| Abstract: | Required information when reporting errors loading WSDL source into the LANSA Integrator SOAP Agent Wizard |
| Submitted By: | LANSA Technical Support |
Description:
As part of reporting an issue that involves loading a WSDL source* into the LANSA Integrator SOAP Agent Wizard, customers will be asked to demonstrate that the WSDL source* can be loaded successfully into a 3rd party SOAP testing tool. Two freely available and widely accepted SOAP testing tools that can be used are Microsoft's .Net Webservice studio and SOAPUI (http://www.soapui.org/). A screen capture will be sufficient to indicate that there were no errors when loading the WSDL source into one of these tools.
- If customers can demonstrate that the WSDL source does load without errors into the 3rd party tool, then LANSA will investigate the problem as a valid SOAP Agent Wizard issue.
- If customers cannot demonstrate that WSDL source does load without
errors into the 3rd party tool, then this will not be
accepted as a LANSA SOAP Agent
Wizard exclusive issue. In these cases, the customer will be given a choice:
- Resolving the problem themselves with their trading partner
- Having a LANSA SOAP services specialist resolve the issue as a billable assignment.
* WSDL Source
The fundamental pre-requisite for any SOAP Agent Project is to have the WSDL file that describes the web service you want to use.
WSDL stands for Web Services Description Language and is a universal language used to describe a web service.
The file, or its location, is provided by the organization that publishes the web service.
