.net WebService URL Issue

Question

Hello, I have a WebService written in VB.net with couple of webmethods and I published the WebService to the IIS.

The URL for wsdl is http://mywebservice/DataPort/portData.asmx?wsdl

There are couple of Java applications that are consuming the above mentioned webservice.

The Java team wants the URL to end with portData?wsdl instead of portData.asmx?wsdl

How can I do that?

Thanks

Answer 1

This article gives you an idea of how IIS handles requests. You'll want to setup an HTTP Request Handler.

In your web.config you'll need to configure the handler's section.

<httpHandlers>
     <add verb="GET,POST" path="*" type="Namespace.Class,Namespace" />
     <add verb="GET,POST" path="/" type="Namespace.Class,Namespace" />
</httpHandlers>

Then in IIS for the Virtual Directory your web-service is hosted in you'll need to go to Properties->Home Directory->Configuration->Mappings and associate the dll for your version of ASP.NET to whatever path you've specified.
