Call Web Service Node / Advanced Call Web Service

David Williams
Hi all,

Is it possible to call a local copy of a wsdl from the Call Web Service Node? It seems to only like URL's. The wsdl we are trying to call is to complex, but even having difficulty calling it with the Advanced Web Service Call smart services.

Ideally we would call a local copy of the WSDL as the provider of the service cant change the WSDL exposed via the URL, instead a local copy with the service definition so we can map the inputs and outputs.

Any pointers on this would be great.

Thanks, David.

    I was successful in the past to host a local copy on our web server. Then i have actually edited and removed all data structures and operations that i am not using. Original WSDL is a 9000 line and I am to bring it down to 600 lines that i needed for my application. Then I have used the expression rule version of the call web service and later replaced with "call advanced web service" plugin.
