OK folks, thanks for the interest in this matter.
I should mention that i use VS.NET 2005 Beta 1 - could it be something here
? I should also mention that as a java guy, I am fairly noob when it comes to
..NET. My .NET project is based on the walkthrough "Consuming an XML Web
service" found in the .NET documentation - and I thought it all went pretty
well until I tried to run the thing remote ;-)
The webservice consists of three methods. The one I am trying on now is
simply to return a harcoded string. The "main" method (on which I get the
reflection error) is a more complicated one: It takes an input object as a
parameter (which among other things has an object attribute which has an
object attribute that is an array - see the WSDL-file at the end of the post)
The method itself does a lot of database calls and builds a object which is
returned.
I have created a C# WinForm project, added a web reference, pointed to the
remote WSDL-file (which it found okay) and added some buttons to invoke the
service. Here is the code for the simple project:
#region Using directives
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Windows.Forms;
#endregion
namespace JavaWebServiceTestClient
{
partial class BlockType : Form
{
public BlockType()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void btnPing_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
adonis.IpamService ws = new adonis.IpamService();
lblPing.Text = ws.ipamPing();
}
catch
{
lblPing.Text = "ipamPing failed miserably ...";
}
}
.... and the other simple method call.
The line:
adonis.IpamService ws = new adonis.IpamService();
is the one that gives the reflection error on the request object. I have not
tried to call the actual method yet, as you can see.
And here is the WSDL-file. It went through IBM WebSphere Application
Developers v 5.1.2 WS-I compliance test - for what that is worth ...
I aplolgize for the long answer - and for the formatting of the file ;-)

"Creating the webservice" - means instantiating the proxy to the webservice?
calling the webservice? or something else?
I get a reflecting error, where the inner exception is:
"There was an error reflecting type
'JavaWebServiceTestClient.adonis.IpamRequestObject '."
System.Exception {System.InvalidOperationException}
The IpamRequestObject is our parameter object to the webservice. It seems
that VS.NET has trouble with this. What I don't understand is that this
works
when running on localhost ??? ("adonis" is the name on the remote machine)
yes, changing the host shouldn't introduce this error.
Can we see
- the WSDL, and any imported XSD's
- the code you use in VS.NET
??
