WCF / ASMX :: Web Service Is Not Working On Production Server
Sep 14, 2010
i am calling the webservice from acrobat javascript. it works very well in development server. but when i put the same code in production server, it doesnt call the webservice.
built a web service and pushed it to my production server. When I view the .asmx file I can see the methods listed and I can also test them fine using the generated forms.I am having an issue, however, when I attempt to test my web service by...(1) creating a new web app project (VB -- VS 2010).(2) creating a web reference (works fine).(3) calling the method by running it on my local machine.#1 and #2 are fine but it seems as if the web method never gets called (returns an empty string).
I have a web service that was running on Server 2003, IIS6. The service required an SSL connection. The service expects 4 parameters; a User ID, Password, Record ID and the "type" of data requested (one of 5 options). The service validates the user then simply performs a select of the record ID from a table determined by the type specified. This service was up and running for a couple of years. I installed a couple of new servers a couple of months ago. The users that makes use of this service just tried it and couldn't get a response. I checked the server and I hadn't copied the service over. The service is located in a virtual directory under the primary web site.
For example, the site is: [URL] Service virtual directory is "GetITSData" The call to the service has been: [URL] param1, param2, param3, param4 and the service would return the appropriate data. I "assumed" that when I copied the actual contents of the directory over, that the service would then begin functioning again (since it was empty). All IIS snap-in manager items for the virtual directory match the previous settings on the old server (I still have that server available in my office). The main site requires SSL and uses forms authentication. When I create a dummy site in VS2008 and try to add a service reference, I get the following: There was an error downloading [URL]. The request failed with HTTP status 403: Forbidden. Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: [URL]. The remote server returned an unexpected response: (405) Method Not Allowed. The remote server returned an error: (405) Method Not Allowed. If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.
I have a asp.net MVC web application that uses t4 mvc , Jquery for validation / Ajax and CSS file for styling. On the dev machine (my pc) the application works fine as expected. However on the production server the css styling and jquery do not work. I use code like:
to include the JavaScript and css files in the views on the master page, the paths are generated correctly (I can see this from the source created )but the site will not render correctly. In fire bug the net tab tells me that the CSS and JavaScript files are found and the IIS server returns a 302 code. I am using a new production server 2008 server IIS7 (fresh build) with .net 4 installed. Is there anything I could be missing on the server?
I was expecting a parameter will become a empty string value if the parameter is missing, but it turn out to be null. have I done it wrong for the optional parameter?
i am using Intelligencia.UrlRewriter on my website and it works fine on my development machine, i tryed to deploy on IIS6 and i get this error:
The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.Please try the following: Make sure that the Web site address displayed in the address bar of your browser is spelled and formatted correctly. If you reached this page by clicking a link, contact the Web site administrator to alert them that the link is incorrectly formatted. Click the Back button to try another link. HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found.
Internet Information Services (IIS) Technical Information (for support personnel)
Go to Microsoft Product Support Services and perform a title search for the words HTTP and 404. Open IIS Help, which is accessible in IIS Manager (inetmgr), and search for topics titled Web Site Setup, Common Administrative Tasks, and About Custom Error Messages. this is the url that throws the error. [URL] this is the working url that is being rewriten to the above one. [URL]
Im trying to generate a service based on the wsdls ive been given hitting svcutil directly.. try as I might I cannot get it to export everything correctly.. it ends up not including chunks of info from the wsdl files..
I have an ASMX Web Service set up to use the HTTP GET method. Simple methods which take basic String and Int parameters are working ok, and I can call MyService.asmx/MethodName?Param=Value and get a response back in XML.
However, when I have a method which has a nullable Int (i.e. int?), I get this error:
< Method Name > Web Service method name is not valid.
The error message is confusing, as the method does exist, just not in the GET scope. I presume this is because a nullable type is too complex to be passed via the URL, but I can't find any documentation or SO posts on this.
I appreciate that complex types like Lists or custom classes etc will not work using GET, but I would have assumed that a simple nullable int or nullable datetime could be handled natively, simply by detecting whether it was omitted from the URL. Guess it's not that simple!
