call wcf service from xcode4.3

Question

I am a .Net programmer and a beginner in Xcode. I want to display the result from a WCF service on the iPad in UITableViewController. I have successfully created stubs for the service by using wsdl2objc. The SOAP message created is as follows:

2012-07-25 14:02:37.169 TestWCF[5280:fb03] OutputHeaders:
{
  "Content-Length" = 572;
  "Content-Type" = "text/xml; charset=utf-8";
  Host = "XXX.XXX.XXX";
  SOAPAction = "http://tempuri.org/IDocSync/getAllCategories";
  "User-Agent" = wsdl2objc;
}
2012-07-25 14:02:37.172 TestWCF[5280:fb03] OutputBody:

                    <a:subCategoryId>0</a:subCategoryId>
                </a:Category>
        </getAllCategoriesResult>
    </getAllCategoriesResponse>
</s:Body>
</s:Envelope>

The code in Appdelegate.m is:

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions
{
    // Override point for customization after application launch.
   BasicHttpBinding_IDocSyncBinding *myBinding = [iPadDocSyncServiceSvc    BasicHttpBinding_IDocSyncBinding];
myBinding.logXMLInOut = YES;

//iPadDocSyncServiceSvc_getAllCategories *allCate =     [[iPadDocSyncServiceSvc_getAllCategories new]autorelease];
iPadDocSyncServiceSvc_getAllCategories *allCate = [[iPadDocSyncServiceSvc_getAllCategories     alloc]init];

BasicHttpBinding_IDocSyncBindingResponse *response = [myBinding getAllCategoriesUsingParameters:allCate];

for(id bodyPart in response.bodyParts)
{
    //if([bodyPart isKindOfClass:[BasicHttpBinding_IDocSyncBindingResponse class]])
    //{
    //tns1_ArrayOfCategory *cateClass = (tns1_ArrayOfCategory *) bodyPart;
    //[self.tableView reloadData];

    //categories  = (NSMutableArray *) cateClass;
    //tns1_ArrayOfCategory *cateClass = [bodyPart getAllCategoriesResult];

    self.categories = (NSMutableArray *) [bodyPart getAllCategoriesResult];
    //}
}


return YES;
}

When I run this,nothing is displayed in the Simulator...it shows a blank screen. There is something very obvious that I am missing. How can I get it working?

Answer 1

I wrote a few tutorials using Wsdl2Objc a while back; maybe they can help.
