Web Service Q.. (wsdl failing)

[NoCoolHandle]

Hi,

I have a webservice written in .net 2.0 that I have been trying to call via a webservice task in SSIS.

After pointing it at the web site (and asmx) file, I have had problems using the wsdl.

Although it seems to generate the wsdl with no errors. When I try to configure the webservice it gives me an invalid wsdl error, and won't let me specify the class or method.

Any clues would be appreciated (and awarded a star) - this is very frustrating.

Ok... solution....

It seems that when you click the Generate Wsdl button in the webservice task it just plain out doesn't work

So.. the solution it to go to your asmx file (via a browser).

If it is a dotnet webservice (and probably other also) there is a hyperlink at the top of the response for "Service Descripton" - in other workd the wsdl

So.. Click the link and when it loads the resulting xml file, from the File Menu select Save.. Change the extension to wsdl (by default it will be the asmx extension)

then in the webservice task, point to your newly saved wsdl.

At that point things should work.

HTH