I have a simple web service that isn't working with a standard jQuery call. The code is below. The jQuery will execute and succeed, but on debugging, the service argument is always null. I've had it separated as 4 string params in a json string and that didn't work either. I must be missing something on the config side, but I can tell what it is.
how to write a function in a web service to upload a file, like a .csv, to SQL Server.
The idea would be to upload the file via an interface built in Flex, send it to the server, and insert the record in SQL Server. My problem is that I don't know how the function should look like:
Lets say I have a web service installed on ServerA. I also have a web application hosted on ServerB, completely different domain from ServerA. That web application contains a web reference to ServerA's web service, so consumes it. What happens if the WAN connection between ServerA and ServerB goes down, for whatever reason? I'm not clear if, once the web method is coded into the consuming application, that the server hosting the service has to be constantly available or not.
I am consuming a Web service passing it an XML string. The WS is querying a SQL Databse and returns an XML string. It all works fine from within Visual Studio 2010. Running the website from the browser, I receive the following error when calling ws.method "RQ.ProcessRequest(XMLOut, XMLIn)":
INNER EXCEPTION: System.Exception: The login failed when connecting to SQL Server SOMTSNAV01
[Code]....
Is there some additional credentials I need to pass to the WS? Is there anything that needs to be done on th WS side to ensure login does not fail? Ideas anyone?
I have to keep a datacontext alive in a WCF service. This object is created on every call to the service, by the way decreasing performance. How could I keep this object alive with WCF.
i have run one program in host server at a particular interval (lets say in each & every 1 hour) by using web service. but on my server web service stops automatically after 2 or 3 hour.
I have an Asp.net 3.5 xml web service that I created using the file new website within Visual Studio 2008. I can install and run the web service on a remote server using a web setup project after adding the necessary entries to the web.config file. The problem currently is that the xml web service needs to be configured to use a domain name and not a server name. My coworker has not been able to configure the virtual directory to use a domain name and work successfully. The web service returns a site under construction error.
I have a web application in ASP.NET 4.0. I've added an asmx service, primarily as a source for the autocomplete extender's lookup values.
When I debug on my machine locally, everything works fine. However, when I deploy the web application to IIS 7.5, I get a HTTP 404 response when trying to send data to the service.
I am able to browse to the service definition, see the available operations. Tellingly, however, when I use the test pages to test the service using POST, I receive an HTTP 404 again.
I'm not sure what is going on. I did create the asmx file within my web application and it is deployed in the virtual directory of my otherwise working production application. Is there an issue with the .asmx file being deployed in the same virtual directory, perhaps?
I am trying to post data from vb.net application to web service asmx that is located on server! For posting data from vb.net application I am using this code:
Public Function Post(ByVal url As String, ByVal data As String) As String Dim vystup As String = Nothing Try 'Our postvars Dim buffer As Byte() = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(data) 'Initialisation, we use localhost, change if appliable Dim WebReq As HttpWebRequest = DirectCast(WebRequest.Create(url), HttpWebRequest) 'Our method is post, otherwise the buffer (postvars) would be useless WebReq.Method = "POST" 'We use form contentType, for the postvars. WebReq.ContentType = "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" 'The length of the buffer (postvars) is used as contentlength. WebReq.ContentLength = buffer.Length 'We open a stream for writing the postvars Dim PostData As Stream = WebReq.GetRequestStream() 'Now we write, and afterwards, we close. Closing is always important! PostData.Write(buffer, 0, buffer.Length) PostData.Close() 'Get the response handle, we have no true response yet! Dim WebResp As HttpWebResponse = DirectCast(WebReq.GetResponse(), HttpWebResponse) 'Let's show some information about the response Console.WriteLine(WebResp.StatusCode) Console.WriteLine(WebResp.Server) 'Now, we read the response (the string), and output it. Dim Answer As Stream = WebResp.GetResponseStream() Dim _Answer As New StreamReader(Answer) 'Congratulations, you just requested your first POST page, you 'can now start logging into most login forms, with your application 'Or other examples. vystup = _Answer.ReadToEnd() Catch ex As Exception MessageBox.Show(ex.Message) End Try Return vystup.Trim() & vbLf End Function
