Hi There,

 

I have an established SOAP web service that prvides various information from LOB systems throughout the organisation. The web service returns 2 types: string or XML dataset. When testing the the string return types in the service object tool everyhting works as expected, however, when invoking a web method that returns an XML dataset I get garbage back.

I have a call open with K2 at athe moment but I;m not making much progress. I have heard that I might need to define the XML schema for the XML dataset but I have no idea where I am meant to doing this.

 

Ultimately I am trying to populate a drop down list in a smart form with the data returned for from this web method. If any one has had this issue with XML web services and K2 please get in touch.

 

Thanks

This issue was caused by the fact that that the dataset returned was not compatible with the K2 Smart Object Return container. We had to recompile the web service as a .Net 4 project and and implement it onto a host running on a .Net 4 apppool . After doing this the Smart Object Service tester tool was returning legible strings.

To summarise, K2 Smart Object is expecting a .Net 4.0.0.0 dataset and will not work if a .Net 2 dataset is returned. 

Thanks to all those who looked at this
