I am trying to invoke a method on a .net webservice. The developer keeps sending me an URL with .svc ending instead of pointing to a wsdl. First, I don’t know anything about .net webservices, so should there be a wsdl file available and would I follow the steps in this tutorial if there were. If a wsdl file is not available for a .net webservice is there any example of building a java client to invole a .net webservice?
jlewis,
I’m afraid there is no way you can generate a client without the WSDL. WSDL files are standard for all SOAP based webservices, whether implemented in Java or .NET.
I have a feeling that appending “?wsdl” to the svc URL may give you the WSDL you need. So if the URL is “http://mydomain.com/web/service.svc”, try “http://mydomain.com/web/service.svc?wsdl”
If this does not work, please go ahead and ask the developer for the WSDL, he should be able to generate one for you.
Hope this helps.
My experiences with all Java (Axis2), .NET and Delphi webservices has been that pointing at the supplied url using Internet Explorer (not with other browsers) I’ve been able to view the available wsdl’s from the serviceinterfaces provided. Pasting the final url, indeed ending in ?wsdl, into the WebService discovery tool, either MyEclipse, Visual Studio, or SoapUI (and probably should work in Delphi as well), I successfully generated the required stubs for using/testing the service.
Hope This Helps,
Ton
