Connecting to a Web Service without WSDL

[pauloconnor]

Hi,

I am currently working on interfacing with a web service from a third party.

They have informed me that their policy for security reasons is that the WSDL file is not part of the URL. They have emailed me the WSDL file so I can generate the documentation using bprowsdldoc.

The web service provider has provided me with the URL of the webservice itself but I cannot connect to this (getting 'Error loading WSDL document .... Cannot resolve URI:... status code: 1(11748).

Is there any way I can connect to this webservice from the 4GL or must I have the URL of the WSDL itself?

Any help appreciated.
Paul

Try to CONNECT in 4GL with option
-WSDL [wsdl-document]
and give the local path to the WSDL file.

I can do this alright..

So for example,

hWebService:CONNECT("-WSDL 'c:\temp\thirdPartyService.wsdl'").

but (and pardon my ignorance here).. should I not have the URL of the host server somewhere?

The WSLD File contains the SOAP address -> Server Name or IP , check then WSDL file
at the end, have to be there.
