How to get IssuePriority items from Web Services

web-app

Hi,

First, I am using Gemini v2.03

I am trying to get a list of the IssuePriorityEN items from the web services in an ASP.NET application.  I tried to use the Gemini.asmx using the GetIssuePriorities call supplying the accesscode value and I get the following error:

Server was unable to process request. --> There was an error generating the XML document. --> The type CounterSoft.GeminiLib.IssuePriorityEN was not expected. Use the XmlInclude or SoapInclude attribute to specify types that are not known statically.

Here was the call I tried:

Dim gemini As GeminiService.GeminiWS = New GeminiService.GeminiWS()

Dim priorities() As GeminiService.IssuePriorityEN = gemini.GetIssuePriorities("ABC123")

I then tried to use the GeminiLookupsWS web service but I am unclear how to use WSE to authenticate and make this call using a web application.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

The attached sample shows how to use WSE. You will need WSE2.0 SP3 installed (for Gemini 2.0.x).

Thank you.  I had that before and was having trouble understanding it.  Do you have a straight ASP.NET solution using a web reference?

 

Thanks

You can not use a straight web reference as this is a WSE web service.

Thank you for your response.  I implemented the sample proxyhelper and xxxWS.cs classes in my web application and I was able to use the SetAuthenticationTokenOnAllServices method to authenticate and subsequently retrieve the values I was looking for.  Last question I have is if there is a way to pass the credentials from the user logged into my web application to the web service using DefaultCredentials instead of having to hard-code the username and password.  My web app is set up to use Integrated Authentication and impersonation and the System.Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity values are populate properly.

Also, on a side note, how would I retrieve custom field values from a custom lookup table once I know the customfieldID?

Thanks again.

If you want to use windows authentication, you will have to create a KerbosToken instead of UsernameToken in the proxy helper.

GetCustomFieldDefsForProject(projID) is the web method to use for getting the data for lookups.
