How to invoke a WSIT endpoint from a WCF client ?

Posted by arungupta on April 26, 2007 at 6:05 AM PDT

You've developed a reliable, secure transactional and interoperable Web
service using Web Services Interoperability
Technology (WSIT, aka Project Tango)
plug-in in
NetBeans 5.5.1
and deployed on GlassFish v2.
NetBeans IDE provide a very seamless experience to build such a Web service. The
primary goal of WSIT is to provide first-class interoperability with
Windows
Communication Foundation (WCF), the Web services component of
.NET 3.0 framework. Once the
Web service is deployed, you'd like to invoke this Web service by writing a
client using
Visual Studio. It's not straight forward to do so today and this entry
highlights the steps required to do that.

If not already done, create a reliable WSIT endpoint and deploy on GlassFish v2 following the

screencast #ws3.
For creating a WCF client, install the following software
1. If not using Vista, then install
  
  .NET 3.0 Framework runtime.
2. Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition (available via MSDN)
  - There are additional requirements for Express editions (free
  lightweight versions of Visual Studio)
3. Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition SP1
4. Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 Professional Edition SP1 Update
5. Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for .NET 3.0 Framework (WCF & WPF), Nov 2006
  CTP - For Express editions,
  
  Windows Vista SDK is required as well for WCF scenarios.
Start Visual Studio
Create a new Visual C#, Windows, Console Application. Program.cs
is shown in the main Visual Studio window.
In Solution Explorer, right-click on the project name and select "
```
Add 
	Service Reference ...
```
". This is the big difference. If you select "
```
Add 
	Web Reference ...
```
", then this creates a proxy and app.config
for .NET 2.0 framework. But WSIT is about interoperability with .NET 3.0
framework.
Specify the location of the WSIT endpoint, in our case (http://localhost:8080/WebApplication1/NewWebServiceService?wsdl).
In the Main function of Program.cs, add the logic to invoke the
generated proxy. The code looks like:[prettify]using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using ConsoleApplication1.localhost;[/prettify]
namespace</code>[prettify] ConsoleApplication1
{
 class Program
 {
 static void Main(string[] args)
 {
 NewWebServiceClient client = new NewWebServiceClient();
 Console.WriteLine(client.sayHello(&quot;Duke&quot;));
 }
 }
}</pre>
 </li>
 <li>Build the solution by selecting &quot;<code>Build", "Build 
 Solution" (default shortcut Ctrl+Shift+B).</li> <li>Run ConsoleApplication1\bin\Debug\ConsoleApplication1.exe. This will make a request to WSIT endpoint and get a response back.</li> </ol> The generated app.config file looks like: <pre><?</code>xml version=&quot;1.0&quot; encoding=&quot;utf-8&quot; ?&gt;
&lt;configuration&gt;
 &lt;system.serviceModel&gt;
 &lt;bindings&gt;
 &lt;customBinding&gt;

 contract=&quot;ConsoleApplication1.localhost.NewWebService&quot; name=&quot;NewWebServicePort&quot; /&gt;
 &lt;/client&gt;
 &lt;/system.serviceModel&gt;
&lt;/configuration<code>>[/prettify]

Here are the SOAP messages that get exchanged over the wire:

The same programming model will work for creating a WCF client if you add
security or transactions support on the WSIT endpoint.

Hi Arun
This is very useful article w.r.to interoperability with .net. At the end you wrote "The same programming model will work for creating a WCF client if you add security or transactions support on the WSIT endpoint". I have tried this but getting problem.

The problem is that i have developed a secure web service in java using metro. It's working fine. I have developed a client (Console Application) using Visual Studio .Net 2010 to consume the secure java service. But i am getting the exception of "No Security Header Found" . The following is the stack trace of this error:

System.ServiceModel.FaultException was unhandled
Message=ERROR: No security header found in the message
Source=mscorlib
StackTrace:

I think i have to set configuration of metro in VS .net . But i don't know how? I googled for a tutorial for dealing such kind of situation and trying to open articles from your blog link http://blogs.sun.com/arungupta/entry/web_services_javaone but no link available. May be more time passed.

Please tell me what should i do and if there is any useful link of a tutorial, kindly tell me.

If this is not exact place to post the question then kindly guide me where i should post my this problem.
Need urgent reply.

Thanks in advance.
