Error using WebService (WDSL)

Former Member — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 15:29:29 GMT

Hello SAP Guru's.

I try to connect in a WebService with soapUI and I have this error:

WSDLException (at /soap-env:Envelope): faultCode=INVALID_WSDL: Expected element '{http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/}definitions'.

This error occur if I use the SICF url: http://sapserver:8000/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/zpm_ws_read_avis/030/zpm_ws_read_avis/zpm_ws_read_avis

If I use this URL in SOAMANAGER: http://sapserver:8000/sap/bc/srt/wsdl/bndg_E2962623022527F18D6B005056BC0925/wsdl11/allinone/ws_policy/document?sap-client=030 it work!:

Why I can't use url from SICF?

Thanks for help!

Because the ICF URL is the service itself. SoapUI needs the WDSL in order to know how to use the service.

It worked once ... I think.

It's possible to create a ICF URL for use WSDL?

Not on standalone AS ABAP, as far as I know. You will require a service repository of somekind in order to have one entrypoint. Of course you could implement a ICF service that redirects to the WDSL one if the WDSL is requested and to the actual ICF service otherwise but that's another story.
