Many thanks Barry, I've not been given the WSDL yet although I've asked for it.
I have the book you mentioned and will wait until I get the WSDL before I go any further. Best Wishes Neil -----Original Message----- From: Barry White [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 29 August 2003 11:05 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: New to SOAP, need help with code Hi Neil, unfortunately I've never used .NET and I'm pretty new to Java too. But I learnt it all from the Java Web Services book (plus some very useful help from this newsgroup). It seems that knowing more about the web service would help you, rather than just trying to 'blindly' translate the code to Java (what are the parameter types and return type?). Have you studied the WSDL file which describes the service? http://xxxxx.co.uk/CardPaymentInterface.wsdl My suggestion would be to do that and then forget about .NET for a bit. Use the book to implement the service client and see how you get on. There may be some interoperability issues between Apache and .NET so look into that if you're still having problems. This is unlikely though if the service only uses simple data types (int, string, etc).
