Generating a WCF client for MODIS Web Service - web-services

I want to create a WCF client for MODIS Web Service available on this website: http://daac.ornl.gov/MODIS/MODIS-menu/modis_webservice.html There is a link to WSDL file, which can I use to generate proxy class. The problem is, that this file is somehow malformed, I cannot create clients with .NET tools like Add Service Reference, wsdl.exe or svcutil.exe. When I try to generate proxy class through website, I get following response:
I've tried to download the WSDL file and create proxy class from local copy, but then I've got this error:
These errors are the same for Add Service Reference and for console output of wsdl.exe and svcutil.exe utils. Is there any other way to create a WCF client to this service or is it impossible in .NET?
EDIT-----
I've managed that the problem occurs, becouse the WSDL is in RPC/Endoded standard and .NET tools cannot handle it properly. I've tried to convert it to Document/literal standard but it's still not working. Can somebody look at my WSDL file and check what I have wrong? It's available under this link: https://wklej.to/67rR7

removing wsdl:documentation blocks inside the element
tags helps to generating codes via svcutil.exe or wsdl.exe.
Baseline for this solution
Hopes this helps.

WSO2 ESB Identity Server and Web Service Client

I'm refering to the following article
http://wso2.com/library/articles/2010/10/using-xacml-fine-grained-authorization-wso2-platform/
I would like to use the sample echoService from the WSO2 AS over a secured proxy in WSO2 ESB in combination with the Identity Server for fine-grained authorization. All the settings mentioned on this page seem to work, however I am stuck concerning the client part. I use NetBeans and the given client code, but the .jars in the classpath there have older versions then the ones in the current version of WSO2 IS, so I started to exchange them manually. Now I get some exceptions like
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.xml.security.transforms.Transform.init()V
and I am stuck again. I just want to test the echoService in this constellation and send some string over the ESB via IS and receive the response(if I have the appropriate role) from the AS, is there not another client or how could I test it else?
Thank you!
I can suggest you 3 options:
Use SoapUI to test the service which is the easiest way to test a web service.
Generate the stub for the service and have stub as the dependency in your client. You can use the WSDL2Java tool that ship with AS. Loging to AS --> Tools in left pane --> WSDL2Java --> Provide the wsdl URL and generate the stub jar.
Generate correct dependency libs. Go to [IS-Home]/bin folder, and issue that command "ant" to run the build.xml, this will copy all required libs to [IS-HOME]/repository/lib/ folder. Have them in your class path.

Unauthorized HTTP request with Anonymous authentication of SAP PI service

I have a .WSDL file from our client company, for which I need to use to call a web service. Their system is SAP (SAP PI). My application is a C# .NET 3.5 client developed in VS 2008. I added a Service Reference in Visual Studio using their provided .WSDL file. This created a reference class for me to use to call their service, and set up several bindings in the app.config file for me.
I did not change anything in the app.config file, but did create code to call their web service. However, when I call their webservice, I receive the following exception:
The HTTP request is unauthorized with client authentication scheme 'Anonymous'. The authentication header received from the server was 'Basic realm="SAP NetWeaver Application Server ..."'.
(I modified slightly the string used in the 'Basic realm' section so as to not give it out.)
Did the app.config not get built correctly from the WSDL? Am I supposed to modify the app.config file somehow?
Things I've tried:
changed authenticationScheme in app.config from Anonymous to Basic
(as well as all the other authentication types)
changed realm string in app.config to match the realm in the exception message
set username/pw fields in the ClientCredentials.Username object in my code
Any pointers or help would be appreciated.
Edit: After some more investigation, I found that Visual Studio has several warnings about the extension element Policy and Policy assertions:
Custom tool warning: The optional WSDL extension element 'Policy'
from namespace 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/policy' was not
handled.
Custom tool warning: The following Policy Assertions were not Imported:
XPath://wsdl:definitions[#targetNamespace='urn:sap-com:document:sap:rfc:functions']/wsdl:binding[#name='Binding_FieldValidation']
Assertions: ...
I wasnt able to find out if this was related or not to my current issue with the authentication scheme. It does seem to be related, but I havent been able to find any solutions to getting these policy warnings resolved either. It seems WCF doesnt handle the statements in the wsdl very well.
Most SAP services dont support anonymous.
So pass some form of authentication data with the call.
User and password / X.509 Ticket...
If you are sending auth data with the call the try this
Ask the SAP guy to regenerate the WSDL with
No SAP assertions, No policy, SOAP 1.1.
You can also try and edit the WSDL by hand to remove the extra guff...
As a starting point, I'd verify that you can call the service successfully with the provided username and password. Use something like SoapUI to test that everything works correctly - just create a new project, import the WSDL provided by SAP PI, set the username and password and execute the call. You'll probably get some form of exception with an empty payload, but at least that'll verify that the username and password are correct.
Once you've verified that's working, check that your application is calling the service correctly and that the http basic authentication headers are being sent. You can confirm this by using a network monitoring tool and checking that the http request is being generated correctly. Something like netcat for Windows can do it - just make it listen to a port on your local machine and then specify localhost and the port as your SOAP endpoint.
Once you've verified both of those are correct, your call should succeed.
There must be the Basic authentication header missing or something wrong
with the credentials.
SAP PI always defaults to Basic Authentication if a Service is published via it's SOAP Adapter. I would investigate if WCF really does send out that header (e.g. Point your client endpoint to TCP Gateway and let TCP Gateway point to the SAP PI Endpoint from the WSDL).
About the Warnings: AFAIK the WSDL generated by SAP PI will always contain these Policy Tags, you can't really ommit it. What you can do is simply throw them out as they are not really validated

