Generate wsdl from http

[Haxan]

Hi,

I need to consume a web service, but have only been given the http address
e.g.
"http://placea/xyz.COM:8080/myprog1". I would like to generate a wsdl and
use it to reference this web service in ".Net" (C#) or any other way that
will allow me consume the web service in ".Net".

Thanks for the help.

If this were an ASP.NET web service with default settings, then adding
"?WSDL" to the end of the http address would work. However, there's no
general way to get a WSDL file from a web service; they really need to send
you the WSDL.

Actually this web service was created using cobol mainframe and apparently
doesn't have a way to create a wsdl. The web service is normally
accessed(consumed) from VB Scripts. Since I need to call this web service
from .Net (C#), Im trying to figure out how to reference it. Will appreciate
any suggestion.

Thanks for your help.

I suggest that they give you a WSDL, even if they have to build it "by
hand". Even for a mainframe, they can't expect people to access a web
service which has no description!
