Ho would I call a Web Service (WCF) method in c# please?
I've got a Web Service and now I would like to consume it in a another Web Service method.
You could call it as a client. For this you have to add a service reference in the other service and then contact the previous one.
Run first service -> go to second service -> right click on references -> add service reference -> type the link to the first webservice and search then add it.
After your service has connected you can call the other one.
WCF.wcfServiceClient client = new WCF.wcfServiceClient("BasicHttpBinding_IwcfService");
client.Method();

I was trying to deploy a back-end web service to IBM Message Broker. Then create a Java client to call Broker, which in turn calls the back-end web service.
If the Java client can call Broker, then so can any other Java app.
The IBM documentation on the subject is massive. So here are the steps that I took, plus a couple of issues I struggled with, and then resolved.
Two useful links:
Setting up a flow:

Deploying a flow:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wmbhelp/v7r0m0/index.jsp?topic=%2Fcom.ibm.etools.mft.doc%2Faa40160_.htm
Create a new Application.
Within the Application, create a new Message Flow.
On the flow workspace, on the left menu column, select Web Services.
Select a SOAPInput, SOAPRequest, SOAPReply.
Connect the input to the request, and the output of the request to the reply.
When you double-click on the Request, it will be looking for a WSDL. Select import/create new at the bottom of the window. On the next window, select the bottom option to select a WSDL from outside the environment. Paste in the entire URL to your back-end web service.
Click next and finish on the following windows to get back to the Flow work space.
One point that I struggled with and was not obvious in the documentation, is that you will need to create a new flow for each method in your back-end web service.
In the SOAPRequest properties, set the "binding operation" to the method behind that flow.
Once you build and deploy the bar, you can right-click anywhere on the Flow work space and select Test...
The test tool will display the WSDL of the web service that is deployed to your Broker instance. You can grab that WSDL and use Ant or Maven to create a Java client and call your web service (which in turn calls the back-end service)
That's not strictly speaking true, you can route to a label based on the operation name in the wsdl or even use the SOAPInput node in generic gateway mode. Generally you'll want a flow per "service" not per method.
Working on a project where I need to consume a web service over HTTPS (SSL) using Domino 8.0.2.
Was able to create the script library to consume the web service.
Created a simple button to test consuming it with this code:
Use "AA-FEED"
Sub Click(Source As Button)
Dim ws1 As New IAccountService_n1
Dim r1 As New ArrayOfValidSystem_n2
Set r1 = ws1.GetValidSystemsList()
End Sub
When called, Notes prompts for me to Cross Certify with your server, which I do.
That is to be expected.
Click on 'Cross Certify" button and then the web service is contacted and returns an error message:
"The Web Service IAccountService_n1 method GetValidSystemsList has returned a fault."
So...
The provider of the web serivce says when it is consumed in Java, they add certifier information to the soap header.
Not sure if the Cross Certify actions in Lotus would do equlivent in LotusScript.
If the WebService requires authentication, in your generated web service consumer code, add the following after the webservice initialize call:
Sub NEW
Call Service.Initialize ("UrnDefaultNamespaceWSQueryService", ...
'ADD THE FOLLOWING
'set userid and password if required
Call Service.SetCredentials("userid","password")
'set SSL options
Call Service.SetSSLOptions(NOTES_SSL_ACCEPT_SITE_CERTS + NOTES_SSL_ACCEPT_EXPIRED_CERTS)
Web services in LotusScript has a Java component to it when communicating (uses AXIS).
It might be that you have to put the certificate into the CACERTS. The following wiki article explains this.

Right now i'm developing a composite application using Open ESB. I got my
application tested through a test case by sending a request SOAP message,
and it works great.
The problem is, i want my composite application to be able to be used like
a webservice so i could call the composite application from Python using SOAPpy,
not by sending an edited SOAP message like in the test case.
How can i achieve that? Should i invoke the BPEL process from a webservice?
I already read "A Gentle Introduction: Exploring OpenESB" and "Building SOA-Based
Composite Applications Using NetBeans IDE 6". Both of the books create an interface
for the composite application, not using the composite application like a webservice.
Thanks in advance,
Well, by definition, each BPEL process is rendered as a Web service. In other words: the only possibility to invoke a BPEL process is to invoke the web service interface provided by the BPEL process (the myRole of the partnerlink that is used for inbound message activties). When your test case also submits a SOAP message to the BPEL process, any other Web service client can do the same.
Sorry for late answer but this can help other users.
Of course they will not use the composite applications as web service simply because it - the composite app - is a client consuming the web service that you have defined using the BPEL ( Business Process Execution LANGUAGE ).
Now the question is, how to get the wsdl for our web service ?
Answer :
go to your composite application
select " wsdl ports " select the wsdl that you have created in "BPEL MODEL" project.
right click => properties => location , then copy location value
replace {httpdefaultport} by 9080
add ?wsdl to the end of the location
I have 2 different webservices running on 2 different tomcat application servers (w/ axis2 web service engine) (Webservice A runs on Server A and Webservice B runs on Server B).
How can web service A on Server A pass Data A (file) to Web Service B on Server B? I am new to web services and would appreciate any help in this regard. The webservices are in Java.
Thanks!
Service A needs to be a client of service B. Service B should expose some method service A will consume (and pass required data using it). The process is as follows:
If suitable service method doesn't exist yet in service B then add new method to service B's WSDL file.
Regenerate intefaces from extended WSDL file.
Create functional test for new service method .
Make service A a consumer of method of new (extended) service.
Create acceptance tests for service A methods using service B's method :-)
Implement new service method in service B.
Implement conusmer logic in service A.
Expose a "send" web-service API on B and call it from A.
There are thousends of ways, but with HTTP Protocol you can use: POST or PUT methods.
However, you'll need to write application on each side...
I'm developing an application that includs a web service, on development time I run the service locally on my pc, than I publish the service to a remote server,
I wanna know how can I take the web reference that I got and just change the address of the service to the remote server to check that every thing is ok
You can set the service URL usign the Url property:
MyWebService.Service1 service = new MyWebService.Service1();
service.Url = NEWSERVICEURL;
Right click on your Web reference, click properties, and choose Url behavior: Dynamic in properies window. The URL of the Web service will be automatically mapped to a configuration option in the Web.config file that you can change easily, without recompilation:
