How to consume SOAP Siebel webservices in .net - c#

Hi I am developing web application which contains Siebel web service integration. All request/response cycle will take place through XML. It is basically SOAP service. I do not have idea on siebel and soap xml. I am trying to integrate siebel service in WebAPi2. Client have provided me request and response and created sample service to test. I am able to invoke siebel service in fidler. In my webapi2 i want to integrate service.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:rol="Some Url">
<soapenv:Header/>
<soapenv:Body>
<rol:process>
<rol:IDType>National Id</rol:IDType>
<rol:Type>Customer</rol:Type>
// other parametrs
</rol:process>
</soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>
Below is the response
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing">

<SIEBEL_ERRROR_MESSAGE/>
</processResponse>
</env:Body>
</env:Envelope>)
Also they have provided Public url to hit the API.
As i do not know Siebel integration in .Net and i did not find any suitable tutorial I am expecting some help from here. Any help/suggestion i get here highly appreciated. Thank you.

Although #AJPerez is correct that this is not really a Siebel issue, I would like to recommend you request for the WSDL (Web Service Definition file) from which your example message is generated. Without it you'll find it hard to use the generic .NET tutorials regarding web services.
.NET has no doubt a generator that takes a WSDL as input and generates a set of classes and functions for you to use.

OcppV1.5 over Soap Error: Action does not exist

i am currently building a Client to communicate with a Gateway of a Charge Point.
The communication is build with OcppV1.5 over Soap & Http.
The Server doesn't accept my request. I get a Http Response 500 with the Error Reason:
"XML Request is not well formed, Action does not exist."
I looked into the wsdl files but I just don't understand why it doesn't accept my action.
My Request looks something like this:
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:wsa="https://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing" xmlns:cs="urn://Ocpp/Cp/2012/06/">
<SOAP-ENV:Header>
<cs:chargeBoxIdentity>0000.0000</cs:chargeBoxIdentity>
<wsa:From>
<wsa:Address>http://000.000.000.000:0000</wsa:Address>
</wsa:From>
<wsa:To>http://000.000.000.001:0001</wsa:To>
<wsa:Action>/ChangeConfiguration</wsa:Action>
<wsa:MessageID>00000.000000000000</wsa:MessageID>
</SOAP-ENV:Header>
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<cs:changeConfigurationRequest>
<cs:key>MeterValueSampleInterval</cs:key>
<cs:value>60</cs:value>
</cs:changeConfigurationRequest>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
Update:
As Bogdan suggested I tried to send the same message using SoapUi and it worked. The generated Request from SoapUi looks like this:
<soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" xmlns:ns="urn://Ocpp/Cp/2012/06/">
<soap:Header xmlns:wsa="http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing">
<ns:chargeBoxIdentity>000000.00000</ns:chargeBoxIdentity>
<wsa:Action>/ChangeConfiguration</wsa:Action>
<wsa:ReplyTo>
<wsa:Address>http://000.000.000.000:0000</wsa:Address>
</wsa:ReplyTo>
<wsa:MessageID>uuid:00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000</wsa:MessageID>
<wsa:To>http://000.000.000.000:00000/</wsa:To>
</soap:Header>
<soap:Body>
<ns:changeConfigurationRequest>
<ns:key>MeterValueSampleInterval</ns:key>
<ns:value>300</ns:value>
</ns:changeConfigurationRequest>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
It's hard to tell from what you posted why you are getting an error, so I can only add some information that can hopefully allow you to troubleshoot the issue.
Your message has WS-Addressing headers, <wsa:Action> being one of them. The value of this field should be specified in the WSDL if your WSDL also includes WS-Addressing Metadata information, or should be specified in the documentation of the web service you are invoking. Your error message "XML Request is not well formed, Action does not exist" seems to indicate that there might be an issue with this field, but there is another action that SOAP services have which is a SOAP action. I asked about it in the comment above to make sure it's eliminated as a source of problems. In SOAP 1.1 it's called SOAPAction and is a separate HTTP header, while in SOAP 1.2 it's an action parameter on the HTTP Content-Type header. Based on the http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope namespace, you have a SOAP 1.2 message.
With these explanations layed out, I suggest you take the WSDL and feed it to SoapUI who can generate sample requests that you can use to invoke the web service. If the WSDL also contains WS-Addressing Metadata, SoapUI should be able to pick it up and help you fill in the values you need. If not, look again through the WSDL for Action elements (make sure you differentiate between the SOAP Action and the WS-Addressing Action using their XML namespaces) or through the service documentation.
Once you get a succesfull call using SoapUI, then try to duplicate it with your code. At that point you can again use SoapUI to troubleshoot things and inspect your code built message to see it resembles the one you can successfully send with SoapUI.
Hope this helps get you closer to a resolution.

