RE: Axis 1.2.1 to .NET Interoperability Question

[John, Anil]

Leslie,

 

As an aside, provided you have an InterOp friendly WSDL and Schema, on the .NET side you have an additional option for generating the client proxy than the built-in wsdl.exe.

 

That is to use the free WSCF Visual Studio.NET addin @
http://www.thinktecture.com/Resources/Software/WSContractFirst/default.html

 

A walk-through on the tool can be found @
http://www.thinktecture.com/Resources/Software/WSContractFirst/WSCF0.5Walkthrough.html

 

Regards,

 

- Anil

Thanks Anne.

 

I have cleaned up the wsdl file, but I am still having a problem getting the data to show up in my VB.NET client. I have attached the WSDL file.  I have also listed below the steps that I have taken for this.  We did change our return types from collections to arrays wherever they were called. We made dateTime not nulls. 

1)       Created a WSDL file  thru axis with ?wsdl 

2)       This wsdl file contained errors so we manually cleaned it up  with the excellent help recd here.

3)      Calling service methods through a a browser and java test client displays expected results 

4)       On the ..NET side, I used the wsdl.exe utility to generate a VB class from the wsdl file that was created in step.

5)       We run the VB class in a app. If a method returns a string, then data comes through. If it returns an object, I get an object with none of the attributes being set.

 Is this approach correct?   Also, what role does the server-config.wsdd file play in how services operate?

 Any assistance on this is greatly appreciated.

Regards

Leslie

One problem that I see is that your response messages all include two
elements of different type with the same QName. Number 1 -- that's a
really bad practice, and Number 2, I suspect .NET can't handle it.

For example, you have:









I suggest you change it to:









You should do that for all of your response messages.
