tSOAP response has base64Binary encoded data

Dobby1 — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 02:59:54 GMT

I can make a successful call to a SOAP webservice with tSOAP component but the problem is that it returns an Excel document as a base64Binary data and I don't know how to either save the file or read the contents of the Excel file. Here's a sample of the response:

<SOAP-ENV:Envelope SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" xmlnsOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="rollins-accommodate.symplicity.com/ws/report_api.php" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlnsOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>

Hi
Take a look at this thread, use tExtractXMLFiled to extract the body from response, and then decode base64Binary to byte array on a tJavaRow, and convert byte array to a file.
