Web Service Post to another

[LisaConsult]

I have 2 web services and they are on different servers. I am supposed to
POST a serialized XML document from one site to the other. I've looked
around, but I'm totally confused. Can anyone provide a concrete example of
how to send it and then on the other side, how does the other service receive
it? Thanks.

Web Service A -> Web Service B would be coded no differently than any client
to Web Service B. You add a Web Reference in Service A to the Service B,
then you can use it's methods.

This walkthrough is using a windows forms client, but the process would be
the same from your Web Service A.

a version 9/2008 link, but this seems to still apply).

Hi Lisa,

From your description, what you want to do is using webservice webmethod to
transfer some XML document(contains seralized objects) ,correct?

Based on my experience, since webservice message itself is of XML document.
You need to take care when passing XML format text in your webmethod as
parameter. The recommend approach in .NET is as below:

*First you should define the parameter(which will contains the XML document
data) as XmlDocument type. Do not declare it as a simple String type, that
will cause problem.

* Then, you can just pass the XML data as a xmlDocument into the webmethod
parameter when invoke the webmethod.
