Consume a webservice developed in other than coldfusion in WS-Security mode

[Guest]

1. What are the prerequisites (any software installation, configuration) to be considered ?

Requirement : To consume a Webservice developed in other than coldfusion in WS-Secuirty mode .

Environment used : Windows 2003, IIS 6, Coldfusion 8, SQl server 2005

2. While trying to consume a public webservice through coldfusion , We received unable to read WSDL file and Unknown host exception error.Can you please advise. why we are receiving this error and solution ?

Step 1 - make sure you have the correct url for the ws.  You can test this by browsing it.

Step 2- make sure you send it the arguments it expects with the datatypes it expects.

Thanks Dan Bracuk, for your reply.

What I could understand from Sivakarthikeyan post is that

Point 1)

It is mentioned that they are going to consume external webservices for which he would like to know whether any software/configuration is required to implement WS-Security (In IIS or coldfusion administrator)?

Point 2)

It could be a correct URL that he is using, from his description (2nd step) he gets a error message as "Unable to read WSDL file". If it of incorrect URL then he would have received file not found or other error message.

Can you please or anyone clarify?

Thanks,

Satheesh

Hi,

I assume, your orgranization's firewall might be blocking that webservice url / server.

Raise a firewall exception, and see if you are able to get the WSDL...
