Consuming CurrencyConverter web service through JavaScript

Hi,

For getting the currency conversion rate we could use the following web service provided by Generic Objects Technologies Ltd.

Check out the web services provided by them

http://www.webservicex.net/WCF/webServices.aspx

To consume their currency converter web service

http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx we could use the following JavaScript code

var xmlHttp;
function SoapCall() {
// creatng the xmlHttp object
xmlHttp = new ActiveXObject(“Microsoft.XMLHTTP”);
// Calling the web service using post and true means asynchronous call
xmlHttp.open(“post”, “http://www.webservicex.net/CurrencyConvertor.asmx”, false);
// Setting the request header to let the web service identify the soap request we would be sending

xmlHttp.setRequestHeader(“Content-Type”, “text/xml; charset=utf-8”);

xmlHttp.setRequestHeader(“SOAPAction”, “http://www.webserviceX.NET/ConversionRate”);

var soapRequest = “<?xml version=’1.0′ encoding=’utf-8′?> ” +
“<soap12:Envelope xmlns:xsi=’http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance&#8217; xmlns:xsd=’http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema&#8217; xmlns:soap12=’http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope’>&#8221; +
” <soap12:Body>” +
”   <ConversionRate xmlns=’http://www.webserviceX.NET/’>&#8221; +
”     <FromCurrency>USD</FromCurrency>” +
”    <ToCurrency>INR</ToCurrency>” +
”  </ConversionRate>” +
“</soap12:Body>” +
“</soap12:Envelope>”;

xmlHttp.send(soapRequest);
alert(xmlHttp.responseText);

}

Bye..
