Hello,

I am a newbie with soap and try to validate a european VAT number, here is my code

oSoap = CREATEOBJECT("wwSoap")

oSoap.nHttpConnectTimeout = 5
oSoap.lParseReturnedObjects = .T.

lcWSDL = "http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl"

loSDL = oSoap.ParseServiceWSDL(lcWSDL, .T.)

oSoap.AddParameter("RESET")

oSoap.AddParameter("countryCode","BE")
oSoap.AddParameter("vatNumber","0425692814")

lvResult = oSoap.CallWSDLMethod("checkVat",loSDL) 

and the checkVat description in wsdl

<xsd:element name="checkVat">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="countryCode" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="vatNumber" type="xsd:string"/>
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>

Tks in advance for your help The soap.cErrorMsg is

Unexpected wrapper element {urn:ec.europa.eu:taxud:vies:services:checkVat}checkVat found.

Expected {urn:ec.europa.eu:taxud:vies:services:checkVat:types}checkVat.

wwSoap is no longer supported and hasn't been for some time. So you're pretty much on your own with this unfortunately beyond what's in the docs.

• Class wwSoap (deprecated)

It's been too long since I've worked with this to even remember all the crazy details to tweak SOAP requests that don't just work right out of the gate...
