Apache SOAP webservice & .NET client

[Joseph George <Jo...@sophia.inria.fr>]

Hi,
I checked the archives of this list but most of the messages concerning .NET
dealt with an apache soap client and a .NET webservice. I want to know how
to make it work the otherway round.

Suppose i have the following webservice in java:
----------------------------------------------
public class exampleTry {
    public int multiplyBy2(int i){
        return i*2;
    }
}
----------------------------------------------

and i deploy the above using the Apache SOAP admin:
----------------------------------------------------------
Deployed Service Information
'urn:try:exampleTry' Service Deployment Descriptor

ID -- urn:try:exampleTry
Scope -- Request
Provider Type -- java
Provider Class -- exampleTry
Use Static Class -- false
Methods -- multiplyBy2
Type Mappings --
Default Mapping Registry Class --
----------------------------------------------------------

The deployed web service is consumed perfectly by this java client:
----------------------------------------------------------
public class Client{
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception{
        URL url=new URL("http://localhost:8080/soap/servlet/rpcrouter");
        String urn="urn:try:exampleTry";
        Call call=new Call();
        call.setTargetObjectURI(urn);
        call.setMethodName("multiplyBy2");
        call.setEncodingStyleURI(Constants.NS_URI_SOAP_ENC);
        Vector param=new Vector();
        param.addElement(new Parameter("i",Integer.class,new
Integer(5),null));
        call.setParams(param);
        try{
            Response response=call.invoke(url,"");
            if(!response.generatedFault()){
                Parameter result=response.getReturnValue();
                System.out.println("Result="+result.getValue());
            }
            else{
                Fault f=response.getFault();
                System.err.println("Client.java: Fault Occured!\n");
            }
        }
        catch(SOAPException e){
            System.err.println("Client.java: SOAPException caught!");
        }
    }
}
----------------------------------------------------------

But now, suppose i want to use a .NET client(beta1, C#) ...how do i go about
it? I guess i'll have to make an SDL doc describing my webservice. Could
someone post the SDL file describing the webservice above...and then what?
Add a webreference by locating this SDL file in .NET?
Could someone who got this to work please post the step-by-step
instructions.

Thanks.
-Joseph.
