WSDL not working

Hi

I have written a WSDL file and tested it and it is not working.

I do not know what I have left out or entered wrongly. It is valid and well formed, but not working!

All help and advice greatly appreciated.

Hi

I am testing it through

http://soapclient.com/soaptest.html

and getting the error report:

Error parsing the WSDL file: C:\Documents and Settings\Home PC\My Documents\UH\PAWS unit\Assignmnet 3\q3.1.1.wsdl Error retrieving WSDL file at C:\Documents and Settings\Home PC\My Documents\UH\PAWS unit\Assignmnet 3\q3.1.1.wsdl

I am expecting to be prompted for two pieces of information: policycode and date and then receive one response: price. I am new to this and don't know what it is that I have done wrong.

thanks for your help

Hi,

you must type an URL to your WSDL file on field "WSDL File Address:", something like http://homepages.feis.herts.ac.uk/~3com0109/q3.1.1.wsdl, the error occurs because you put a local file and the Generic SOAP Client needs a remote file.

i hope this helps

Hi

Can I clarify what you mean: when I enter the file location in the soapclient field it must be a remote address but still to the actual file I have?

Therefore I have to store my file on a server somewhere to test it?

thanks

hi, vebram

to test using the soapclient you must use a URL to your WSDL file, not a reference to a file in your hard disk, like C:\someFolder\someDir, you must type something like http://yourdomain.com/yourWSDLfile.wsdl and this must be on-line, because http://soapclient.com/soaptest.html get this file, parse the file at server-side then show the test page.

i hope to be more clearly now.
