I've come across several examples of SOAP-based web services where automated tooling fails to build a client that works.
Investigating these examples leads me to believe that the WSDL the service uses to describe itself doesn't quite match the service that's being provided. Maybe a wrong type somewhere, a different data structure - something.
I'm unsure what the most appropriate response is - if we assume that the obvious one (get the provider to fix their stuff) isn't available.
Some options I can think of:
- Make a fixed WSDL?
- Hack the generated code?
- Any other options?
- No good options?
What good experiences have people had? What works in a real environment?
Thanks
