Help a Newbie

Hi --

I am attempting to write my first ever SOAP application to interface with 
QuickBooks.

I am using Delphi 2007. I created a new "SOPA Server Application" and
then 
used the WSDL Importer to import from 
http://developer.intuit.com/uploadedFiles/Support/QBWebConnectorSvc.wsdl.

My first question is, how do I invoke the methods created in the unit by the 
importer from the main web application?

Additionally, I am confused about how this service will be called and then 
invoke QuickBooks. This may be too specific a question (i.e. one that should 
be asked on a QB forum, not here) but if anyone has a simple explaination of 
how this works that would be great.

Thanks

Rich

I was able to see how the soap server worked by having it create example 
procedures (this is a checkbox opition in the wizard)
I believe that will answer your question

I am not up on the latest QuickBooks so I cannot speak to this.
(Two years ago, I wrote a program in Delphi 6 that imports from QuickBooks 
POS.The program uses their SDK to import the XML.)
I found the developer newsgroup at Intuit to be very helpful.

Hello,

The WSDL of the service posted is located here:
https://idn.vogelfam.net/QBMSDonorSample/QBWebConnectorSvc.asmx

To invoke the methods, you can use something along the lines of:

var
  Service: QBWebConnectorSvcSoap;
begin
  Service := GetQBWebConnectorSvcSoap;
  Service.authenticate(userName, password);

I suspect the service mentioned above is somewhat related/tied to
QuickBooks.

Cheers,

Bruneau.
