TestComplete: web service communication.

Alexei,



Thank you, your post was very useful for me.

I wrote the function based on post http://smartbear.com/forums/f81/t65754/testing-curl-webservices to send the request to REST Web Service. Here's the code:



function send (objJSON) {



var XmlHttpRequest = Sys["OleObject"]("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP");

var method = "POST";

var URL = "http://192.168.125.27:8000/GetRows";



XmlHttpRequest.open(method, URL, false);

XmlHttpRequest.setRequestHeader("Content-Type", "json");

XmlHttpRequest.send(objJSON);

//XmlHttpRequest.responseText returns JSON object

try {

return XmlHttpRequest.responseText;

}

catch (e) {

return "Error" + e;

}

}



ActiveXObject("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0"); and Sys["OleObject"]("MSXML2.XMLHTTP.3.0"); did not work, the TC said "The system cannot locate the resource specified." (msxml3.dll). I found topic about this issue and it works great for me:

I send the JSON object as a string in the body of the send() method:



objJSON = "{\"query\":\"select * from customer\"}"



And here I found that testcomplete can operate with the JSON objects by very simple way:

Note: I use testcomplete 7.52
