    How To Consume SharePoint Web Services?

    Reply Quote

    I am having problems with integrating SharePoint web services into a BEA web application.  I want to consume the SharePoint Web Services (for example, http://<sitename>/_vti_bin/Search.asmx).  I've generated a service control out of the WSDL, but when I execute any method, it responds with

    <faultcode>soap:Server</faultcode>
    <faultstring>Server was unable to process request. --> Object reference not set to an instance of an object.</faultstring>

    I've found tons of examples for consuming these from .NET and C#, but not from BEA.  It sounds like I need to instantiate the SharePoint object and pass in some Windows credentials.  I am using BEA 8.1.6 and WSS 2.0 / SPS 2003.  I watched the BEA online demo at http://dev2dev.bea.com/downloads/ExcelServer/workshop_vista.html but this is for much newer BEA and WSS/SPS versions.  Can it be done with my versions and if so how?
