_net_Service1_svc.BasicHttpBinding_IApplicationService]
does not contain a method named ‘ServerDetailsbyServerID’.
At line:5 char:1

  • $y.ServerDetailsbyServerID(10,1)
  • CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (:slight_smile: , RuntimeException
  • FullyQualifiedErrorId : MethodNotFound

[/pre]

It only sees functions from iapplicationservice. Which makes no sense. SoapUI can crawl the entire service. Thank you. I am assuming their is something within the namespace or class functions I am missing. I’ve tried adding Iserverservice as a paramater for one then the other and both and got a similar result. I offer up that maybe I do not understand API’s that well. Thank you.thank you.

without the link to the wsdl all i can think of is something like

 

$y.IServerService.ServerDetailsbyServerID(10,1)

Sadly it is internal. Tried that and it get’s me “You cannot call a method on a null-valued expression.” which seems to be a little promising. Frustrating in it’s own way I got this working with

invoke-webrequest

[pre]

$URI = “http://address/Service1.svc?WSDL”
$headers = New-Object “System.Collections.Generic.Dictionary[[String],[String]]”
$headers.Add(“charset”, ‘utf-8’)
$headers.Add(“SOAPAction”, ‘urn:WatchmanService:ServersService/IServerService/ServerDetailsbyServerID’)

[xml] $body=@"
-soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv=“http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/” xmlns:urn=“urn:WatchmanService:ServersService”-
-soapenv:Header/-
-soapenv:Body-
-urn:ServerDetailsbyServerID-
-!–Optional:—
-urn:ServerID-10-/urn:ServerID-
-/urn:ServerDetailsbyServerID-
-/soapenv:Body-
-/soapenv:Envelope-
"@

[xml] $result = (Invoke-WebRequest -Method Post -Uri $URI -Headers $headers -Body $body -ContentType ‘text/xml’)
$result.InnerXml

[/pre]

 

Any thoughts on translating that to New-WebServiceProxy? (honestly, it’s now an ego thing)

:wink:

Hi,

When you call New-WebServiceProxy against a wsdl with multiple interfaces, the call just creates a proxy against the first interface it finds. If you want to use other interfaces, you’ll have to declare a New-Object of the type you are actually looking to use. My typical pattern for this is this:

$proxy = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri $url -Namespace MyNameSpace
$proxy = New-Object MyNameSpace.IEnvSrvService
Note that if you are using a debugger or running the script repeatedly, you will end up with namespace collisions. So in that case, I change my pattern to NOT pass in a namespace and instead get the default (ugly) one from PowerShell and reuse that.
$proxy = New-WebServiceProxy -Uri $url
$MyNameSpace = $proxy.GetType().Namespace
$proxy = New-Object ("{0}.IEnvSrvService" -f $MyNameSpace)
