Problem with WSDL in .NET Visual Studio

[Former Member]

I am trying to write a simple C# application using Visual Studio 2008 that accesses a web service in the ES Workplace at sdn.sap.com. (WSDL Porttype Name - CustomerERPSimpleByIDQueryResponse_In)

I have two problems:

1) Understanding which WSDL I should import into my project. Under the General Tab, there's a WSDL URL and there's a different WSDL on the Endpoints Tab. Why are there two WSDLs and what's the difference between them?

2) After importing EITHER WSDL into my project, neither one seems to create a proxy object that implements the correct method. Normally when I import a non-ES Workplace WSDL and instantiate the proxy object that was created, I can see the methods the web service provides.

Any help or guidance will be appreciated.

Hi,

Can you put the address of WSDL?

My apologies... I should have included that in the original post.

Here's the one on the General Tab

http://erp.esworkplace.sap.com/sap/bc/srt/wsdl/sdef_ECC_CUSTOMERERPSIMPLEBYIDQR/wsdl11/ws_policy/doc...

And on the Endpoints Tab

http://erp.esworkplace.sap.com/sap/bc/srt/xip/sap/ecc_customererpsimplebyidqr/version2?sap-client=80...

Why are there 2?

Thanks,

Hi,

I can't access to second link, because may S user is blocked, but have 2 version because the first is a normal WSDL and the second is a WSDL mode SAP, if you see, the second have wsdl:import sentences. Some proxy generators don't work with this format.

Hi,

The first WSDL has presented a error when i've tried to generate a proxy using Java Axis, only with SAP classes was possible.

The error was on Policy tags on wsdl.

So does that mean then that the WSDL SAP uses for it's ESOA services can't be used to generate a proxy class in Microsoft's Visual Studio?

That seems a little odd consrdering MS and SAP are supposed to be good neighbors.

Hi,

I can't say about Visual Studio, but i know that tools like Axis for Java can't generated WSDL on sap mode directly.

I've seen some references to .NET with this same problem, but it is a old message.

Have a workaround to it:

Best regards
