Calling a .Net web service from the Action Handler

[sajid08]

Hi All!

I posted this type of question before and was redirected to search the forum, did that but couldn't find anything useful, if there is please guide me towards that.

My question is How can we call a web service of .net or for that matter of any other language from within a Action Handler defined on a transition or Task node etc., If anyone can provide sample code for it, that'd be great!

The second question is, Is that a good idea to call web services from within the Action Handlers?, When we are into a process and different nodes need to call different services to fullfil there jobs. If it is not then where should we put our calls then?


Regards,
Sajid

1: Search BETTER: http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=70723 (just by using the term webservice)

2: Yes it is. What is calling a webservice different then clling some java code (besides transactions, reliability etc)

Thanks alot Ronald, It did help, although I am now facing an error when calling the ws :)

I dont know how you search, because even if I search with a string like 'Invoking a web service', it came back with more than 100 pages, I browsed through 5 to 6 of them but to no avail.
