    Webservices - How to

    Hi,

    First of all I don't know if this is the right section to post, please move the thread if necessary.

    In my project, I want to insert, modify and delete nodes from a Flash movie, so I think the WebService approach is the one which suits better. If not, please tell me, because I'm a newbie with umbraco (also a PHP guy into a .NET world).

    So I've enabled webservices in umbracoSettings.config, downloaded the corresponding dll file from another thread (because it was missing in the initial umbraco download) and now I can browse the /umbraco/webservices/api/DocumentService.asmx file correctly. 

    Now when I make a call to /umbraco/webservices/api/DocumentService.asmx/UserHasAccess with the username and password parameters, it returns true. But when I try with other methods like create or update, it's giving me a System.InvalidOperationException: Web service method name is not valid error.

    Any help with this?

    By the way, I am running umbraco 4.5.2

    Hi Manuel,

    Strange that the 'create' and 'update' doesn't work.  Do you know if any of the other web-service methods work? e.g. 'UserAuthenticates', 'read' or 'readList'?

    Cheers, Lee.

    Hi Lee, thanks for your answer.

    I've tried all methods with the following result (now just browsing, not making POST calls):

    • UserAuthenticates: gives the error.
    • UserHasAccess: missing username parameter.
    • WebservicesEnabled: returns true.
    • read: missing id parameter.
    • readList: missing parentid parameter.
    • delete: missing id parameter.
    • update: gives the error.
    • create: gives the error.
    The IIS site for this is using .NET version 2.0.50727. Maybe the error is because of this, but I have another umbraco installed in my own machine also, running .NET 4.0 and is giving me the error with every method of the webservice. 
    Please note that I'm not a .NET expert and it could be a newbie mistake by my side, so consider all weird possibilities :D
