    Call external webservice with a parameter

    I have two webservices - one with a parameter and one without.

    The latter I can call with

    <xsl:variable name="xmlnodes" select="umbraco.library:GetXmlDocumentByUrl('http://www.mydomain.com/Service.asmx/ShowWebNews')"/>

    The other one takes a paramter (an ID on a specific web news). How do I call it from XSLT? Is I even possible?

    Thank you :-)

    Hi Grit,

    The "GetXmlDocumentByUrl" function tries to get XML from an URL, using HTTP GET.  This approach wouldn't work with a SOAP-based web-service, which is what I believe you are trying to use.

    As far as I'm aware, the only way you would be able to retrieve the data from a SOAP web-service in XSLT is to write a custom XSLT extension.

    There should be some articles on it on the wiki (and/or Google), but I can't find those at the moment.

    Cheers, Lee.

    Thank you for your answer.

    I will try to make an user control, that presents the data instead. I'm not ready to try custom XSLT extensions.
