How do you get the server url to give to the client when using Node-soap or Strong-soap

I am writing a service with node.js' node-soap package. The service seem to run okay when I do "node myService.js". Now, how do I get the url that would be given to the client? If you want my wsdl file, "myservice.wsdl" as per the code below please let me know. here is my code

var http = require('http');
var soap = require('soap');
var express = require('express');
var bodyParser = require('body-parser');

var myService = {
     MyService: {
         MyPort: {
             post_csvDoc: function(csvDoc) {
                 return 200;
             },
             post_jsonDoc: function(csvDoc) {
                 return 200;
             },
             post_pdfDoc: function(csvDoc) {
                 return 200;
             },
             get_csvDoc: function(month) {
                 return "FirstDoc";
             },
             get_jsonDoc: function(month) {
                 return "SecondDoc";
             },
             get_pdfDoc: function(month) {
                 return "ThirdDoc";
             },
         }
     }
};

var xml = require('fs').readFileSync('myservice.wsdl', 'utf8');

//http server example
var server = http.createServer(function(request,response) {
    response.end('404: Not Found: ' + request.url);
});

server.listen(8000);
soap.listen(server, '/wsdl', myService, xml);

//express server example
var app = express();
//body parser middleware are supported (optional)
app.use(bodyParser.raw({type: function(){return true;}, limit: '5mb'}));
app.listen(8001, function(){
    //Note: /wsdl route will be handled by soap module
    //and all other routes & middleware will continue to work
    soap.listen(app, '/wsdl', myService, xml);
});

This is the error I get when I enter path when I try http://127.0.0.1:8001/wsdl?wsdl:

Sorry I did not refresh stack overflow and as such did not see your request for the wsdl. Below the wsdl:

Summary: for anyone who is interested, the answer to this question is:

  1. Using http://127.0.0.1:8001/wsdl?wsdl as the url instead of just http://127.0.0.1:8001/wsd
  2. adding the namespaces in the definitions tag as per the dropbox wsdl link posted by Terry. Thanks Terry. See "moved to chat" below
Solution

  • Your service URL will be http://your-domain:8000/wsdl. If you're running locally this will be http://localhost:8000/wsdl, since in this case you've set your port number to 8000. In this case you've actually got two servers running as well so you'll have prot 8001 as well!
