Gaurav_NBIN The domain name does not exist - Web service callout
Hi
I am newbee to salesforce. I need a small information, I am trying to hit a webservice which is available to the cloud. I am able to get the response using SOAP UI and browser if I provide the end point, but getting an error while trying the same through apex code.
<H2>The requested URL could not be retrieved</H2> <HR noshade size="1px"> <P> While trying to retrieve the URL: <A HREF="http://laatws62.farmersinsurance.com:29088/TQWeb/services/OfflineCustQuoteRate">http://laatws62.farmersinsurance.com:29088/TQWeb/services/OfflineCustQuoteRate</A> <P> The following error was encountered: <BLOCKQUOTE> Unable to determine IP address from host name for <I>laatws62.farmersinsurance.com</I> </BLOCKQUOTE> <P> The dnsserver returned: <BLOCKQUOTE> Name Error: The domain name does not exist. </BLOCKQUOTE>
Is there any proxy/authorization settings in salesforce using which I can hit the service.
Please do reply, thanks in advance.
You cannot just directly hit the Webservice. You have two options, if its a SOAP Service, get the WSDL for the service and create an Apex Stub (using WSDL2APEX) and then use the methods to hit the service.
If its a REST Service, use Http methods and do a GET on the service
Thanks for the reply Karthik. This is my mistake actually.
Here are the steps I followed already...
1. Generated an Apex class using WSDL2APEX as its a SOAP service.
2. Added end point to the remote site.
3. Created a controller which is calling the service method.
Then I am getting this error. Though this service is giving the response in SOAP UI and normal browser hit also.
I am getting the host name if I ping the host name through command promt also.
I doubt about some permissions, please help.
I facing same problem now. Can you please let me know how you resolved this?
