      Does any one have any experience of calling a “plex” web service from BizTalk?

      I have previously had cause to call a number of asmx web services and found this to be a simple case of adding the appropriate generated item.  However, when I try this with the supplied “plex” url that I have been given for this particular web service it fails.

      The url is of the form:

      http://www.XXXXXXXXX.co.uk/bin/xxxxxSOAP.plex/xxxxxOrders#xxxxxSearchOrder

      A serious amount of googling has yet to turn up the answer for me, so if anyone can shed any light on the subject of how to call this web service it would be appreciated.

      Cheers

      Looks like a SOAP endpoint, all you should need in access to the WSDL.
      Have you tried browsing to http://www.XXXXXXXXX.co.uk/bin/xxxxxSOAP.plex/xxxxxOrders#xxxxxSearchOrder?WSDL

      If not you need to ask the service provider for the WSDL url or file. Then just add this WSDL using which ever adapter you are using SOAP or WCF.

        Hi Greg,

        I had already tried the ?WSDL approach, but it did not work when trying to generate the schema. Also navigating to the url does also not display the WSDL, so am unsure as to whether this is provided in this way by a Plex webservice – my previous experiences have all been with asmx web services.

        I am not in a position to contact the provider (yet) as this was just prep-work for a possible project so I can’t yet bother their IT staff 🙂

        Thanks for the input.

        Stu.
