Web Services and QTP- Part 3: Adding Web Service Test Object

by Ankur Jain | Last Updated On Aug 7, 2014 | Advanced Concepts, Web Services | 15 comments

Apart from Web Services Testing Wizard we discussed in last part, let’s find out what are other possible ways to work with Web services in QTP. What about adding Web services objects directly into object repository and use the test object to add steps in test or component.

QTP provides Web Service Add Object Wizard which helps you to add the test object into the repository. These web service test object behaves same as any other test objects while creating the steps in test i.e. we can access all its operations in keyword view or in expert view.

To open the Add object Wizard click the object repository at toolbar or select Resources > Object Repository. Select Object > Web Service Add Object Wizard. The Web Service Add Object Wizard opens to show the Specify WSDL for Scanning screen.

Specify the URL for your WSDL as you did at Web Service Test Wizard and click Next. It will now show you the select service screen. Here you can select the service and Port from the available list. And click finish.

Close the Object Repository and the test object is now ready to use in your test. To use a web service test object use ‘WebService(<Test Object>), and you can access any of the operations available. Accessing Web service Test Object in test

so as of now, we have seen that we add a test object in the repository and can do further processing. Let’s now see how can test a web service without adding the test object in the repository.

A web service test object requires three main description properties to invoke a method. Which are –

WSDL
Service and
Port

Refer object repository for already added test object Test Object Details

if we can define these in the script we will be able to access the methods of web services.

WebService(“wsdl:=<your wsdl>”,”service:=<your service>”,”port:=<your port>”)

So in order to invoke the method CelsiusToFahrenheit from the WSDL used in earlier parts you can have the statement in the script as –

Desc1 = &quot;wsdl:=http://www.w3schools.com/webservices/tempconvert.asmx?wsdl&quot;
Desc2 = &quot;service:=TempConvert&quot;
Desc3 = &quot;port:=TempConvertSoap&quot;
' Call to the WebService
Fahrenheitval = WebService(Desc1, Desc2, Desc3).CelsiusToFahrenheit(&quot;25&quot;)
msgbox Fahrenheitval

Which gives you the required output as 77.

All the other available operations can be carried out with this approach.

Following code is “Ram Ban” you can use it any where to get the response from any WSDL

Set xmlDoc=CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
xml_path="C:\Temp\Test.xml"

Set xmlObj = XMLUtil.CreateXML() 
Set  objXML = XMLUtil.CreateXMLFromFile(xml_path)
strXML=objXML.ToString 'convert the xml into string as the send request method uses string as argument

Set WinHttpReq = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1")   ''Create Object of WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1

WinHttpReq.SetTimeouts 30000, 30000, 30000, 30000  'Configure timeouts in milliseconds (Resolve, Connect, Send, Receive).

WinHttpReq.Open "POST", "http://............(url) which is end point", False  'Open [POST] connection to Web Service via WinHttpRequest object.

'==============Start :- 'Configure HTTP request header properties.

WinHttpReq.SetRequestHeader "Content-Type", "text/xml;charset=utf-8"
WinHttpReq.SetRequestHeader "Accept", "text/xml, multipart/related, text/html, image/gif, image/jpeg, *; q=.2, */*; q=.2"
WinHttpReq.SetRequestHeader "Content-Transfer-Encoding", "binary"
WinHttpReq.SetRequestHeader "Connection", "keep-alive"
WinHttpReq.SetRequestHeader "SOAPAction", "write you soap action name here"
'==============End :- 'Configure HTTP request header properties.

'================= Start  :   -  Defining connection values.
HTTPREQUEST_SETCREDENTIALS_FOR_SERVER = 0
UserName = "test"
Password = "testing"
'================= End   :   -  Defining connection values.

'===================Start  :-  'Send connection authorization credentials.
WinHttpReq.SetCredentials UserName, Password, HTTPREQUEST_SETCREDENTIALS_FOR_SERVER
'===================End :-  'Send connection authorization credentials.

'=================== Start  :  -'Send request input as a properly formatted XML string.
WinHttpReq.Send(strXML)
'=================== End  :  -'Send request input as a properly formatted XML string.
'==========  Start  : - 'Reference response text 
sResponseText = CStr(WinHttpReq.ResponseText)
'==========  End  : - 'Reference response text 


xmlObj.Load (sResponseText) 'convert the string response into xml
xmlResponseFile="C:\Temp\Output.xml"
xmlObj.SaveFile (xmlResponseFile)

I am using following Webservice request.
```
"Set CreatePerson = WebService("OMPersonManagementService_2").CreatePerson(XMLWarehouse("Request"))"
```
I want to parameterize above request which replaces CreatePerson by a parameter ex: xyz then it looks like
```
"Set CreatePerson = WebService("OMPersonManagementService_2").xyz(XMLWarehouse("Request"))"
```
. If i submit above request iam getting the error which says there is no request type with name xyz.

Please let me know if there is any other way to parameterize this.

Hi All,
I tried using following code after adding the WSDL file through Webservices wizard
```
Dim ssr0XML,XMLstr 
Set ssr0XML = XMLUtil.CreateXMLFromFile("C:\Documents and Settings\user\Desktop\ip\Input.xml")
XMLstr = ssr0XML.ToString
' xyzGatewayExtnExport1_xyzGatewayExtnHttpService Web service object steps
LocalParameter("initiatexyzRequest") =WebService("xyzGatewayExtnExport1_xyzGat").initiatexyzRequest(XMLstr)
```
During execution I am getting following error:

The initiatexyzRequest operation call failed.
The .NET Framework 2.0 WSE 3.0 toolkit returned the following error:
Failed to create client’s proxy object.
Exception from: System
Invalid URI: The format of the URI could not be determined.
Line (6):
```
"LocalParameter("initiatexyzRequest") =WebService("xyzGatewayExtnExport1_xyzGat").initiatexyzRequest(XMLstr)". 
```
Please if anyone has faced such a issue and knows the solution please share it ..

Thanks,

Hi Ankur,
I have few doubts regardig Active MQ which are as follows:

Problem1:-
1) I have an automation project in which I am using quick test professional (QTP9.2).
2) It involves passing/receiving xml to/from system through JMS (as some step/s in test case).
3) We are using ActiveMQ as a JMS server.
4) QTP supports VB script, so can it be possible to communicate with JMS using normal VB script?
5) If not is there any other way to do that.

Problem2:-
1) I have heard of REST protocol which is supported by ActiveMQ and its a normal HTTP protocol.
(POST: to send and GET: to receive)
2) We can send an Http request using VB script and I have successfully done that.(i.e. sent an xml to queue)
```
Set g_objWinHttpRequest = CreateObject("WinHttp.WinHttpRequest.5.1") 'creat request object 
g_objWinHttpRequest.SetTimeouts 0, 0, 0, 0 'set request Timeout 
g_objWinHttpRequest.Open "POST", http://localhost:8161/demo/message/nameofQueue/type=queue&body=w_stringFomatedXml, false 'send post Request 
```
3) But while receiving an XML using get I am getting “full head error”
Reason might be:
1) GET request has limited size but my response xml is in range of 0.5 to 1 mb.
2) Also I am getting string formatted xml so its even bigger for a GET request to accommodate.

Can anyone please help me out with this? In terms of,
1) How to overcome “full head error”
2) Any other way of JMS and QTP integration (message type is strictly big strings formatted xmls)

Thanks & Regards
Rahul Garibe
