What URL do I post to for Live Search SOAP service? - web-services

Its possible I am just really really thick. However, looking over the SDK for the live search (MSN search) that uses SOAP, doesn't tell me what URL the service is at?? I can download SDKs for C# or VB which probably encapsulate, but that doesn't help me (I am using ruby).
http://search.live.com/developer/

The URL you need is: http://soap.search.live.com/webservices.asmx
Additional info on various tools you could use to discover endpoints from WSDL:
If you have VS, you can discover the endpoint by adding a Web Service Reference to a C# console project and then opening the app.config file and looking for the <endpoint> element.
To add the Web Service Reference for the Live Search web service, point the wizard to the WSDL at http://soap.search.live.com/webservices.asmx?wsdl.
Alternatively, you can use the svcutil.exe tool from .Net 3.0 to generate C# client wrapper and a .config file from the WSDL. Again, you are interested in the <endpoint> from the generate config.

Wsdl file changed on new server

We have deployed our webservice in liberty server.Earlier it was on IBM WAS. After deploying in liberty, we came to know that Webservices is running on CXF webservice framework. In WAS, it was Axis framework.
Another difference is that , changes happened in wsdl url & content. The old wsdl url is http://localhost:8080/Hello/HelloServices/Helloservices.wsdl and it contains xsd schema definition.
In the liberty server above wsdl url is not working and throwing file not found. But if we try to invoke http://localhost:8080/Hello/HelloServices?wsdl it's working.
Could anyone tell why old url is not working in New server. Is it due to server or inbuilt cxf framework in server.
Another team is using wsdl url to consume this webservice, with this new url they are not able to achieve it.
Any thoughts or suggestions are appreciated..
Thanks in Advance
The main reason for this is the change in the JAX-WS implementations used by the different WebSphere profiles. CXF, unfortunately, hard codes the WSDL url to append ?wsdl in several locations and so this is something that is not possible to change in configuration. The easiest solution would to add a ServletFilter to check the incoming request url for http://localhost:8080/Hello/HelloServices/Helloservices.wsdl and then redirect the request to http://localhost:8080/Hello/HelloServices/Helloservices?wsdl.
There's a good SO post that shows how to write a ServletFilter to redirect here:
How to use a servlet filter in Java to change an incoming servlet request url?
The other option would be to have the client side update either their code or configuration to account for the change to the WSDL URL.

Generating a WCF client for MODIS Web Service

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.

WSDL for WSO2 ESB proxy service

I have done a few use cases on WSO2-ESB including protocol mediation with transformation and service-chaining.
In all of them I had to manually write the wsdl for the proxy service. Having experienced other vendor products including Oracle and Tibco where wsdl generation is done by the tool.
Would it be right to assume in WSO2 ESB one needs to manually write the wsdl file to expose a proxy service on any protocol, do not see any documents calling that out.
Considering the usage of wsdl in practical use cases.
I have seen posts stating "you can give the WSDL available at your Axis2 service" but most of real time use cases would not be pass through and have custom request and response.
Thanks,
Wajid
I'm also confused with manual wsdl creation. As far as I can see there are gaps in wsdl proxy description. When I do wsdl proxy with WSO2 I have to indicate wsdl to expose
its either as:
"none" and I have only mediate function exposed
"same contract" and this breaks the whole idea of proxy because after that clients read original wsdl and go straight to original server access point.
or and I have several options to make my own wsdl.
With rich SOAP API (hundreds of methods) none of above work well, considering that manual support of exposed WSDL is rather cumbersome.
I wonder if there is more adequate way for proxying WSDL?
You can use java2wsdl generator tool to achieve the WSDL generation.
For the proxies, if you try to restrict access for some operations in your backend service, you can attach customized wsdl to the proxy.
The customization has to be done by yourself and it is simple..
If you want to generate a wsdl fro your service, jsut deploy the service in wso2as, and check the service dashboard, wsdl option to view the wsdls.

WS security Coldfusion

Working on a docuSign integration with Coldfusion and need assistance in making the SOAP request using WS security.
Your question is a little short on detail, but I presume you mean the Web Services SOAP security extension.
We had to do this a few years back when communicating with a .NET web service. The basic idea is that you provide a set of extra SOAP headers that contains security info such as:
Timestamp
Username
Password
Etc
To do this you need to create a new XML document as per the standard defined here. Next you will need to write code to create the SOAP headers. This means:
Create your remote web service object, e.g.
var objWebSvc = createObject("webservice", "http://remoteURL?WSDL");
Creating an XML document to represent the new headers
Populating it with the required info (such as username and timestamp etc.)
Adding the XML document to the web service object, using addSOAPRequestHeader()
Call your remote web service
Then of course if and when they call your web service you'll need to parse out those headers from their SOAP request and validate them. That can be done by grabbing the XML using getSOAPRequestHeader() and parsing out the info.
I found this to be an error prone task and (basically) a royal pain. The web service we integrated with eventually dropped the requirement, apparently becuase the any web services trying to connect that were not native .NET were having a hard time implementing the specification.
Good luck!
I blogged this a while back. See if this helps:
