Just a quick survey to see if anyone on this forum is using the Web Services PACK, more specifically the WSDL Importer. I'm evaluating the Web Services PACK in 8.0.1. Thus far I've found the SOAP adapter to behave pretty much as documented, but I've had a few undesirable results with the WSDL importer that seem they they would be the kind of things others would have found by now if this tool is widely used.

I've done a good deal of testing re: DSTX for web services recently (on 8.0 and 8.0.1) that actually went much better than I expected. I've been able to 'import' WSDLs to create both the type tree and map 'templates' for calling web services from a map.

In most cases, I did have to make some 'manual adjustments' to the resulting type trees and maps to get things to work - but these were pretty easy to figure out (looking at HTTP and SOAP adapter traces) and make. I think I've got 'the details' documented somewhere if you're 'interested'.

Starting with only a WSDL, I was able to get maps up & running in an hour or two. I've also done some more complicated testing where I used the PGP adapter to encrypt the payload data being passed to & from the web service - also accomplished with relative ease.

Hello Guys, I'm trying to call a WSDL from a map. The WSDL would return me a value.
I haven't done this scenario before. How can I call a WSDL from the WTX map?
I'm using WTX 8.2 and not having the Webservices pack. I appreciate your help.
Thanks.

There is another thread in this forum related to this that may help:

Also, you do not need the Web Services pack in 8.2. It has been incorporated into the base Design Studio.

Jim,

I'm currently working on a Proof Of Concept to prove that the SOLA/SOAP/HTTP adapters do work as we'd expect them to. You mentioned that you've documented your steps on how you've managed to get the mapping up and running...Would you be willing to post or send me your documentation?

Here's what I've done so far:
1. imported a WISDL into the wizard
2. auto-created my type tree
3. attempted to auto create my mapping from the type tree, but it didn't work (contained zero maps when completed)

I need to send a SOAP message over HTTP from our 8.2.0.4 WTX box to our SOLA box.

Any help is appreciated.

Thank you,
-Mark

Can you post the WSDL and a copy of your generated response here. I have been successful on 8.2.0.3 and 8.2.0.4. There is another thread in this forum with more details as well.

Thanks for your offer to help. I've attached my type tree and the mapping I created using the import "map from XML" option. My problem is now that none of the "rule" fields are filled in within my mapping output card. I found out by playing around with it that all of the white rule fields require a rule before it can be built. Is the information for the "rules" contained within the wisdl or XML files and just needs to be added?

Thank you in advance!

I am a bit confused. Map import from XML is used to import a map that was exported as XML. Is that what you did?

First I received a WSDL. Then I clicked import --> typee tree from WSDL. This created my type tree but also created a .xml file at the same time. Then i clicked --> import map from XML and this created my mapping. I hope that explains it better.

Hi Jim,

Can you provide me the detail document that you have prepared on Web Services. I am new to this Webservice and like to do a POC on this.
Your help me must apprecaited.
