We are trying to catalog our internal web services. These have been
developed and deployed by different groups over the past several years, and
we have no repository of them available - UDDI or otherwise (or this wouldn't
have been a question... :-]). There are a couple hundred servers where a web
service could have been deployed.
Visual Studio will of course show available web services on an individual
URL, but in some cases we may have multiple URL's on servers.
Is there an easy way to request or find all web services on our network?
Any utilities, code snippets, pointers/hints?
TIA,
Tore
Hi Tore,
From your description, you're looking for some means to find all the
webservices on some servers in your local network environment, correct?
Based on my experience, if you haven't originally catalog them, there
hasn't any existing or built-in tools to do them. .NET framework 1.1/2.0
provide a "disco.exe" which can help detect published webservices on
certain server, however, it require the service to be published in .disco
document.
#Web Services Discovery Tool (Disco.exe)

For other approaches, so far what I can get is use some crawler application
to crawl all the asmx endpoints among all the server machines in your local
environmente.

Yes, that is what I am looking for. As I continue digging, I encounter more
obstacles - mostly security related. Each web service (or server) may
require different permissions and/or only be available from specific IP
addresses, or it may or may not be in a DMZ.
Unless someone knows a better way, I guess we'll be issuing survey documents
to be filled out manually... :-[
Thanks,
Tore

Thanks for your reply Tore,
Yes, I can imagine that for a net environment with many servers, permission
will surely be a big problem.
If you have any further questions or any other ideas, welcome to post here.
