RE: [flexcoders] Re: Problems making SOAP calls via WSDL file

[Franck de Bruijn]

I checked the WSDL with SOAPUI and the WSDL looks fine.   I do see however that the WSDL is of the type doc/literal. I have had some serious issues with that connecting with Flex to such a web service back-end. I have not verified if the final release of Flex 2 has resolved all these issues. I never encountered issues like Charles described, so this statement probably does not apply.   With respect to ‘running the files locally’ the following: if you are using the WSDL that you pointed out to us, it contains the following section:      <wsdl:service name="ReportService">       <wsdl:port binding="api:ReportServiceSoapBinding" name="ReportService">          <wsdlsoap:address location="https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/v4/ReportService"/>       </wsdl:port>    </wsdl:service> You might actually load the WSDL successfully from your local machine (if you include it with your app-distribution), but once you try to invoke an operation (as you describe in your first mail) it should fail, since the web service itself is hosted on a different machine (I presume that ‘adwords.google.com’ is not your machine).   Even here some easy-to-miss subtleties can arise: if you load your flex app from e.g. ‘localhost’ and the WSDL points to your local machine but with a different name (like 127.0.0.1), it will still fail. At least, that’s what I experienced from testing.   Cheers, Franck   From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:flexcoders@yahoogroups.com] On Behalf Of Dave Wolf Sent: Tuesday, August 01, 2006 6:21 PM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: [flexcoders] Re: Problems making SOAP calls via WSDL file   Do you have any kind of proxy tool, like the SOAPMonitor or Tcptunnel where you can see the response coming back? -- Dave Wolf Cynergy Systems, Inc.
