Re: accessing services at xmethods.net

2006-02-25 Thread Anne Thomas Manes
A lot of the services at xmethods are non-standard or don't work. Assuming you pick one that works properly, you should be able to take the WSDL and generate a stub to talk to it. Most other SOAP toolkits work the same way, although some use a call interface instead of a stub interface. AnneOn

1) So web serivces is basically == RPC (Remote Procedure Call) == RMI (similar if only using Java) ??2) Web services is a way of doing remote Method Invocation?3) Then Web Services is == Java RMI + ability to invoke methods on other languages / platforms (e.g. .NET / Perl / PHP ..etc)

I mean that the WSDLs for many of these services aren't valid.xmethods doesn't provide a toolkit -- it just provides a place for people to post their services -- it's up to the folks that post their service to make sure that they are valid. Many are not. If the WSDL isn't valid, wsdl2java is

WS-I allows document/literal and rpc/literal. But as I said, many systems don't support rpc/literal, so I strongly recommend that you change your specification to use doc/literal instead. If you use the wrapped convention with doc/literal, the messages on the wire and the programming model are

Thanks you so much for the hint !But if you are using a web service toolkit that implements WSDL standard - the WSDL get generated should be valid WSDL(Axis for example uses ?wsdl at the end of the URL)Are you meaning the WSDLs listed at xmethods.net are hand coded by service provider
