While calling an action we are supposed to make a call to Soap service.

msdn.microsoft.com/.../gg594434.aspx

function GetClientUrl() {
    if (typeof Xrm.Page.context == "object") {
        clientUrl = Xrm.Page.context.getClientUrl();
    }
    var ServicePath = "/XRMServices/2011/Organization.svc/web";
    return clientUrl + ServicePath;
}

var req = new XMLHttpRequest();
    req.open("POST", GetClientUrl(), false)
    req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/xml, text/xml, */*");
    req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");
    req.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "schemas.microsoft.com/.../Execute");
    req.send(requestXML);

when i open a Soap URL in browser(receive from function GetClientUrl) i get an error Htpp 400- bad request. Which Url need to used to make soap call.

Thanks.

"Http 400 Bad request" means that the url was found, but something in the request was malformed.

What is the content of the requestXML variable that you are sending in? There's likely something in there that's not properly formatted.

hi, thanks for reply. this is my complete function

function ExecuteActionCreateProject(entityId, entityName, requestName) {

// Creating the request XML for calling the Action

var requestXML = ""

requestXML += "<s:envelope xmlns:s=\"schemas.xmlsoap.org/.../envelope\">";

requestXML += " <s:body>";

requestXML += " <execute xmlns=\"schemas.microsoft.com/.../Services\" xmlns:i=\"www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema-instance\">";

requestXML += " <request xmlns:a=\"schemas.microsoft.com/.../Contracts\">";

requestXML += " <a:parameters xmlns:b=\"schemas.datacontract.org/.../System.Collections.Generic\">";

requestXML += " <a:keyvaluepairofstringanytype>";

requestXML += " <b:key>Target</b:key>";

requestXML += " <b:value i:type=\"a:EntityReference\">";

requestXML += " <a:id>" + entityId + "</a:id>";

requestXML += " <a:logicalname>" + entityName + "</a:logicalname>";

requestXML += " <a:name i:nil=\"true\">";

requestXML += " </a:name></b:value>";

requestXML += " </a:keyvaluepairofstringanytype>";

requestXML += " </a:parameters>";

requestXML += " <a:requestid i:nil=\"true\">";

requestXML += " <a:requestname>" + requestName + "</a:requestname>";

requestXML += " </a:requestid></request>";

requestXML += " </execute>";

requestXML += " </s:body>";

requestXML += "</s:envelope>";

var req = new XMLHttpRequest();

req.open("POST", GetClientUrl(), false)

req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/xml, text/xml, */*");

req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");

req.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "schemas.microsoft.com/.../Execute");

req.send(requestXML);

//Get the Response from the CRM Execute method

//var response = req.responseXML.xml;

req.onerror = function (e) {

alert(req.statusText);

};

if (req.status === 200) {

alert(req.responseText);

}

}

which is throwing me an error of 404 bad request.

For this line:

req.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "schemas.microsoft.com/.../Execute&quot);

Is the " part of your code or was it misformatted when you pasted it in here?

If it's also in your code then it should be replaced by a regular " quotation mark, otherwise I don't believe it will be interpreted right.

Alright

Have you checked the formatting for the entityId and entityName parameters?

The SOAP-services usually require the entityname to be in all lower case for instance (as opposed to the REST-services that requires them to be cased according to the schema-name). Not sure if this endpoint accepts an entityId guid that is enclosed with the brackets either. You could try strip the { } curly braces from the entityId-string if that is the case..

The issue was with Soap Envelope, which goes like this now after rectifying it.

function ExecuteActionCreateProject(EntityId,entityId, entityName, requestName) {

// Creating the request XML for calling the Action

var requestXML = ""

requestXML += "<s:Envelope xmlns:s=\"schemas.xmlsoap.org/.../envelope\">";

requestXML += " <s:Body>";

requestXML += " <Execute xmlns=\"schemas.microsoft.com/.../Services\" xmlns:i=\"www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema-instance\">";

requestXML += " <request xmlns:a=\"schemas.microsoft.com/.../Contracts\">";

requestXML += " <a:Parameters xmlns:b=\"schemas.datacontract.org/.../System.Collections.Generic\">";

requestXML += " <a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>";

requestXML += " <b:key>Target</b:key>";

requestXML += " <b:value i:type=\"a:EntityReference\">";

requestXML += " <a:Id>"+entityId+"</a:Id>";

requestXML += " <a:LogicalName>"+entityName+"</a:LogicalName>";

requestXML += " <a:Name i:nil=\"true\">";

requestXML += " </a:Name></b:value>";

requestXML += " </a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>";

requestXML += " <a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>";

requestXML += " <b:key>EntityId</b:key>";

requestXML += " <b:value i:type=\"c:string\" xmlns:c=\"www.w3.org/.../XMLSchema\">"+EntityId+"</b:value>";

requestXML += " </a:KeyValuePairOfstringanyType>";

requestXML += " </a:Parameters>";

requestXML += " <a:RequestId i:nil=\"true\">";

requestXML += " </a:RequestId>";

requestXML += " <a:RequestName>"+requestName+"</a:RequestName>";

requestXML += " </request>";

requestXML += " </Execute>";

requestXML += " </s:Body>";

requestXML += "</s:Envelope>";

var req = new XMLHttpRequest();

req.open("POST", GetClientUrl(), false)

req.setRequestHeader("Accept", "application/xml, text/xml, */*");

req.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "text/xml; charset=utf-8");

req.setRequestHeader("SOAPAction", "schemas.microsoft.com/.../Execute");

req.send(requestXML);

//Get the Response from the CRM Execute method

//var response = req.responseXML.xml;

}

}

Thanks
