Can it be possible?

Thanks.

@namita 1: you are again mixing two prtocols in your calls! This time jsonrpc and xmlrpc. Please take the time to understand what these 3 words mean: json-rpc, xml-rpc, soap. Read about them on wikipedia.

In short: the server is answering with a jsonrpc response to the client. This response contains an error message. The error message is: "the client sent a request that is not valid according to my protocol".

You should either

  1. change the jsonrpc server into an xmlrpc server, or
  2. in the payload you create in the debugger write some valid json data, not some xml data

@namita 2: if you want to create a webservice in eZP with the ggwebservices extension and consume it from a .net application, you currently have two choices:

  1. use a library in your .net application that speaks the xml-rpc or json-rpc protocols and use that library for the client
  2. wait a few weeks (possibly months) until there is good support for SOAP+WSDL servers within the extension. Currently only the SOAP+WSDL client is there, but I am working on the server implementation. I do not promise release dates, though.

Sorry for making you confuse.

I was trying to understand both xml-rpc and json-rpc.

so i was confused.

Thanks for helping.

It is possible to create a SOAP webservice in eZP, but

- there is limited support for marshaling of native contents

- there is no support for WSDL

To do it:

1. create an extension

2. in it, create settings/soap.ini.append.php and in the file declare your extension to provide soap services

3. in the extension, create soap/initialize.php and add your logic in there (similar to the above examples with jsonrpc/xmlrpc)

Another solution is to forego completely eZP native SOAP support, and code you server from scratch using custom modules/views. Example code for the view:

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST')
    {
        $server = new SoapServer( $my_wsdl_file );
        $server->setClass( $mySoapWorkerClass );
        $server->handle();
    }
    else 
    {
         readfile( $my_wsdl_file );
    }
    eZExecution::cleanExit();

Last but not least: another interesting extension for SOAP support in eZP: http://projects.ez.no/nusoap/
