Calling a soap web service from an extension object's script.js

Mon, 26 Jan 2026 16:26:21 GMT

Hi there,

I am new to QlikView and I need to find a way to call a soap web service from a QlikView 11 extension object's script.js. I have not find any documentation/sample on that matter.

Any help appreciated,

Stéphane

Hi Stéphane,

There is really not any qlikview specific to calling a web service from within QV.

Some sample script.js

//Register your extension
Qva.AddExtension('MyExtensionObject', function(){
//Rendering function. The data exposed to the extension is available in this.data.xx in the JSApi
//Example of looping over the rows of data exposed to the extension
     for (var i = 0; i < this.Data.Rows.length; i++) { 
     var row = this.Data.Rows 
     //Construct your soap request
     //There is tons of good examples of the web that explains this better then me
     }
});

Edit: Here is a good example how to call a web service using jquery which is included in QV: http://community.qlik.com/thread/36011

Thank Alexander. It is now clear to me there is no QlikView API to deal with web services and that I have to use a 3rd party library like JQuery.
