Martin, Do you have a link to some documentation, or do I have to download it to see the contents of the package?
I just looked through the DSMLv2 spec. It defines a SOAP binding, but it doesn't provide a WSDL portType or binding description (too bad). But it does provide XML Schemas for all the messages. It's not too hard to create the WSDL from that. Once you have a WSDL file, you ought to be able to just generate your client proxy. DSML requires that you use document/literal mode.
