WSDL.EXE - Cannot create proxy file

Hi

This is my first post, and I am very new to web services so forgive me if I don't express this too well.

I have been given the job of creating a client application to connect to an existing external web service. I have been provided with the wsdl, xsd and various other example xml files.

The application will need to pick up an XML file from the local network and pass it through the webservice.

I am trying to create a proxy by using the Visual Studio 2005 command prompt.

wsdl /o:BulkClaim.cs D:\PCOLBulkClaim\BulkClaim.wsdl

It fails stating

ERROR: Unable to import binding 'BulkClaimSoapBinding' from namespace 'http://uk.gov.dca.pcol.webservice.bulkclaim.service/BulkClaim

-Unable to import operation 'processMortgageClaim'

- The datatype 'http://xml.apache.org/xml-soap:Element' is missing

If anyone can point me in the right direction I would be very grateful.

Thanks

Marc

Hi Pablo

Thanks for the reply. I have pasted the WSDL content below. Really grateful for any help I can get.

Hi Guys

Thanks for the replies. Sorry for the delayed response but I have been away for a bit.

I am planning to resume work on this tomorrow so I will let you know how I get on with the workarounds etc.

Thanks

Marc

Did you get anywhere with this I'm developing the same application for a different firm and getting the same error

Thanks

Hi,

I have modified your wsdl, perhaps this can help you a little more, the old problem is fixed but I have a new one ...

Have fun

Hi and thanks for your reply.

Could you tell me the syntax for this I have a few XSD files in C:\projects\PCOL\ along with the WSDL file in the same folder.

I've had a look around the web but can't seem to find anything that uses local xsd files.

Thanks in advance

open a command window and go to

C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio .NET\FrameworkSDK\Bin\

type wsdl and it will give you all the options. If you're wantign a C# file then the systax would be

wsdl /o:BulkClaim.cs D:\PCOLBulkClaim\BulkClaim.wsdl

Good Luck

Nabil
