Connecting a Perl Web Service to ASP.Net

[josh]

Hi All,

I have been looking on the internet for a solution to this problem for some
time now with no luck, could you guys help me.

I have a perl web service running on a linux box. In my ASP.Net
application i want to be able to call this method as a web refrence, I have
written a WSDL as an interface between the two platforms.

When I try to refrence this WSDL using asp.net i get the following error
message: "The proxy settings on this computer are not configured correctly
for web discovery. Click the Help button for more information."

If anyone could help it would be greatly appreciated,

Josh.


THE WSDL

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<definitions name="sms" targetNamespace = "http://tempuri.org/wsdl/"
xmlns:wsdlns="http://tempuri.org/wsdl/"

Josh, you wrote,

When I try to refrence this WSDL using asp.net ...

What exactly do you mean by that statement?
What are you trying to do?
Are you using a tool, if so which one?
If it is in code, then show us the code?


After you fix the first problem, you will run into the second problem: the
WSDL you provided is broken.
It references a namespace prefix (xsdl), and types within that namespace,
which are never defined.
It includes references to namespaces which are never used.

Building a WSDL that corresponds to a given pre-existing web service, such
as one built in Perl with SOAP::Lite or whatever, is tricky.
Without toolkit support for WSDL - in other words support for
auto-generating WSDL from SOAP::Lite, or support for generating a SOAP::Lite
skeleton from an existing WSDL -- There is no guarantee that the WSDL you
write will match the service you write. Getting them to match is tricky.
