4746 ( User-defined error ) in web service call

Notes/Domino 8 Forum

Subject: 4746 ( User-defined error ) in web service call

Feedback Type: Problem

Product Area: Domino Server

Technical Area: Error Message

Platform: Linux server - RHEL 5

Release: 8.0.1

Reproducible: Always

We have been getting the following error whenever we try to call a particular function in a remote web service from a WSDL enabled LotusScript library

4746 ( User-defined error )

After about 2-3 days of investigation, we eventually narrowed it down to the use of CDATA tags in one of the variables that we were sending (in this case we are sending a block of XML as the main request variable).

I haven't been able to establish why this raises an error, as the tags are well formed (i.e. <![CDATA[some text]]> ), so as a workaround we have had to remove the CDATA tags and HTMLEncode the content of the parent tag instead.

I'm posting this in case anyone has a similar issue (to hopefully save them a couple of days), but also to see if anyone knows a workaround to get the CDATA tags working in this context.

Any suggestions welcome

thanks a lot
