I need to create a wsdl file to provide it to a third party. I do not have my web service implemented yet. All I have is a document that tells what operations the web service will support and the input and the return (output) parameters for each operation. I need to create a wsdl before implementing the service. Any ideas on how to approach this? Are there any tools that allow to create wsdls manually? Thanks in advance!
The best way to create a WSDL is let VS create it for you. This can easily be done when creating a WS Application.
So, If you already need to create the interfaces (to pass them to the 3rd party) but just not the implementation - Create the webservice itself (more specifically the interfaces) but instead of implementing, throw a NotImplementedException in all of them.
You can then run the WebService, have it generate the correct WSDL for you (which you can pass to the 3rd party) and all you have left is to implement the methods at your free time.

I'm Using Mule 4.2.2 Runtime. We use the errorHandling generated by APIKIT and we customized it according to customer requirement's, which is quite standard across all the upcoming api's.
Thinking to convert this as a connector so that it will appear as component/connector in palette to reuse across all the api's instead copy paste everytime.
Like RestConnect for API specification which will automatically convert in to connector as soon as published in Exchange ( https://help.mulesoft.com/s/article/How-to-generate-a-connector-for-a-REST-API-for-Mule-3-x-and-4-x).
Do we have any option like above publishing mule common flow which will convert to component/connector?
If not, which one is the best way suits in my scenario
1) using SDK
https://dzone.com/articles/mulesoft-custom-connector-using-mule-sdk-for-mule (or)
2) creating jar as mentioned in this page
[https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/flow-reusability-mule-4-nagaraju-kshathriya][2]
Please suggest which one is best and easy way in this case? Thanks in advance.
Using the Mule SDK (1) is useful to create a connector or module in Java. Your questions wasn't fully clear about what do want to encapsulate in a connector. I understand that you want is to share parts of a flow as a connector in the palette, which is different. The XML SDK seems to be more inline with that. You will need to make some changes to encapsulate the flow elements, as described in the documentation. That's actually very similar to how REST connect works.
The method described in (2) is for importing XML flows from a JAR file, but the method described by that link is actually incorrect for Mule 4. The right way to implement sharing flows through a library is the one described at https://help.mulesoft.com/s/article/How-to-add-a-call-to-an-external-flow-in-Mule-4. Note that this method doesn't create a connector that can be used from Anypoint Studio palette.
From personal experience - use common flow, put it to repository and include it as dependency to pom file. Even better solution - include is as flow to the Domain app and use it alone with your shared https connector.
I wrote a lot of Java based custom components. I liked them a lot and was proud of them. But transition from Mule3 to Mule4 killed most of them. Even in Mule4 Mulesoft makes changes periodically which make components incompatible with runtime.
I was wondering if anyone else has found a relatively easy way of proxying a workday service to limit the operations to one or two operations. Our Workday service we want to proxy has almost 200 operations in it and the WSDL is over 52,000 lines. We would like to use ESB as a hub for our enterprise web services, but have not found an easy way to expose one or two operations, as we don't want to expose the world to everyone at this point. Manually trying to trim a 52,000 line wsdl down to under 100 lines is a little daunting if it needs to be done for a couple dozen services and the wsdl is updated at least twice a year.
Has anyone had similar experiences or suggestions on tools that may be able to help create a custom wsdl to publish from our proxied service? We don't have any java code to define the service and generate a wsdl.
Am I wrong thinking that I can limit the operations of my proxied service by creating a custom wsdl to expose only those operations we want for the given proxy?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
You're right thinking that you can limit your service's operations like that. You have two way to create your "custom" wsdl :
Use tools like altova xmlsply for exemple and comment the operations you don't want to expose
Develop a script with ant for exemple and use xsl to automatically update your wsdl
I'm trying to study how Spring Integration works (with extramly difficult, on the net there are a tons of source code but without some real step-by-step tutorial) and i would like to use it in my own application.
I will have to write a client/server application where the server endpoint is a Webservice and the client will be a Standalone app.
The standalone app will collect some data (creating different POJO, because each kind of that have different members) and next will invoke a WebService that store it in database.
The idea is to have a single REST Endpoint on WebService, in this way i dont have to create different one if i will have to expand my Standalone app.
My problem is: because the Endpoint will be only one, there is a way to apply some "transformation" when the webservice is invoked so i can manage different data?
For example:
Standalone app collect data (class1) -> Invoke webservice -> Webservice apply some transormation regardless Class1 type -> Save the data
Standalone app collect data (class2) -> Invoke webservice -> Webservice apply some transormation regardless Class2 type -> Save the data
So, each class have its own "transformation" that know what to do with this data.
A better real example could be this:
Class1 - Is a class with a single member (a String)
Class2 - Is a class with two member (a String and a Integer)
The Standalone App invoke wbs passing it Class1, the wbs with (transformation?) manage Class1 and store the data
The same process will be replaced to Class2
Doing this flow, when later i will have to expand this applications, i will have to write only the transformation (on wbs side) and how the data have to be collected (on Client side).
Someone could show me some starting point (tutorial, examples ecc) on this kind of argument ?
Unfortunally, with my low experience with SI i really dont know where to start with this argument. I just have seen that this framework have a lot of functionality and maybe exists something that handle this.... but i dont know how to find :(
I suggest you familiarize yourself with the Enterprise Integration Patterns and read the Spring Integration Reference and look at the samples.
In your case, you could use a Payload Type Router to route the messages to different flows based on the inbound payload type.
Creating a step-by-step tutorial for every use case would be an enormous task.
We're happy to help further if/when you have specific questions; consider contributing a sample when you get it working.
I want to consume a file which is wsdl with VB6 , anyone can help me? Or how can I convert wsdl to proxy class ?
You can look at either Microsoft's SOAP Toolkit or PocketSOAP. Might be best to look at both, but don't despair over the learning curve. Both offer simple approaches for simple situations as well as complex solutions for more complex ones.
First, you have a problem with terminology: you do not want to consume the file. The file is a description of a web service. It is the web service that you want to consume. The WSDL gives you all the information you need to consume it.
There are methods to consume a web service in VB6. In the same way you shouldn't be using VB6, you shouldn't be using any of these methods.
You should use VB.NET to create a small COM component. This component will consume the service by using "Add Service Reference" to create proxy classes. You will be able to use modern tools and techniques to develop and debug this component.
You can then consume the COM component from VB6, just like any other COM component.
Basicly you can use the SOAP moniker like this
Set oProxy = GetObject("soap:wsdl=http://server/folder/service.wsdl")
oProxy.Method "Param1"