Send/Receive a SOAP request using SPRING JAVA

I am new to Spring web services. I am going to create an xml request, and send it as a SOAP request to a web service and receive the response.I read different documents but still confused as I could not find a working sample yet.
I know that I should use WebServiceTemplate and WebServiceMessageSender, SaajSoapmessageFactory (please let me know if I am wrong) but not sure how to use them.
Do I need WSDL? if yes why?
If you have any sample code please send me to get clear on it.
Thanks
If you want to send SOAP requests, you would like to be a SOAP client. Seems like you want to use spring-ws project. Check out their great documentation on the client side. The same documentation will guide you through the process of creating a server. There are plenty of examples and ready-made configuration snippets waiting for you.
Spring-WS is built on top of XML Schema description of your message, so you will need WSDL to generate e.g. JAXB models of your requests and responses.
AFAIK, for "web services" , the WSDL file is the machine blueprint of the "ports" as they are called However! ports in WSDL "means" java language(or any other programming language used with a routine or sub or procedure or function) method and has a specific naming scheme associate the .wsdl xml file(template of the service). Each WSDL port(language method) has specifications of return value and data specifications for how to feed it arguments and their type values.

Spring Web Services - WSDL

In your wsdl, is it possible to connect directly to the wsdl(i.e - http://(url)?wsdl.
When I copy the wsdl locally to src/main/resources - I am able to connect generate objects including Web Service client, but when I try to connect to the WSDL that I copied from, I cannot generate. Perhaps I am not understanding QName and wsdllocation and even port for that matter.
I have searched fairly extensively on the web and there aren't that many clear cut examples. I know WebServiceTemplate makes things a LOT easier but without connecting to the WSDL, I cannot connect.
All I am trying to do is connect to the client. So it is a question more about Endpoints.
Also is it best practice to copy the WSDL locally. I am asking this because the client that we are working for has a 100 million environments.
Thanks.
Thanks
WSDL url will be like http://localhost:8080/<< Context-Name >>/<< ServiceName >>?wsdl
If you are generating the wsdl by running a server, then localhost:, should be given. If its a direct wsdl file, then try right clicking and opening it using a web browser. It will simply give you the link. You can use the same link to produce client stubs too.

Is there a way to connect to a soap webservice without using a web reference in C#?

is there some library out there that will accept the url of the soap wsdl file, and then generate me the proxy classes and what not at runtime? Web references are getting to be somewhat inconvenient for my particular situation.
Thanks.
Web Services Description Language Tool (Wsdl.exe) is what you want.
The following command creates a client proxy class in the C# language for an XML Web service located at the specified URL. The tool saves the client proxy class in the file myProxyClass.cs.
wsdl /out:myProxyClass.cs http://hostServer/WebserviceRoot/WebServiceName.asmx?WSDL
