Hi

I understand, that the "normal way" in creating Web Services is:

Creating Web Service --> WSDL --> Creating Client

Unfortunately, I have to create a Web Service (Service, not Clinet) from an
existing WSDL.

Can somebody tell me, what's the right way to do this?

Any hint is much appreciated.

I don't think there is a tool to do it for you, although creating the client
will help you rough in any objects you have to use and give you the method
call for the service, so you can copy it into your service.

MapForce (Altova) can also be used to create services from the WSDL.

Take a look at wsdl.exe which lives down in the .NET folders. Throw your
wsdl at it, making sure to specify the /si parameter and you will get a
service (which I think is what you want). Actually you will get an
interface class which you can then use in another class which implements
that interface.

Basically, you will end up with all the methods that you need to react when
the service is called - you just need to add your functionality.

wsdl.exe is a bit of a picky beast - shout if you get stuck.
