AutoFill Vbscript Webservice Call

Hi,

We are currently trying to configure a vbscript for an Auto Fill Keyword set that instead of connecting directly to a db for the values would retrieve this values through a web service call that would send and receive the parameters and the results in an XML file, has anyone done this before? is it possible to do this? If someone has done this and can provide an example it will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Kahlil

Hey Kahlil, Yes it is possible to call a web service from VBScript. You would need to use XMLHTTP object or something similar. You should be able to find a number of online resources to help you with this. I would post a sample but I dont have one handy. if the web service is .NET you can just call into the method and have the method return the information back to you and use that to populate the other keywords.

So it would be XMLHTTP to call the web service passing necessary parameters and returning the keyset(s).

Automation API to get \ set the keywords.

Hello Kahlil

Is totally possible you need to use the following Objects:

oXMLDoc 
oXMLHTTP
