Thanks Symeon.B
Actually, someone provided me the wsdl from another machine as aB project spec.B This wsdl comes from an as400B that is providing a webservice just like the one that I am supposed to provide.B I was able to create a webservice that lookedB fine to me (ie pass customer/items and get accurate pricing in return)B but the developers of the application that are attempting to consume it had problems with certain tags that were generated by the wsB developer.B Before I started looking into itB (no time right now), I thought I'd ask if loading their wsdl into the ws developer was an option.B soapui sounds interesting - I'll take a look at that later. Thanks much. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Symeon Breen" <syme...@gmail.com> To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Sent: Wednesday, December 17, 2008 3:23:15 AM GMT -06:00 US/Canada Central Subject: RE: [U2] Web Services Developer So you are consuming a web service rather than providing one - i may be wrong here - i have never used the web services developer but is it not for the providing of web services as opposed to the consuming ? If you want to consume one then just write it in databasic using the soap or the http api - it will be about 30 lines of code ! B I presume it then responds with xml - again just use the xml api to parse that using an EXT is very simple again and is only 10 lines of code. If you are not able, from the wsdl, to make out what the format of the request or the response may be or if the web service itself does not have an example page (asp.net web services do by default) then as suggested elsewhere i can recommend soapui.org it will generate example requests and responses for you so you can work with these in your databasic. If it is soap you can either use the databasic soap ui or it may be simpler to just formulate the soap message yourself (as per the example done by soapui) and use the http api straight up. I would certainly recommend you do it in databasic - web services are basically very simple and it is worth your while spending half a day to do this and you will then understand them inside out and become a web services guru ;) Rgds Symeon. -----Original Message----- From: owner-u2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org [mailto:owner-u2-us...@listserver.u2ug.org] On Behalf Of iggch...@comcast.net Sent: 15 December 2008 18:14 To: u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org Subject: Re: [U2] Web Services Developer No, someone had given me a wsdl from an as400 that I need to communicate with.B B Not knowing much about webservices, I was hoping I could, somehow, load that into the u2 web services developer, create a matching subroutine, and be flying.B B Probably not that simple eh?
