Hallo,

I need to create a webservice according to a already defined WSDL.
Normally in BDS2006 I create a new ASP.NET Webservice and the WSDL is
automatically created. The problem is that this automatically created
WSDL doesn't correspond to the WSDL provdided (created with Java), for
example messages and arrays are declared differently. Is there a way
to create a webservice according to a WSDL which is already provided
(top-down)?

I already tried to modify the WSDL with serialization, but there are
too much differences.

Kind regards,

Revilo

Hello Revilo,

The WSDL.EXE tool has a feature that supports what you're after: it's
referred to as the /serverInterface (or /si). I've used it a lot to recreate
a WebService based on a given WSDL. I don't know if the IDE exposes this
feature but behind the scene we use WSDL.EXE to generate code for xml web
service clients so it should be possible to invoke the utility by hand. The
tricky issue might be the /language:xxxx option if you want Delphi.NET code;
you'll need to specify the DelphiProvider as that parameter; otherwise,
WSDL.EXE defaults to C# code.

Let me know if you need more information.

Cheers,

Bruneau.

Bruneau,

I managed to generate Delphi.NET code with WSDL.exe:

wsdl /server /
l:Borland.Delphi.DelphiCodeProvider,DelphiProvider,Version=10.0.4143.0,Culture=neutral,PublicKeyToken=91d62ebb5b0d1b1b
mywebservice.wsdl

(The line above only works for Delphi2006, for other Delphi versions
you need to change version and PublicKeyToken)

Now I'll try to get it to work! ;)

Kind regards,

Revilo

Bruneau,

Thanks for your answer. I already tried this, but I'm not that
familiar with C#... I coul'dn't figure out how to use this created
unit to create the functions in the webservice. Do I need to copy the
created functions in the [WebService] class, which is behind my .asmx?

The tricky part is indeed to generate Delphi.NET code with WSDL.exe.
Any suggestions/examples on this subject would be greatly
appreciated...

Kind regards,

Revilo

Hello,

Thanks for the follow up post.

Yes, updated versions must use whatever is registered in the GAC (Goto
c:\windows\assembly and look for the assembly named 'DelphiProvider').
