RE: SOAPAction in http header

Jonathan,
SOAP submission is slated for XForms 1.1: See
http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/WD-xforms11-20041115/#SOAP
You might find some processors implementing the feature experimentally
in advance, so checking with your vendor might help.
Alternatively, if you can re-deploy your .NET Web Service with HTTP
support, which is describable in WSDL.

Subject: SOAPAction in http header



I'm trying to access a .net web-service with an XForm. The service
requires the use of SOAPAction: "" parameter in the http header. I have
tried (and failed) to get this to be output from an XForm with both
formsplayer 1.3 and novell. This is the submission I'm using:

<xf:submission id="submit1" ref="/" method="post"
action="http://localhost/XFormValidator/Service1.asmx"
mediatype="text/xml" omit-xml-declaration="no" replace="instance"
instance="results"/>

But this gives an internal server error, because the SOAPAction: ""
parameter is missing. 

How do you get control of the http header? Does anyone know of any
examples of using post method to consume a .net web service with an
XForm?

Cheers, 

Jon
