Consuming an external web service with WAS 6.40

[Former Member]

Hi all,

I know this thread isn’t 100% XI forum related, my apologies for that. However, I believe somebody here has experience with this subject.

I’m trying to consume an external web service through WAS 6.40 with se80. When I try to create my proxy object <u>“package Choose Create > Enterprise Service / Web Service > Proxy Object > URL type</u>”, I receive an error message (SPRX084) -> <i>During proxy generation, an interface description in WSDL format is fetched from the integration builder or from another source and interpreted. This WSDL document must describe the whole interface correctly.</i>

I don’t have sure, but it seams something within WSDL object/element. Nevertheless, these external web services are working well with other third party client applications, why SAP WAS can’t take this WSDL?

Anyone has faced an issue like this one?

Thanks in advance,

Ricardo.

Hi,

some tools do not generate WSDLs correcty (not with all the standards

or with obsolete parts) and then in ABAP you cannot generate a proxy from it

you should be able to see the some more details in disgnosis section

sometimes you just have to change one or two things in the WSDL

and it will be ok for WAS but you need to find the exect cause

of the error - it can be done by debugging

Regards,

michal
