Access wsdls from the url instead of the file

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

Is it possible to access the wsdl with the help of url instead of giving the wsdl file for XI webservices.

Other platform wsdls we can access from the below type links..

http://<Host name>:7001/HelloProject/helloService?WSDL

yes it is possible

1. If your web service is deployed on Java stack....

In Browser write

http://host:port/index.html - java port

Go to Web Services Navigator

Select the web service that has been already deployed on server

Click the desired one..This will take you the page where you can find URL for WSLD.. click it you will able to see it in Browser

2. If web service is deployed on ABAP stack.. for example web service for RFC etc...

then go to wsadmin in ABAP stack

select your web service then press CTRL+F8

This will take you to page that will show you URL of web service...

This URL will contain HTTP port

Hi Sara,

First talk to your client and make sure that URL should be accessible from your system, otherwise you will not able to process any request on their server.

1 .Just copy the paste the service URL in your Browser. It should open service navigator without any error.

2. Also, you should ask for the WSDL to client otherwise you wont be able to map/pass on the Request Data to the Webservice.

Hi,

According to me through HTTP adapter you can acess the wsdl because its using http protocal.
