Problem with Web services

Hi.

I already lost 6 working days, and all my projects are down with that problem... :-(
I must use Web services, but I have a serious problem with non ASCII strings (for example “Jérôme&#8221.

Here are two pieces of my code: an extract of the WSDL, and my attempts to use two very simple functions of the Web service:

- The first function is Hello_Name(aName, aLogin, aPwd) which uses 3 strings as parameters and simply returns the “aName” parameter in “Hello my dear aName”. If I send “John”, I receive “Hello my dear John”, BUT if I send “Jérôme”, I receive “Hello my dear J?r?me” and not “Hello my dear Jérôme”. When I test this webservice with Flash or C#, I have no problem with accent; I receive “Hello my dear Jérôme”.

- the second function is voir_users_meeting(aLogin) which uses 1 string as parameter and simply returns ever the same list of names, with one name with accent (“Zoé&#8221. Again, with Flash or C#, no problem, but with Windev I receive “Zoé” as “Zoé”.

I tried a lot of solutions, but I suppose not the good one. For example, I tried:
- to call the WS with SOAP.name[], SOAP.type[]…
- to import the WS as a collection of functions (as provided by Windev), and then to call these procedures/functions. This is the solution that I use at the moment.
- to transform the strings before sending (and after receiving) them in or from XML, Unicode, Ansi, OEM, URL, and so on.
- to use ‘fixed strings’, ‘ASCIIZ strings’, ‘UNICODE strings’, and so on, as parameters.

Nothing gives me "Jérôme" or "Zoé" :-(

I really need your help. I hope that somebody has the solution.

I don't know if this will help, but I did a very brief proof of concept reading in such accented data from an XML file, and like you went through several different methods before finding one that worked:

OfficeName = UTF8ToString(XMLExtractString(XMLSource, "OffNam", i),charsetAnsi)

Hello,

did you try to contact the Technical Support (even via phone) for that problem ?

Regards,

Olivier

What is the type of data coming back from WebServices? I ran into a similar issue where data was in base64Binary format in XML definition, and I used Uncrypt(sFileContentString,"",cryptNone) to uncrypt it.

If you want, you can test yourself the WS. Send me an email and I'll give you the WSDL URL, login and password.

Here is the code of the button; there is no other code in the project.

stResultat est STHello_NameResponse
sTexteEnvoye is string
sTexteReçu is string

sTexteEnvoye="Jérôme"
stResultat=Hello_Name(sTexteEnvoye,"...", "...")

sTexteReçu=XMLVersTexte(stResultat:m_Hello_NameResult)
Info(sTexteReçu)

sTexteReçu=UTF8ToString(sTexteReçu)
Info(sTexteReçu)

Hou have to test with accent, like "Jérôme" (may be the string will be not correctly displayed here, it is Je'ro^me ) . You should obtain "Hello my dear Jérôme", but I obtain "Hello my dear J?R?me".