I use VS2008, .net 3.5.
There is an external Web Service (it is PHP implementation, but dont mind implementation -.net, java, php,...-).
In my project csproj, I want add Service Reference to WebService and I want use WCF.
When I add Service Reference in VS2008, WCF proxy is created.
Any best practices (patterns and practices) for add service reference (external service) ?
The WCF Proxy Generator (I think the same svcutil command) generates source code like this. Perhaps it will be interesting manages the code generated (ServiceContractAttribute Namespace="http://192.168.50.63/WebService" use IP address, and OperationContractAttribute(Action="http://devservername/webservice/SmoBridge.php/login" use servername).
[System.CodeDom.Compiler.GeneratedCodeAttribute("System.ServiceModel", "3.0.0.0")]
[System.ServiceModel.ServiceContractAttribute(Namespace="http://192.168.50.63/WebService", ConfigurationName="ServiceEasyVista.WebServicePortType")]
public interface WebServicePortType {
[System.ServiceModel.OperationContractAttribute(Action="http://devservername/webservice/SmoBridge.php/login", ReplyAction="*")]
[System.ServiceModel.XmlSerializerFormatAttribute(Style=System.ServiceModel.OperationFormatStyle.Rpc, Use=System.ServiceModel.OperationFormatUse.Encoded)]
[return: System.ServiceModel.MessageParameterAttribute(Name="return")]
string login(string SESSION_ID, [System.ServiceModel.MessageParameterAttribute(Name="LOGIN")] string LOGIN1, string PASSWORD, string COMPANY_ACCOUNT);
Update:
the Erwyn’s recommendations about the correct closing of a faulted WCF Channel.
http://bloggingabout.net/blogs/erwyn/archive/2006/12/09/WCF-Service-Proxy-Helper.aspx
Why does ClientBase Dispose need to throw on faulted state? (Or, what's the difference between close and abort?)

i think that one is sophisticated technique.

I don't know why there would be any particular best practices around adding a reference. Having said that, the "Refresh Reference" command in Visual Studio (right-click on an existing service reference) sometimes doesn't work too well, so it can be easier to use the svcutil command manually, and have a .bat file in your solution that updates the service reference (svcutil is what "Add Service Reference" is using behind the scenes).
Also, if the service you're referencing is returning an array, you can get WCF to automatically turn it into a generic list (or some other type) - this might make things easier.
