Dynamic URL for webservice callout

Author: martinandheather@gmail.com (byjones)

Currently, I have an application which calls out to webservices on a server.

However, if this server changes, do I have to regenerate all of the signatures in order to use this new server?

If it is a matter of regenerating, would it be possible to add a feature to allow the base URL to be specified somewhere, and then simply change this and recompile the signatures in order to make the changes?

Hi Martin,

Just an idea:

Do not specify the URL of the WSDL directly in the SOAP Properties of the Web Service Call-Out signature, but only refer to a local WSDL file. In case you would like to use a different server then you only have to change the local copy of the WSDL and there's no need to regenerate the related signature.

Hope this helps.

Best regards,
Daniel

*** Usual disclaimer ***

i use the same workaround and it works fine.

So do you just load the WSDL in from C:\somefile.wsdl or do you put it on http://localhost/somefile.wsdl?

Martin

You can use

C:\somefile.wsdl

We use the technique and it works fine.

How do tell Uniface where the path of the webservice is at runtime - does this go in the wsdl file?

Thanks,

Anthony
