Web Service wsdl URL as variable

Hi all,



Hopefully someone will be able to help me. I have a TestComplete project in JScript and I am trying to control the wsdl URL of a web service I have included in my Project.



Basically, I have the same web service hosted on two different servers, I am looking for an easy way to change between the two servers without having to go in and manually change the URL over each time.



I was trying to create a script based on the information in this post - http://smartbear.com/forums/f75/t77029/how-to-change-the-webservice-wsdl-url-by-script



but I'm having no luck with it.



Here is an example of what I've tried:



I have added two web services to my project with the names in the format 'WS_[IP]'

I have two variables added to my Project Suite - 'ServiceIP' which is a persistent variable of type string, with a default value of 'WS_[IP]'; and 'Service' which is a temporary variable of type Object.




  function WebServiceTest()


{


var testedServiceName;


testedServiceName = ProjectSuite.Variables.ServiceIP;


ProjectSuite.Variables.Service = eval(testedServiceName);


ProjectSuite.Variables.Service.SendMessage(XML.SendMessage);


XML.SendMessageResponse.Check(ProjectSuite.Variables.Service);


  }



I'm getting a runtime error: 'ProjectSuite.Variables.Service is null or not an object' on the second last line.



Any help would be much appreciated!

    Hi Justine,



    I think that instead of:

    ProjectSuite.Variables.Service = eval(testedServiceName);



    you should try this:

    ProjectSuite.Variables.Service = eval('WebServices.' + testedServiceName);



    I.e. evaluated expression should be a string with the value like this (without quotes):

    'WebServices.WS_[IP]'



    Does this help?
