If you&#39;re using Eclipse, just have your WSDL in a .wsdl file, eclipse will validate it automatically.

From the [Doc][1]

&gt; The WSDL validator handles validation
&gt; according to the 4 step process
&gt; defined above. Steps 1 and 2 are both
&gt; delegated to Apache Xerces (and XML
&gt; parser). Step 3 is handled by the WSDL
&gt; validator and any extension namespace
&gt; validators (more on extensions below).
&gt; Step 4 is handled by any declared
&gt; custom validators (more on this below
&gt; as well). Each step must pass in order
&gt; for the next step to run.


  [1]: http://wiki.eclipse.org/WSDL_Validator

You can try using one of their tools: [http://www.ws-i.org/deliverables/workinggroup.aspx?wg=testingtools][1]

These will check both WSDL validity and [Basic Profile 1.1][2] compliance.

If you would to validate WSDL programatically then you use WSDL Validator out of eclipse. http://wiki.eclipse.org/Using_the_WSDL_Validator_Outside_of_Eclipse should help or try this tool Graphical WSDL 1.1/2.0 editor.

you might want to look at the online version of [xsv][1]

My questions is simple!

 1. Would you start learning Smalltalk if you had the time? Why? Why not?
 2. Do you already know Smalltalk? Why would you recommend Smalltalk? Why not?

Personally I&#39;m a Ruby on Rails programmer and I really like it. However, I&#39;m thinking about Smalltalk because I read various blogs and some people are calling Ruby something like &quot;Smalltalk Light&quot;. The second reason why I&#39;m interested in Smalltalk is [Seaside][1].

Maybe someone has made the same transition before?

**EDIT:** Actually, what got me most excited about Smalltalk/Seaside is the following Episode of WebDevRadio: [Episode 52: Randal Schwartz on Seaside (among other things)][2]

I decided to use [log4net][1] as a logger for a new webservice project. Everything is working fine, but I get a lot of messages like the one below, for every log4net tag I am using in my `web.config`:

&gt; Could not find schema information for
&gt; the element &#39;log4net&#39;...

Below are the relevant parts of my `web.config`:

&lt;!-- language: xml --&gt;

      &lt;configSections&gt;
        &lt;section name=&quot;log4net&quot; 
            type=&quot;log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler, log4net&quot; /&gt;
      &lt;/configSections&gt;
      &lt;log4net&gt;
        &lt;appender name=&quot;RollingFileAppender&quot; type=&quot;log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender&quot;&gt;
          &lt;file value=&quot;C:\log.txt&quot; /&gt;
          &lt;appendToFile value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;
          &lt;rollingStyle value=&quot;Size&quot; /&gt;
          &lt;maxSizeRollBackups value=&quot;10&quot; /&gt;
          &lt;maximumFileSize value=&quot;100KB&quot; /&gt;
          &lt;staticLogFileName value=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;
          &lt;layout type=&quot;log4net.Layout.PatternLayout&quot;&gt;
            &lt;conversionPattern value=&quot;%date [%thread] %-5level: %message%newline&quot; /&gt;
          &lt;/layout&gt;
        &lt;/appender&gt;
        &lt;logger name=&quot;TIMServerLog&quot;&gt;
          &lt;level value=&quot;DEBUG&quot; /&gt;
          &lt;appender-ref ref=&quot;RollingFileAppender&quot; /&gt;
        &lt;/logger&gt;
      &lt;/log4net&gt;

Solved:

   1. Copy every log4net specific tag to a separate `xml`-file. Make sure to use `.xml` as file extension.
   2. Add the following line to `AssemblyInfo.cs`:

&lt;!-- language: lang-cs --&gt;

    [assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFile = &quot;xmlFile.xml&quot;, Watch = true)]

[nemo][2] added:
&gt; Just a word of warning to anyone
&gt; follow the advice of the answers in
&gt; this thread. There is a possible
&gt; security risk by having the log4net
&gt; configuration in an xml off the root
&gt; of the web service, as it will be
&gt; accessible to anyone by default. Just
&gt; be advised if your configuration
&gt; contains sensitive data, you may want
&gt; to put it else where.

@wcm: I tried using a separate file. I added the following line to `AssemblyInfo.cs`

&lt;!-- language: lang-cs --&gt;

    [assembly: log4net.Config.XmlConfigurator(ConfigFile = &quot;log4net.config&quot;, Watch = true)]

and put everything dealing with log4net in that file, but I still get the same messages.

Why does tempuri.org exist?  Why does each XML Webservice require its own namespace, unique from any other on the web?

