Generate WSDL from command line

[Yahor Sinkevich]

Is this possible to generate WSDL without WEB service deployment? Just during
build using command line tool?

Thanks

What would you generate it _from_?

 

[Yahor Sinkevich]

From class that implements WEB service, (class with attrribute WebService),
or asmx page.

I don't know of any existing command-line tool that would do this. Your best
bet might be to simply deploy the web service to a temporary web site on the
build machine, then get the WSDL from there. This would also allow you to
run unit tests against the built code, in a continuous integration scenario.

Thanks, I've already implement such tool myself. Problem solved.

I've written a tool that can directly generate a WSDL out of the Web
Service DLL (without hosting it in a web server). That works perfectly
during builds (and it is very fast).

It is here (look for GetWsdl)...

Maybe that helps.