Calling soap with C# script in a SSIS Script Task

Well that's a mouthful for a title. Let me start out by saying that I am not a programming per se but a DBA. I can write some MSSQL query with the best of them but my knowledge of C# is pretty limited. I have a piece of software that I need to communicate with via web services to push some data to all within the constraints of SQL Server Integration Services. I can read from the DB directly but I can not write to it. I'm querying some data, emailing that data, and I need to write back to the software for reach record we emailed through web services. The WSDL is available but like I said, zero knowledge of C#. I was able to build a SOAP envelope through SOAPUI that works perfectly and I would like to figure out a way call SOAP using a C# script in my SSIS package.
I have also tried to run this in the Web Service Task in SSIS and my WSDL file only gives me 4 methods when I should have close to a hundred. It would be easier there to sort out but I understand there are some limitations with the SSIS Web Service Task.
I have seen this thread: Client to send SOAP request and received response
Which unfortunately does not work for me when I copy and paste my SOAP and header into the code. To throw another wrench this thing, this is a protected web services which requires 3 credentials to have a token issued for passing data back and forth. A side question is can I run multiple SOAP calls (first to authenticate, then to push my data into the web service) through a C# script?
Here was my second soap call after getting the token that I was able to run:
<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"xmlns:v2="http://www.WSAPI.AMS360.com/v2.0">
<soapenv:Header>
<v2:WSAPIAuthToken>

XSD Namespace with different client

I have developed a web service in ASP.NET using C#. One of its web methods returns a complex type created from an xsd schema file using the xsd command.
Many client devices use this web services without a problem. WindowsMobile, PC. All are .Net applications.
Now one VB6 client needs to use this web service using SOAP Toolkit 3.0 and he has a problem probably due to the for different namespaces in the serialized xml data.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<GetProductionDataMachineryResponse xmlns="http://myFactory.it/">
<GetProductionDataMachineryResult xmlns="http://tempuri.org/XMLSchemaData.xsd">
<ResultRequest>Ok or No Data Found </ResultRequest>
.....
</GetProductionDataMachineryResult>
</GetProductionDataMachineryResponse>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
If I remove the following annotations in the .cs file
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlTypeAttribute(Namespace="http://tempuri.org/XMLSchemaData.xsd")]
[System.Xml.Serialization.XmlRootAttribute(Namespace="http://tempuri.org/XMLSchemaData.xsd", IsNullable=false)]
the VB6 client works fine. But the other clients need to update the web reference.
There are over 80 other clients so this is not an attractive option.
Is there a way to get this to work with the new client without breaking the old ones?

Response from ASMX

We have an old bit of code, ASMX WebService, that we have lost the source to. I am trying to replicate the behavior of this so we can take control of it once again without affecting any of the clients.
I have created a class that mimics the behavior and properties of the response, and a soap request returns as follows
<soap:Body>
<LoginResponse>
<LoginResult>
<UserId>string</UserId>
<Password>string</Password>
</LoginResult>
</LoginResponse>
Now the service I am trying to replicate returns
<soap:Body>
<LoginRS xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
<UserId>string</UserId>
<Password>Password</Password>
</LoginRS>
</soap:Body>
Now LoginRS is the name of the class I have made. My question is how do I make my response look like the second response.
I am replicating this in c# ASMX and am using the following
[WebMethod(MessageName="Login")]
public LoginRS Login(string password, string userId)
Thanks for you time.
If your objective is to reverse engineer the service, and if the service dll is with you, you can use .NET Reflector (google it) to read the dll and provide you the exact source code.

SOAP xml client - using Visual Studio 2010 c# - how?

I'm new to .NET world, yet have to use VStudio C# 2010 (.NET 4.0) to produce a client that requests data from a web service in SOAP Xml fashion. I've searched here for answers but got confused even more. MSDN says that "Building XML Web Service Clients" is legacy for .NET 4.0, i.e. WSDL is legacy. Use "WCF" instead, they say.
In WCF i got lost - too much and too vague. It must be simpler then that...
And all examples that i could find on the web - they all use WSDL, "the legacy".
Here are the definitions of the service i need to use in order to obtain the data from the web service:
request:
POST /catalog.asmx HTTP/1.1
Host: www.somewebsite.com
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
SOAPAction: "https://www.somewebsite.com/KeywordSearch"
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
<KeywordSearch xmlns="https://www.somewebsite.com/">
<searchTerm>string</searchTerm>
<resultsReturned>int</resultsReturned>
</KeywordSearch>
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
Response:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: length
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<soap:Envelope xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
<soap:Body>
...some stuff...
</soap:Body>
</soap:Envelope>
So, what is the right, or at least most logical way to built this simple client? What tools/libraries/methodologies would you suggest to newbie (assuming VS 2010 C#, .NET 4.0 environment)?
If you have a WSDL/XSD to describe that service, or if you can navigate to an URL to grab that metadata, then WCF with basicHttpBinding would probably be your best bet. WSDL is definitely not "legacy" - if anything is legacy, then it's ASP.NET/ASMX webservices.
Given a WSDL/XSD or a URL where you can connect to, just do an Add Service Reference from within Visual Studio, and you should be up and running calling your WCF service in no time - trust me! You don't need to know all of WCF just to call a simple SOAP web service.... also, with WCF 4.0, lots of things - especially configuration - have been vastly improved and simplified.
As for resoures: there's the MSDN WCF Developer Center which has everything from beginner's tutorials to articles and sample code.
Also, check out the screen cast library up on MSDN for some really useful, 10-15 minute chunks of information on just about any topic related to WCF you might be interested in.