I need to configure a website to access a webservice on another machine, via a proxy.  I can configure the website to use a proxy, but I can&#39;t find a way of specifying the credentials that the proxy requires, is that possible?  Here is my current configuration:

    &lt;defaultProxy useDefaultCredentials=&quot;false&quot;&gt;
    	&lt;proxy usesystemdefault=&quot;true&quot; proxyaddress=&quot;&lt;proxy address&gt;&quot; bypassonlocal=&quot;true&quot; /&gt;
    &lt;/defaultProxy&gt;

I know you can do this via code, but the software the website is running is a closed-source CMS so I can&#39;t do this.

Is there any way to do this?  MSDN isn&#39;t helping me much..

Is it possible to specify proxy credentials in your web.config?

My organization is working on building RESTful webservices on JBoss appserver. The QA team is used to testing SOAP webservices so far using SoapUI. SoapUI has a new version that has REST capabilities. We&#39;re considering using that.

1. Are there any publicly available RESTful services available on the net for free that someone could test ? &lt;br&gt; 
2. What tools are available(and used) for testing RESTful web services ?



Testing REST webservices

I&#39;m planning to develop an app for the iPhone and that app would have to access a couple of SOAP services. While doing some basic checking in the iPhone SDK I was not able to find any support for accessing SOAP services, a bit of Googling lead to the conclusion that there is no support for SOAP in the iPhone SDK. 

So if I do want to build that app I&#39;ll need to come up with a approach to access SOAP services from the iPhone. What would be the best approach? Any best practices? Did someone already write a library using the functionality that is present in the iPhone SDK to access SOAP services?

(Since the service I need to access is exposed by another party and they only expose it as SOAP, it&#39;s unfortunately not an option to switch to another type of interface (e.g. REST based API).

I don&#39;t think this is possible, but if is then I need it :)

I have a auto-generated proxy file from the wsdl.exe command line tool by Visual Studio 2008.

The proxy output is partial classes. I want to override the default constructor that is generated. I would rather not modify the code since it is auto-generated.

I tried making another partial class and redefining the default constructor, but that doesn&#39;t work. I then tried using the override and new keywords, but that doesn&#39;t work.

I know I could inherit from the partial class, but that would mean I&#39;d have to change all of our source code to point to the new parent class. I would rather not have to do this.

Any ideas, work arounds, or hacks? 

    //Auto-generated class
    namespace MyNamespace {
       public partial class MyWebService : System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol {
          public MyWebService() {
             string myString = &quot;auto-generated constructor&quot;;
             //other code...
          }
       }
    }
    
    //Manually created class in order to override the default constructor
    namespace MyNamespace {
       public partial class MyWebService : System.Web.Services.Protocols.SoapHttpClientProtocol {
          public override MyWebService() { //this doesn&#39;t work
             string myString = &quot;overridden constructor&quot;;
             //other code...
          }
       }
    }

I am having a lot of trouble finding good information on how to call a standard SOAP/WSDL web service with Android. All I&#39;ve been able to find are either very convoluted documents and references to &quot;kSoap2&quot; and then some bit about parsing it all manually with [SAX][1]. OK, that&#39;s fine, but it&#39;s 2008, so I figured there should be some good library for calling standard web services.

The web service is just basically one created in [NetBeans][2]. I would like to have IDE support for generating the plumbing classes. I just need the easiest/most-elegant way to contact a [WSDL][3] based web service from an Android-based phone.

In through `php_info()` where the WSDL cache is held (`/tmp`), but I don&#39;t necessarily know if it is safe to delete all files starting with WSDL. 

Yes, I _should_ be able to just delete everything from `/tmp`, but I don&#39;t know what else this could effect if I delete any all WSDL files.

In PHP how can you clear a WSDL cache?

I have a WSDL file and I am trying to create a web service that conforms to the WSDL.

I&#39;ve created clients using WSDL files that consume an existing service, but I&#39;ve never created a web service that needed to follow a specific WSDL.

I&#39;ve gone as far as using:

 `wsdl.exe mywsdl.wsdl /l:VB /serverInterface`

Now I&#39;ve got a .vb file generated from that WSDL.  However I am not sure what I&#39;m supposed to do with this VB file.  It looks like it&#39;s got a public interface in there but no class that implements the interface.  It also has a bunch of partial classes for the types in the WSDL.

I was expecting there to be some sort of stub where I put in the code to complete the service calls.  I&#39;ve only created simple web services before and none of them used public interfaces so I&#39;m unfamiliar with what is going on here.

At this point I&#39;m not sure how I use the generated .vb file and make it work with an .asmx file and what additional coding is needed to complete the interface.
