how to get ApiProxy work

1>I compile “dfm-5.0.wsdl” (come from DFM SDK) and generate all soap files by using gsoap 2.7.9.

2> With the generated soap files, I made a simple program and try to retrieve info by accessing a DFM web service.

I can make regular DFM calls work, such as “LunListInfoIterStart”, “LunListInfoIterNext”, etc.

3> But when I call “ApiProxy” soap call, for exmaple, to run "system-get-info" on a storage controler,

it always returns error such as "Invalid tag" after a long time.

In debug mode, I checked soap's buffer, it has all returned infomation of "system-get-info".

But the info doesn't show up in ApiProxy's repsonse result.

The following is my simple code of calling "ApiProxy". Any suggestion:

int main (int argc, char *argv[])

{

if (argc < 4){

printf("Usage: %s {NMSDK Server URL} {Username} {Password}\n", argv[0]); return -1; }

else

printf("Connecting to NMSDK Server [%s] with user [%s].\n", argv[1], argv[2]);

std::string sURL = argv[1];

std::string sUsername = argv[2];

std::string sPassword = argv[3];

DfmBinding ClientSoap;

ClientSoap.soap->userid = soap_strdup(ClientSoap.soap, sUsername.c_str());

ClientSoap.soap->passwd = soap_strdup(ClientSoap.soap, sPassword.c_str());

ClientSoap.endpoint = sURL.c_str();

//memset(ClientSoap.soap->buf, 0, SOAP_BUFLEN);

ClientSoap.soap->recv_timeout = 20;

ClientSoap.soap->send_timeout = 20;

ClientSoap.soap->connect_timeout = 20;

ClientSoap.soap->accept_timeout = 20;

soap_ssl_init();

if (soap_ssl_client_context (ClientSoap.soap, SOAP_SSL_NO_AUTHENTICATION, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL) != SOAP_OK){

printf("soap_ssl_client_context() failed."); }

int iRc;

printf("api-proxy: system-get-info\n");

printf("---------------------------------------------------------------------------:\n");

ClientSoap.soap->userid = soap_strdup(ClientSoap.soap, sUsername.c_str());

ClientSoap.soap->passwd = soap_strdup(ClientSoap.soap, sPassword.c_str());

_ns1__ApiProxy *apiProxy = soap_new__ns1__ApiProxy(ClientSoap.soap, -1);

apiProxy->Target.assign("netappone");

apiProxy->Request = soap_new_ns1__Request(ClientSoap.soap, -1);

apiProxy->Request->Name.assign("system-get-info");

apiProxy->Request->Args = soap_new__ns1__Request_Args(ClientSoap.soap, -1);

_ns1__ApiProxyResult *apiProxyResult = soap_new__ns1__ApiProxyResult(ClientSoap.soap, -1);

if ((iRc = ClientSoap.__ns1__ApiProxy(apiProxy, apiProxyResult)) == 0){

if(!apiProxyResult->Response->Status.compare("passed")) {

printf("---------------------------------------------------------------------------:\n");

} else

{

printf("-----------------------api-proxy call failed 1 -------------------------------:\n");

}

} else

{

printf("-----------------------api-proxy call failed 2 --------------:\n");

}
