We've gotten webservices running under both the Witango 5.5 server and also the J2EE Witango servlet...

It IS tricky in terms of setting the paths, but we did get that worked out, and once done, it worked "as advertised".
I have asked my programmer who did this to check in on this issue.

Before I write out a detailed email to support, has anyone successfully gotten the new Webservices to work?

I have built everything starting with the tutorial, and the events.log confirms that webservices are enabled, and that the ws is registered, and I have set the wws extension mapping in IIS. But when I use the taf example to hit the wws, I just get page missing.

Also, I am using special SOAP class in Realbasic to hit, and it loads the wsdl ok, but can find the action when hitting. I know it works, cuz there are sample webservices out there made by .NET that you can test on.

I also built my own HTTP tester to hit the wws, and wrote the taf as in the documentation, all can find the action/url.

I made the example EXACTLY as tutorial, except not localhost. Only difference is I am using a domain, admin.bigheadtech.com.

Some questions

In the example, the webservices.ini uses relative paths to point to the wsdl and tcf files. What is this relative too? Is this relative to the webroot for the given VIRTUAL website in IIS? Is this supposed to be relative to some other point?

Does this mean that with this structure, the wws is ALWAYS going to be at the root level of the site? so even though as in example, the tcf and wsdl is at webservices/WhatsTheTime/WhatsTheTime.tcf, it will be called by SOAPAction http://www.mysite.com/WhatsTheTime.wws ?

Since I have many domains in IIS, all with different webroots, how does the witango wws system handle this? I think I read all the docs I could get my hands on, any help would be appreciated.

I am looking forward to getting this working, we have written many webservices with Witango and RB, but it was a tough process due to the limitations in witango v5. We basically rolled our own, and couldn't even use the DOM, cuz it didn't always handle CDATA sections correctly, and other types. Plus, there was the issue of encoding, v5 only able to result ISO 8559 encoding and not UTF-8.
