Testing web services with TestComplete is obsolete. We recommend that you use ReadyAPI, another SmartBear's automated testing tool for SOAP and REST web services. If needed, you can run ReadyAPI tests from TestComplete. |
Description
Use this property to obtain access to the contents of the last SOAP response that was received from the tested web service that corresponds to the WebServiceObj object. The property returns an object implementing the IXMLDOMDocument interface (SOAP uses XML and the response contents match the DOM model). You can use methods and properties of this object to parse the request contents. For instance, you can use the object to explore the structure of response data. Also, you can use this object to obtain values of the method’s out parameters in JavaScript, JScript, Python, C#Script and C++Script code (these languages do not support out parameters, so you cannot check the parameter values for VBScript or DelphiScript code).
Declaration
WebServiceObj.LastResponse
| Read-Only Property | IXMLDOMDocument object |
| WebServiceObj | An expression, variable or parameter that specifies a reference to a WebService object | |||
Applies To
The property is applied to the following object:
Property Value
An object implementing the IXMLDOMDocument interface.
Remarks
For information on methods and properties of the IXMLDOMDocument interface and about DOM, see the XML Core Services and Document Object Model article in the MSDN library.
Example
The following code obtains the last web service response, parses it and obtains the object that holds the data returned by the specified web service method. Then it posts the returned data to the log.
JavaScript, JScript
{
var WebServiceInfo, method, Str, LastResponse, Response;
// Obtains the WebServiceInfo object
WebServiceInfo = WebServices.CreateWebServiceInfoFromItem("SampleWebService");
// Specifies the method whose response will be obtained
method = "SetSampleObject";
…
// Obtains the last web service response
LastResponse = WebServices.SampleWebService.LastResponse;
// Parses the response content
Response = WebServiceInfo.ParseResponse(method, LastResponse);
// Posts the data returned by the web service method
Log.Message(Response.SetSampleObjectResult);
…
}
Python
def WebServiceResponseDemo():
# Obtains the WebServiceInfo object
WebServiceInfo = WebServices.CreateWebServiceInfoFromItem("SampleWebService")
# Specifies the method whose response will be obtained
method = "SetSampleObject"
# ...
# Obtains the last web service response
LastResponse = WebServices.SampleWebService.LastResponse
# Parses the response content
Response = WebServiceInfo.ParseResponse(method, LastResponse)
# Posts the data returned by the web service method
Log.Message(Response.SetSampleObjectResult)
# ...VBScript
Dim WebServiceInfo, method, Str, LastResponse, Response
' Obtains the WebServiceInfo object
Set WebServiceInfo = WebServices.CreateWebServiceInfoFromItem("SampleWebService")
' Specifies the method whose response will be obtained
method = "SetSampleObject"
…
' Obtains the last web service response
Set LastResponse = WebServices.SampleWebService.LastResponse
' Parses the response content
Set Response = WebServiceInfo.ParseResponse(method, LastResponse)
' Posts the data returned by the web service method
Log.Message(Response.SetSampleObjectResult)
…
End Sub
DelphiScript
var
WebServiceInfo, method, Str, LastResponse, Response;
begin
// Obtains the WebServiceInfo object
WebServiceInfo := WebServices.CreateWebServiceInfoFromItem('SampleWebService');
// Specifies the method whose response will be obtained
method := 'SetSampleObject';
…
// Obtains the last web service response
LastResponse := WebServices.SampleWebService.LastResponse;
// Parses the response content
Response := WebServiceInfo.ParseResponse(method, LastResponse);
// Posts the data returned by the web service method
Log.Message(Response.SetSampleObjectResult);
…
end;
C++Script, C#Script
{
var WebServiceInfo, method, Str, LastResponse, Response;
// Obtains the WebServiceInfo object
WebServiceInfo = WebServices["CreateWebServiceInfoFromItem"]("SampleWebService");
// Specifies the method whose response will be obtained
method = "SetSampleObject";
…
// Obtains the last web service response
LastResponse = WebServices["SampleWebService"]["LastResponse"];
// Parses the response content
Response = WebServiceInfo["ParseResponse"](method, LastResponse);
// Posts the data returned by the web service method
Log["Message"](Response["SetSampleObjectResult"]);
