I'm using the DataRequest Web Service to post the following block of XML with the intent to obtain the XML Schema for GetHouseholdCollection:

 <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><tns:dataRequest xmlns:tns="GetSchema">

<authenticateHeader>

<churchCode>mycode</churchCode>

<user>myname</user>

<password>mypassword</password>

<method>GetSchema</method>

<version>1.0</version>

</authenticateHeader>

<parameters><methodName>GetHouseholdCollection</methodName></parameters>

</tns:dataRequest>

But, I get an error that says there is no schema available. When I try for GetHousehold, I get the same error, which is:

1033::DE::Failed to get the schema requested - please check the methodName or try using the methodGroup parameter.

 I tried adding a methodGroup parameter to the request and I get:

Object reference not set to an instance of an object. 

Could someone just post the XMLSchema to a webserver or this forum, or tell me what I'm doing wrong?

BTW, I'm using version 2.0 of the API, but I have to specify v1.0 in this request for GetSchema or else it tells me:

 Value cannot be null.Parameter name: type

Even when using the XML from the example for GetSchema in the Mar-2006 Notes PDF

Thanks,

I verified that it is working. For reference by others, here is the request XML that is now working:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<tns:dataRequest xmlns:tns="GetSchema">
<authenticateHeader><churchCode>mycode</churchCode><user>user</user><password>password</password>
<method>GetSchema</method>
<version>1.0</version>
</authenticateHeader>
<parameters><methodName>GetHouseholdCollection</methodName></parameters>
</tns:dataRequest>
