Hi All,
As promised, here is an example of how to retrieve data from a simple SOAP Web Service.
It is using SoapApi from webservicespros.com, who provides a number of free and open web services to use as tests.
The program only use GetProduct. It is possible to add, update and delete products as well. Just add the needed code. You'll easily see how, by studying the code.
The issues I had, was being unable to use MSXML, or at least, the program at runtime complained it could not find MSXML (MSXML not installed!). Reading that I believed I needed to find a MSXML X.something to install, but the last public MSXML version is 6.x for Windows XP Sp3 and it will not install under Win 10 :-(
After searching a lot I found a way to use OmniXml instead and that made it work, as you can see above. Later Claudio, as you also can read above, told me it was just a question of setting ServerController.ComInitialize to ciNormal instead of ciNone to make it work with MSXML. Claudio is right and it works with ciMultiThreaded as well.
I have uploaded the TestSoap program as source code you will need to compile your self. I used Delphi 10.3.2 Rio and IW 15.1.5, but I suppose it is fairly standard and will work on most combinations of Delphi and IW.
If you need it, I'm happy to provide it and hope you will learn from it. And if you already know how to, please feel free to comment and I hope I can learn from your.
Regards
Soren
