.NET Forum / ASP.NET / Web Services / April 2007Consuming ColdFusion Web Service
I've been writing Web services and assemblies that consume web services successfully for some time now. However, I need to consume a web service from a vendor that was written in Cold Fusion and it's not working... The Web Service reference gets created ok. It's name is CMWebService. The problem I have is after building the reference there is no name space for CMWebService so I can't instantiate the service. Does anyone know why this would occur for this Cold Fusion Web service or a way to get around the issue?  SignatureRegards, Gary Blakely Gary, Are you using VB.NET? If so, what is the "default namespace" of the project in vs.net? (right click project -> properties). vb projects append this namespace to all class files in the project, so try creating your proxy class with the namespace attached. If that does not work, you can compile the proxy as a library, reference the library. Perhaps you can work backwards from there.

It's C# and it does not exist within the project namespace. It doesn't exist at all.

It doesn't > exist at all. Under the covers, vs.net's "add web reference" uses wsdl.exe. You could run wsdl.exe against your web service to gen a proxy and include the resulting .cs file in your project rather than using "add web ref" - at least to get *something* working. If you want to keep using the "add web reference", located the "Reference.cs" file that is generated and find the namespace used. HTH, Damon I found an example at the code project on doing exactly that. I get... Error: unable to import binding 'login.cfcSoapBinding' from namespace from 'http://web_service.dealers' I'm suspecting that their wsdl is somehow malformed SignatureRegards, Gary Blakely >> It's C# and it does not exist within the project namespace.

[quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > HTH, > Damon Hi Gary, As the wsdl.exe report the following error: ============ Error: unable to import binding 'login.cfcSoapBinding' from namespace from 'http://web_service.dealers' ============= the ColdFusion service's WSDL document seems contains some incorrect binding elements or the certain binding element is pointing to some other invalid external link. Also, the "add webreference" apparently fail to generate the proxy class. Is it possible for us to access the service WSDL document over public url or can you post a local copy of the WSDL document? We can perform some test locally to see what's the exact problem in it.

Steven, The cold fusion developers found it to be a bug and they got it fixed. apparently is was malformed wsdl. SignatureRegards, Gary Blakely > Hi Gary, > [quoted text clipped - 43 lines] > This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no > rights. Thanks for your followup Gary, Glad that the WSDL document will be corrected. Sincerely, Steven Cheng Microsoft MSDN Online Support Lead This posting is provided "AS IS" with no warranties, and confers no rights. After reading through, it sounds like there is a bit of malformed (or potentially not MS formed) WSDL. You will likely have to tweak the definition yourself. One idea is to grab the WSDL and run WSDL.exe and see if it is blowing up. If not, find the particular error and look at how it seems to be expected the particular element (in the MS generated proxy stub WSDL). Then, talk to the CF guys and figure out their implementation. You can then edit the WSDL on yoru end to match what they think they are expecting. That will likely cure your issues, if it is merely the service. One of the problems you mentioned sounded like you were not actually getting the service set up correctly in your code (web reference incorrect?). Look at the proxy class and "fix" your code to match the class definition, if this is still an issue. SignatureGregory A.
