Can we Get the WSDL through URLof external system

[Former Member]

Hi,

my client has provided a URL for passing the messages in a synchronous mode.... so. i have to use SOAP adapter in the Receiver side ..

but with the only URL I'm not able to conect the client system..I'm getting Errors...

so.. i think if the SOAP adapter is Receiver side means WSDL is compulasry..

but my client was saying they can'not provide the WSDL..

so, with only the URL is it possible to conect the external system.....otherwise..

through that URL can we get teh WSDL code...

please suggest me some solution...

Regards

Hello,

Without wsdl, you can invoke a service from XI thru SOAP adapter. Assume, the scenario is to have drop file in the url ??? if so

Options are:

1) Get the WSDL and go with simple SOAP Receiver Scenario. I think this is the only feasible solution

2) Try to write a Java Code, to access the URL and dump the file into that URL provided it has a provision to do so. This you can achieve thru Java Server Proxy.. But need to evaluate the options of using Java API to access the URL and upload the file. i,e probably using Stream classes etc

Hope this helps,

Hi...Jain,

with out WSDL file, you cant handle the scenario..because it wraps the data into XML format(Req and Res)data..if ur using SOAP adapter at sender side , u can generate the WSDL in ID, in Receiver side you cant generate the WSDL file..

Hello,

1 .Just copy the paste the service URL in your Browser. It should open service navigator without any error.

2. Also, you should ask for the WSDL to client otherwise you wont be able to map/pass on the Request Data to the Webservice .

First talk to your client and make sure that URL should be accessible from your system, otherwise you will not able to process any request on their server.
