WSDL to SOAP problems

Hi folks,

first of all:
I am a newbie to SOAP and WSDL but unfortunately a customer wants to
have a little solution by our company and I have no idea how to realize
it.

I hope someone here can help me (google and different newsgroups could
not yet).

Well, I have a WSDL file:
http://athene.dnsalias.org/~hauke/tmpif-qs.wsdl
and want to create a SOAP file to call (e.g.) QSRegisterMemberMsg. I
tried this on http://www.nct.de/team/hzuehl/soap/
The source of that file can be found here:
http://www.nct.de/team/hzuehl/soap/index.phps

So, how does a correct SOAP envelope look like which fullfills my
request?

Any help would be appreciated :)

Thanks and regards,
Hauke Zuehl

Hauke: The WSDL document is a straight-forward RPC-style service. With 
some experimentation it should take you a couple of days to figure out 
the SOAP tool you want to use and to make the call.

The only complexity I see is writing your code to handle the XML schema 
definitions for the <TYPES> section. Most WSDL I've seen is fairly 
primitive in that it does not use the schema definition to define valid 
data in the SOAP request parameters. Most WSDL I've seen puts the data 
validation into the Java code of the SOAP handler. I would recommend 
that you first write a SOAP client that ignores the schema definitions 
in the <types> section. Once you have it working then add the code to 
parse the schema.

You may find my open-source project TestMaker to be a good environment 
to experiment with and learn SOAP. Details are at 
http://www.pushtotest.com/ptt.

Also, PushToTest has consultants available for you to subcontract 
writing the SOAP service. We have people available now. Contact me at 
fcohen@pushtotest.com or call me at 408 374 7426 in California for a
