Failed to execute web request for the specified Url (SharePoint)


I was getting this error while trying to build a report ( using sql server reporting services) using xml as a data source against Lists web service of SharePoint.

I was making use of GetListItems method of the Lists web service.

Finally the error was fixed by using Fiddler(web debugging tool) within which we easily view the request and responses sent back and forth.

http://www.fiddlertool.com/fiddler/

Using it I checked the soap request being passed to the web service and was able to correct the error.

For using the web service (Lists) I followed the following steps.

Selected Data Source type as XML

Connection String as the url of the web service

http://servername/_vti_bin/lists.asmx

And the following query

<Query>

<Method Namespace=http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/ Name=GetListItems>

<Parameters>

<Parameter Name=listName>

<DefaultValue>Employee Satisfaction Survey</DefaultValue>

</Parameter>

</Parameters>

</Method>

<SoapAction>http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/GetListItems</SoapAction>

</Query>


Bye..
