Hi all:
I am using wM 8.
I have to consume a web service from a task. I tried first from Integration Server and everything works. (I created a WSD, a Flow Service using the WS connector and then run from Designer).

When I try to use it from a task, I have an IOException error (see below full error).
The Web service has user authentication but I put the correct user & password in authentication info/username & password.
The server has network access to the web service.
Any idea?
Thanks
Hernan

Hi Hernan,
Are you able to see if the request is being sent (using for example the MWS portlet wm_soapmonitor, or tcpmon, or nettool)? If so, is the message sent correct?
One further question, do you really need to call the web service directly from the UI? You could call it from IS (which adds a layer and an extra call, but may make it easier to maintain later in case the service changes).

best regards,
Javier
