Impossible to add web reference

I'm tryin to use soap service in Visual Studio 2010 with c#. I go ad try new service reference but I always get that error

Custom tool error: Failed to generate code for the service reference 'easyZM'. Please check other error and warning messages for details. path\Service References\serviceTest\Reference.svcmap

with those warning:

Warning 13 Custom tool warning: Cannot import wsdl:portType

Detail: An exception was thrown while running a WSDL import extension: System.ServiceModel.Description.DataContractSerializerMessageContractImporter

Error: Cannot find definition for http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/:putDkm. Service Description with namespace http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/ is missing.

Parameter name: name

XPath to Error Source: //wsdl:definitions[@targetNamespace='urn:Easy']/wsdl:portType[@name='EasyPort'] path\Service References\serviceTest\Reference.svcmap

I have no idea what to do. I have looked at that question What does this WCF error mean: "Custom tool warning: Cannot import wsdl:portType" but none of solutions provided there worked for me.

Path to wsdl: https://ews.zav-mb.si/easy/wsdl/easy.wsdl

Any ideas?

Can somebody else try and report his results?

I found out that problem is likely with the wsdl file itself. But I have no idea how to fix it.

Solution

  • Definitely there's a problem with WSDL. I had the same warning. Then I changed

    <portType name="EasyPort">
    <operation name="putDkm">
        <input message="putDkm"/>
        <output message="tns:putDkmResponse"/>
    </operation>
    <operation name="get">
        <input message="get"/>
        <output message="tns:getResponse"/>
    </operation>
</portType>

    to

    <portType name="EasyPort">
    <operation name="putDkm">
        <input message="tns:putDkm"/>
        <output message="tns:putDkmResponse"/>
    </operation>
    <operation name="get">
        <input message="tns:get"/>
        <output message="tns:getResponse"/>
    </operation>
</portType>

    (See the namespace) After that the build was successful, however no client code had been generated. I'm not going to fix everything, but may I suggest you to firstly create a service prototype with the same interface, generate its WSDL and compare the result with what you have at the moment.
