Using WebService without wsdl File

M

Manuel Bernhardt

Hi there,

I try to implement an OpenSource library which makes it possible, using
some functions of an hardware router. So far, I've an working
"prototype" but I want implement the whole stuff ".NET-Like".

Currently I generate an string which contains an HTML Header and XML
Body - this I send with the network socket function to my destination
and parse the result, getting the single values. The problem I have: The
device needs strict SOAP requests - good! But it doesn't offers an WSDL
File - it only offers an SCPD (Service Control Protocol Description)
File which is written in an "WSDL Like" dialect but this file can't
simply rewritten as WSDL File. So I'll use the service for the next step
without WSDL and when it is implemented successfully, I'll write an
parse which transform the SCPD File into an WSDL File.

My question now:
How can I use the WebService/SOAP Functions without WSDL File? So far I
can found informations, the whole functions in this context need the
WSDL File but I know from PHP for example, that WSDL shouldn't
neccessary and some other sources tells me too, that it sould possible.
But how?

My first "dirty" try can be found under
http://www.ip-phone-forum.de/showthread.php?t=190718.

The development is done under VB.NET Express 2005. I'm "fixed" to NET
Framework 2.0 because the stuff should also run with Mono.

I would be grateful for any information.
