Newlook support for Web Services is provided via the Web Service methods. These methods allow a script to call a web service, pass the arguments required to the service and then accept the return value from the service.
If you prefer working with the macro editor, there are equivalent Web Service actions, WebCall action, WebDescription action and WebDeclare action.
The Web Services Description window can be used to view details of Web Services that are described in WSDL files. Two views are available: simple and advanced. The Simple view displays basic details required to call the service from Newlook. Advanced view will provide a larger set of information including some details of internal encoding and structures.
Before any Web Service can be executed, the service must first be described. This can be done with either the WebDeclare or WebDescription method. WebDescription is used where the WSDL description is available and the web service does not use structures in the arguments or return value.
If the web service uses structures or the WSDL is unavailable then WebDeclare must be used to define the Web Service.
Once the service has been described, the WebCall action is used to execute the service.
