Webservice call using WSDL

Former Member — Mon, 16 Jun 2008 18:52:17 GMT

Hi All,

How we can make use of the WSDL file for calling the Webservice from outside the SAP system? I have a RFC FM pointed to a service definition and I have the WSDL file with me.

Can you please guide me how I can make use of this WSDL for the Webservice call?

Thanks for your help in advance.

Thanks,

Greetson

Now that it is exposed, it can be called by anything that can comsume a web service. For example, in java or .net, you could simply consume this service. Also, for testing purposes, you could consume this in that same ABAP system, by creating a ABAP web service proxy class.

Hello Rich,

Thanks for your immediate response. What are the steps we need to follow for creating the Proxy object in SE80 I see four options HTTP, UDDI, Localfile & XI repository. What is the expansion for each of these???

How we can call the WSDL from ABAP or from .NET??? do you know the steps???? of we need to talk to a respective platform developer???

Thanks for your help .

Hi, yes, since you have the WSDL, then you could simply use "Local File" option, and then select your WDL, the proxy will then be generated based on the WSDL. Then the ABAPer or .net guy can call this proxy using the proxy class. You should get with the developer to call these, if you are not familar with it.

Hello Rich,

I had tried the Local file option for the WSDL that I have for the following Blog Service definition:

/people/thomas.jung3/blog/2005/01/05/develop-a-web-service-that-sends-an-email--in-abap

But i am getting the fellowing error :

Proxy generation terminated: Message must have exactly one part

Message no. SPRX046

Background

During proxy generation, an interface description in WSDL format is

fetched from the Integration Builder or another source and interpreted.

This WSDL document must describe the whole interface correctly.

==> Display WSDL Document

Diagnosis

In a WSDL document, a <message> must contain exactly one <part>,

therefore:

</message>

In this instance, a <message> has no <part> or multiple <part> entries.

Proxy generation cannot process such messages.

System response

Proxy generation is terminated.

What might be the issue?

looks like the ESDL file that I Have has one or more <part> tag in it.

Following is my XLM file code :
