Lists getListItems method

Question

I am invoking the Lists web service in Sharepoint 2010 and need to retrieve a single list Item only. I have the URL to the actual item and I am framing my query like this:

`<S:Envelope xmlns:S="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">    
 <S:Body>
<GetListItems xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/soap/"><listName>{5cbc4407-3851-4e00-964a-bb7e9b430f9f}</listName>    <viewName></viewName>    <rowLimit>1000</rowLimit>    <webID></webID>
<Query>
<Where>
<And>
<Eq>
**<FieldRef Name = "EncodedAbsUrl" >
</FieldRef><Value Type = "Text">http://sp10/Shared Documents/Ashish/Word_feb27.doc</Value></Eq>**
</And>
</Where>
</Query>
<viewFields>
<ViewFields>
<FieldRef Name="FSObjType"/><FieldRef Name="LinkFilename"/><FieldRef Name="UniqueId"/><FieldRef Name="FileRef"/>
<FieldRef Name="FileRef"/><FieldRef Name="EncodedAbsUrl"/><FieldRef Name="FileSizeDisplay"/><FieldRef Name="_UIVersionString"/>

<FieldRef Name="_owshiddenversion"/>
</ViewFields>
</viewFields>
</GetListItems>    
</S:Body>
</S:Envelope>

However the results that I get are multiple where it really should be just retrieving one z:row.

Anybody know what's up?

Answer 1

Your query is invalid because of the And element. It is throwing off your query and returning all the rows. This will result in all the rows being returned. Either add a second condition or remove the element.

Answer 2

Can try debugging the CAML in BIWUG CAMLDesigner, http://sharepoint.biwug.be/CamlDesigner/CamlDesigner.application
