Got a SOAP exceptiion trying to connect to Cognos

[ada]

Hi,

I am using cognos SDK to get connection from my cognos server. I got the SAXException with error: Bad envelope tag: html.

the code I did:

ContentManagerService_ServiceLocator cmServiceLocator = new ContentManagerService_ServiceLocator();
ContentManagerService_Port   cmService = cmServiceLocator.getcontentManagerService(new java.net.URL("http://myCognosLink/cognos.cgi"));

    // logon
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    sb.append("<credential>");
    sb.append("<namespace>").append("LDAP").append("</namespace>");
    sb.append("<username>").append("login").append("</username>");
    sb.append("<password>").append("pwd").append("</password>");
    sb.append("</credential>");

XmlEncodedXML xmlCredentials = new XmlEncodedXML();
    xmlCredentials.setValue(sb.toString());
    cmService.logon(xmlCredentials, null);

I did a search for this error but seems there is few record for this one. I am wondering if this is caused by something else?

Any help would be very appreciated.

Many thanks,
Ada

I got this problem solved and the cause was the URL should be the diapatch URL not the cognos cgi.

You are also able to use the gateway URL while you have to be sure that the CAF is disabled.

The use of the dispatcher URL is nevertheless the better one.
