create proxy client class or web service method without using wsdl

raymond

Hi,

Is it possible to create a proxy client class or a web service method by
VS.NET without using wsdl? My stupid client is using a xml schema (.xsd) to
describe all their web service methods (and my webmethods) by Java (Apache
toolkit) instead of using WSDL. What should I do?

Thanks a lot!
Raymond

Raymond,

Yes, you can create a proxy by hand, but it may take a little bit of work,
depending on how complex their message types are. It would be fairly simple
for RPC formatted messages with primitive parameter types, but may require
some work for document-literal messages. The best way to get started is a
proxy class you generated with wsdl.exe from another web service. Then take
your client's schemas, generate .NET classes for the parameter types using
XSD.exe and customize the generated proxy class by adding the classes and
renaming the methods.

However, Apache Axis does support adding ?wsdl to the web service URL to
retrieve a WSDL. You may want to check with your client if they can't just
do that ...

Problem generating client proxy with complex return types

by: louis_la_brocante | last post by:

Dear all, I am having trouble generating a client proxy for a webservice whose methods return a "complex" type. The type is complex in that it is a class whose members are a mix of primitive types and of more elaborate classes implementing IXmlSerializable. The resulting WSDL file for the webservice has two separate schemas in its <types> sections, and the client proxy (generated with wsdl.exe) is missing the definitions of the...
