Webservice with no WSDL

I need some guidance, as I am used to Visual Studio '03 taking care of this
for me. I need to connect to a web service, but the web service does not
provide a WSDL document to point to...

Is there an easy way to setup and use SOAP without a WSDL document that sets
everything up?

TIA!

You can hand code the connection proxy without WSDL, but it is a bit of a
pain. A better option is create an equivalent service (equivalent in
methods, not implementation) on your own box and grab the WSDL from that
service. Editing the path information to the web service is simple. Then,
use the wsdl created to create a proxy class using wsdl.exe. You will find
it far less time consuming. Once you get a successful test, send the company
that put you through this pain the WSDL as a thank you for the pain. ;->

Hello, i have a problem using a .NET WSDL Webservice from PHP. Using both the NuSOAP lib for PHP4, and the build-in SOAP lib for PHP5 it seems that the SOAP client cannot pass a variable amount of complex datatypes to the WSDL webservice. This is the request-structure we've been using: <EzCreateAuctionArray xmlns=http://www.blabla.com>

hi ng, i try to invoke a webservice-method with an filter-object, that contains value types. if i don´t want to filter the return value of the method, i have to pass a new instance of the filter-object without setting any properties. but the value type-properties can´t be null and the filter is set to 0 (int) or false (bool). therefore i did implement the propertySpecified-pattern like this:

Hi, I'd like to my WCF webservice to work both on SSL and without. Unfortunately searching has led to dead ends, references to changes that only work on the old previous beta versions and I admit I am rather confused and frustrated. That being said, I'd like some direction in how exactly I'm supposed to accomplish this. Thanks very much, JK

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
