# Example: web_service_call

In the first example, the web_service_call function calls a Web Service GetUKLocationByTown to locate a location on a map.

    #include "as_web.h"

    web_service_call( "StepName=UkLocation",
        "ExpectedResponse=AnySoap",
        "URL=http://www.locatorx.net/uklocation.asmx",
        "SOAPMethod=TownService|TownServiceSoap|GetUKLocationByTown",
        "SOAPMethodNamespace=http://www.locatorX.NET",
        "SOAPMethodStyle=document",
        "SOAPAction=http://www.locatorX.NET/GetUKLocationByTown",
        "WSDL=http://www.locatorx.net/uklocation.asmx?WSDL",
        "SOAPHeader=<SoapHeader><e>jb14</e></SoapHeader>",
        "Snapshot=t1.inf",
        BEGIN_ARGUMENTS,
            "Town=London",
        END_ARGUMENTS,
        BEGIN_RESULT,
             "GetUKLocationByTownResult=Result",
        END_RESULT,
        LAST );

In the second example, the web_service_call function performs DIME uploads and downloads.

    lr_save_string("Some content for an attachment in a Parameter",
        "pAttachmentContent" );

    // DIME encoded upload
    web_service_call( "StepName=DimeUploadFile_102",
        "ExpectedResponse=AnySoap",
        "SOAPMethod=MyDimeService|MyDimeServiceSoap|DimeUploadFile",
        "SOAPHeader=<SoapHeader><e>jb14</e></SoapHeader>",
        "WSDL=http://myServer/DimeGen/MyDimeService.asmx?WSDL",
        "UseWSDLCopy=1",
        "Snapshot=t1124018494.inf",
        BEGIN_ARGUMENTS,
        "file_name=d:\\temp\\myUploaded.txt",
        END_ARGUMENTS,
        ATTACHMENTS_FORMAT_DIME,
        ATTACHMENT_ADD,
        "FiLeNaMe=d:/temp/attachment.in",//"ContentType=text/plain",
        BEGIN_RESULT,
        END_RESULT,
        LAST );

    // DIME encoded download
    web_service_call( "StepName=DimeDownloadFile_102",
    	"SOAPMethod=MyDimeService|MyDimeServiceSoap|DimeDownloadFile",
           "ExpectedResponse=AnySoap",
           "WSDL=http://myServer/DimeGen/MyDimeService.asmx?WSDL",
           "UseWSDLCopy=1",
           "Snapshot=t1124022373.inf",
         BEGIN_ARGUMENTS,
           "file_name=d:\\temp\\myUploaded.txt",
         END_ARGUMENTS,
         BEGIN_RESULT,
         END_RESULT,
         ATTACHMENT_SAVE_ALL,
         "pAraMnAmepReFiX=pAttachmentContent",
         LAST );

In the third example, the server reply is directed to a host using WS-Addressing with as specified by the `WSAReplyTo` argument. In the first call, the `WSAAction` is specified. Both calls are asynchronous, as indicated by the `AsyncEvent` argument. The test run continues until the following web_service_wait_for_event invocation.

    web_service_call( "StepName=echo_101",
        "ExpectedResponse=AnySoap",
        "SOAPMethod=MyService|MyServiceSOAP12port0|echo",
        "SOAPHeader=<SoapHeader><e>jb14</e></SoapHeader>",
        "ResponseParam=response",
        "Service=MyService",
        "Snapshot=t1156241380.inf",
        "WSAReplyTo=111.111.111.011",
        "WSAAction=http://example1.org/MyServiceSOAP12port0/echo",
        "AsyncEvent=event1",
        BEGIN_ARGUMENTS,
        "xml:part1=<part1><EchoInput>true</EchoInput><Latency>4</Latency></part1>",
        END_ARGUMENTS,
        BEGIN_RESULT,
        "part1/EchoOutput=Param_EchoOutput1",
        END_RESULT,
        LAST );

    web_service_call( "StepName=echo_101",
        "SOAPMethod=MyService|MyServiceSOAP12port0|echo",
        "ResponseParam=response",
        "Service=MyService",
        "Snapshot=t1156241380.inf",
        "WSAReplyTo=111.111.111.011",
        "AsyncEvent=event2",
        BEGIN_ARGUMENTS,
    "xml:part1=<part1><EchoInput>false</EchoInput><Latency>1</Latency></part1>",
        END_ARGUMENTS,
        BEGIN_RESULT,
        "part1/EchoOutput=Param_EchoOutput2",
        END_RESULT,
        LAST );

    web_service_wait_for_event("Quantifier=ALL","Timeout=11111",BEGIN_EVENTS,"event1","event2",END_EVENTS,LAST );
