InfoPath Dev

I want to Create Complex Form Contains Multiple SharePoint Lists using web service data connection in infopath 2010.

But when I'm trying to add a data connection to the infopath everything goes ok except when trying to entering sample values to getlistItem Method it gives me errors.

Steps to get error message:

1- in infopath 2010 ->Data Menu>select Data Connections > add Data Connection(Secondery)

2-select Create New Connection to Receive Data >select  Receive Data>press Next>select  SOAP WEB SERVICE>press NEXT.

3- enter web service url for my site http://servername/site /_VTI_BIN/LISTS.ASMX > ENTER login data>PRESS NEXT

4- select GetListItems Web Method

5- finally set sample value

             - tnsListName:

                                       myListName

             - tnsQuery:

                              Trial1>>>>>>>>>                                 <Where> <Eq> <FieldRef Name="ows_ID"/> <Value Type="Integer">1</Value> </Eq> </Where>

                             Trial2>>>>>>>>>                               <Query>  <Where> <Eq> <FieldRef Name="ows_ID"/> <Value Type="Integer">1</Value> </Eq> </Where> </Query>

                              Trial3>>>>>>>>>                                 <Where> <Eq> <FieldRef Name="ID"/> <Value Type="Integer">1</Value> </Eq> </Where>

                              Trial4>>>>>>>>>                                &lt;Query&gt;&lt;Where&gt; &lt;Eq&gt; &lt;FieldRef Name=quot;OWS_IDquot;/&gt; &lt;Value Type=quot;Integerquot;&gt;1&lt;/Value&gt;    &lt;/Eq&gt; &lt;/Where&gt;&lt;Query/&gt;

Error message :

The SOAP response indicates that an error occurred on the server:

Exception of type 'Microsoft.SharePoint.SoapServer.SoapServerException' was thrown.
<detail><errorstring xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">Element &lt;Query&gt; of parameter query is missing or invalid.</errorstring><errorcode xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/">0x82000000</errorcode></detail>

Hi - GetListItems doesn't work well with InfoPath out of the box. You can search and find some work arounds - generally, I just avoid it.

You are using SharePoint 2010 - so you should have query fields with a plain list data connection - if your queries are simple equivalency queries, that should work for you.

However, if you need something more complex, SharePoint 2010 has OData services available (REST data connection) and you can create very complex dynamic queries with REST in IP 2010.

Thanks a lot for your reply ,

 I figured it Out ,

 I'll try to Create My Custom Web Service that Consume sharepoint web service and passing parameters as text to the Web service and try again and if it does not work I'll try REST Data Connection

Any Way,Thank you Hilary Stoupa
