Hi,

when i call an api, the response of this call might sometimes result in a different namespaces, but the field names are still the same.

How to read the "errorDescription" field regardless if the namespace is SOAP-1 and ns4 OR if it's SOAP-2 and ns5?? how to do it in x++?

So i have now xmlDocument.loadXml(xml);
what to do next?

When the service response with a fault contract, the client library will thrown an exception. You can use the catch statement to get the exception object and then you can work with its properties such as Message.

Hi Martin,

I read the article, but i don't quite understand what i should do now to get the value inside the "error description" field regardless of how the response look like?

To give you a background of what i'm doing

I'm calling an api, where i'm filling the body of the request by creating an xml filled from d365 data.

Now this api call will produce a response, and i would like to take a value from that response and store in a field.

The link you gave me is for the response part right?

But can you give more explanation of what i should do exactly? More clear steps would be helpful

You normally shouldn't be working with raw SOAP messages at all. You should generate client classes and work with these classes, therefore the implementation details are dealt with for you. It seems that you've artificual created the problem by developing something that you shouldn't be developing, because it's already done and in better than what you've done by yourself.

To see the correct steps, check the documentation page Consume external web services, for instance. Of course, some knowledge of SOAP and WCF may be still needed, if you want to use non-default configuration.

Hi,

just to add to my question, the code I did here was to handle one response, but is there a way to handle both responses? is there a better way to write the code?

What i noticed is that errorXNode is filled correctly regardless if the response contains "SOAP-1 and ns4" or if it's "SOAP-2 and ns5". Even though the path specified in the selectSingleNode is SOAP-1 and ns4, how did that work? it only fails in getXMLElementValue where it's expecting ns5, but the code says ns4
