error in client for JobSubmit

Hi,

I've created a test harness below to test the Xpedite fax service. We only need to send faxes to individual clients, so the bulk-send or broadcasting functionality is not required by us. I get the error - Object reference not set to an instance of an object at the line 'message.Contents[0] = content;'. Could you please point out the error(s) in this code (I'm using C#.NET and have tried to adapt it from the VB sample).

Thanks,

Amita

There is a VB sample for fax here:

https://apiforums.easylink.com/content/vb-sample-jobsubmit-fax

Here is a snippet from that code

        ' Contents
        Dim content() As EMsgAPIJobSubmit200907.ContentPartType
        ReDim content(1)
        content(0) = New EMsgAPIJobSubmit200907.ContentPartType
        content(0).Item = "DocOne"
        content(0).Treatment = EMsgAPIJobSubmit200907.TreatmentType.body
        content(0).TreatmentSpecified = True

        content(1) = New EMsgAPIJobSubmit200907.ContentPartType
        content(1).Item = "DocTwo"
        content(1).Treatment = EMsgAPIJobSubmit200907.TreatmentType.attachment
        content(1).TreatmentSpecified = True

        ' Add the contents to the message
        message(0).Contents = content

The sample is functional code as is.

Which WSDLs am I supposed to import for this code? Currently I'm using only the JobSubmit WSDL. Is there any other WSDL that also needs to be imported?

The sample code uses a method 'ProcessResponse()' as in: 'success = ProcessResponse(XOA.ResponseValue) 'this just writes the status'. This cannot be compiled. Does it need some namespace or WSDL to be imported?

I've also updated the code (I no longer get the Object reference not set to an instance of an object error, but now the error is: 'The request failed with an empty response' at:

try
        {
            jobresult = xoa.JobSubmit(jobrequest);
        }
        catch (Exception ex)
        {

        }

Here is my updated code:

I have attached the ProcessResponse function. Your code is missing the URL:

'XOA.Url = GetRequestUrl()
XOA.Url = "https://messaging.easylink.com/soap/sync"
So it does not know where to submit to, that is why no response.

I'm trying to gather the status of a submitted job using JobSummaryRequest. I get parsing error at "jobsummaryresult = xoa2.JobSummary(jobsummaryrequest);". Please take a look at the code. How can I initialize the JobId for the JobSummaryRequest object?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

protected void btnFaxStatus_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        StringBuilder sb2 = new StringBuilder();
        jobSummary.XOA xoa2 = new jobSummary.XOA();
        jobSummary.Authentication auth2 = new jobSummary.Authentication();

        jobSummary.XDDSAuthType xddsauth2 = new jobSummary.XDDSAuthType();

        xddsauth2.RequesterID = "AU/MENULOG";
        xddsauth2.Password = "123456";
        auth2.XDDSAuth = xddsauth2;
        jobSummary.Request request = new jobSummary.Request();
        request.Authentication = auth2;

        request.ReceiverKey = "http://premconn.premiereconnect.com/JobSummary/2008/10";
        request.ResultRequired = jobSummary.RequiredType.yes;
        request.ResultRequiredSpecified = true;
        request.RequestID = "Test9";
        xoa2.RequestValue = request;
        xoa2.Url = "https://messaging.easylink.com/soap/sync";

        jobSummary.JobSummaryResult jobsummaryresult = new jobSummary.JobSummaryResult();
        jobSummary.StatusType jsr_status = new jobSummary.StatusType();
        jobSummary.JobSummaryDataType[] jobsummarydata = new jobSummary.JobSummaryDataType[1];
        jobsummarydata[0] = new jobSummary.JobSummaryDataType();
        jobSummary.JobSummaryRequest jobsummaryrequest = new jobSummary.JobSummaryRequest();
        //jobsummarydata[0].JobId.XDN = lblStatus.Text.ToString();
        //jobsummarydata[0].JobId.MRN = lblStatus3.Text.ToString();

        //jobsummaryrequest.SubmitId = lblStatus.Text.ToString();
        //jobsummaryrequest.SubmitId = "xsi:19682633";

        jobsummaryresult = xoa2.JobSummary(jobsummaryrequest);
        jobsummaryresult.JobSummaryData = jobsummarydata;

        string statuscode = jobsummarydata[0].Status.StatusCode;
        string jobstate = jobsummarydata[0].JobState.ToString();
        sb2.AppendFormat("Status Code: {0} \n", statuscode);
        sb2.AppendFormat("Job State: {0} \n", jobstate);
        lblStatus2.Text = sb2.ToString();
    }

Looks to me like you're mixing the request and result data structures, and thus not providing all the data you need.

You should just be able to do something like:

jobId = new jobSummary.JobIdType();

jobId.XDN = <the xdn>;

jobID.MRN = <the mrn>;

and then hook this into the request, kinda like this:

jobsummaryrequest.JobId(0) = jobId

I'm not a Windows programmer, but this seems to be basically how it would work.

You should not be doing anything with result data structures here - those will get populated when you actually make the API call.

I have added a C# sample for JobSummary. It is available at this URL:
