I am working with Visual Studio 2008 and SharePoint 2007. I have created a web part , a web user control that pulls data from a web service (binding a DropDownlist from web service) has been wrapped in my Web Part. When I deploy my web part it doesn't show me the data pulled from web service (Empty DropDownList). please advice how to use web parts that interacts with external web services.
Thanks a lot.

I have asp.net web service application created in VS 2010. I created this web service using ASP.NET Web Service Application template in VS 2010. My InfoPath form consumes my webservice. However to fill out my IP form, I first have to make sure I run my web service, otherwise I get errors like cannot connect to the webservice.
How can I make sure my web services are properly deployed to my SharePoint site that hosts infoPath form services? Please let me know the necessary steps. If my web services are deployed to my SharePoint site then there's no need to manually run my asp.net web service in the browser everytime I need to fill out the form. Thanks.
Here's the error message I got when I tried to browse my custom web service deployed to layouts folder:
http://abcd/_layouts/WebServiceDemo/MyCustomWebService.asmx
I couldn't find relevant message in 14-->LOGS. Any idea what's causing this? Thanks.
My own analysis: Please visit the web.config inside LAYOUTS folder and set Customerros to Off to get more meaningful error message.
I Googled "How to consume asp.net web service in SharePoint site".
The third hit was Walkthrough: Creating a Custom ASP.NET (ASMX) Web Service in SharePoint 2010. The post shows how to create, deploy and consume the service.
I have created a Web Service in Net Beans 6.9 and deploy it locally. And I am using it via a java SE application by adding Web Service client in this application. How to obtain the link of the Web Serice so that it can be used from anywhere ?
2) From where to obtain WSDL file of Web Service ?
3) How to host a Web Service on the internet ?
Thank a ton in advance..!!!
You could create a new project of type web application in Netbeans.
In the web application, you will then create a web service (NOT a web service client).
For publishing and testing the web application, you will have to deploy it to a web server (e.g. GlassFish).
After publishing the web application, the WSDL file will be typically located at: http://localhost:<port>/<your web app>/<your service>?wsdl
For GlassFish, the default port is 8080.
If your current Netbeans installation doesn't support web projects or you don't have GlassFish installed, I suggest you download and install the latest version of Netbeans with Java EE support (bundled Apache Tomcat and GlassFish server in the same setup).

Hosting SOAP web services on the internet at large has not been terribly successful. For example Google had SOAP based web services initially, and they switched to REST based services in the end. You may want to reconsider and deploy a REST based interface. If the bulk of your code is not embedded in the web service, then you should not have that difficult of a time switching the interface.
To deploy a SOAP or a REST web service, you would need to deploy a 'full' Java EE container (e.g. Glassfissh or JBoss) on a machine with access to the internet. You might virtual hosting e.g. Westhost, Amazon, or there are turnkey solutions like Heroku (note: I'm not endorsing any of the companies listed here; they're just examples). If you just want to deploy a REST based service, any web container will do e.g. Tomcat or Jetty. In addition to services mentioned above you could probably host a rest web service on any service that will let you upload a war file.
I am looking at SharePoint web services and would like to know the best way to work with web parts. I have figured out most of the other stuff we will need but the functionality around web parts and the SharePoint Web Services seems complicated. So how do I
Retrieive a particular web part with HTML content? Is this possible?
Find out what web parts are on what pages?
I know that I can get the rendered html for an entire page through web services (although why that is exactly useful when you can retrieve the web page directly I'm not sure.) but would like to know if it is possible to embed web parts in external web sites through SharePoint Web Services.
"Web parts" are a means of "programming" Sharepoint. They are to Sharepoint much like "controls" are to Visual Basic, or "views" are to Android.
They're a creature of Sharepoint - I can't imagine you'd use them on an Apache server on a Linux host, for example.
Sharepoint web services, however, are intended to be a good way for Sharepoint to communicate with non-Microsoft technologies (like Java, for example).
If your "application" involves a heterogeneous mix of web servers and platforms, then Web Services is probably the way to go.
If your "application" resides exclusively on the Sharepoint server, and your "clients" just browse to it (preferably, browse to it with IE), then web parts might be a good choice.
I try to develop simple web service to liferay 6.1. I follow such manuals as http://www.liferay.com/de/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Creating+Liferay+6+plugin+web+service
and http://liferay-blogging.blogspot.com/2011/04/how-to-create-services-in-liferay.html
Portlet creates successfully, but service does not appear in /api/secure/axis
Portlet specific web services do not appear in /api/secure/axis, but can be found at /your-portlet/api/axis. Those web service URLs have changed in Liferay 6.1.
Is it possible for a SharePoint 2010 Web Part to expose a web service (WCF?)?
I want a Web Part to send emails if a certain condition is met. The web part should be hit every 15 mins via a call initiated from a custom in-house scheduler.
Cheers
A web part is just a visual component. It can expose a web service. However, custom web services can be created and deployed to SharePoint where you can access data from a site (a list maybe) and add custom logic to send the email.
Here's a good guide on how to deploy web services to SharePoint.
