How to access the FirstData web service integration WSDL file?

Question

FirstData has horrendous customer support, but I have to integrate with their Global Gateway web service for a project I'm working on. I'm simply trying to run the Axis2 wsdl2java tool according to the instructions in their manual.

This basically consists of adding the keyStore and keyStorePassword JVM parameter. I've done both, but I continue to get Connection reset errors when trying to run:

wsdl2java.bat -uri https://www.staging.linkpointcentral.com/fdggwsapi/order.wsdl -S C:\

When I try to access the URL with my browser, I get

Error 101 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_RESET): Unknown error.

I assume there are developers out there who have completed a FirstData web service integration. What am I doing wrong?

I've also tried connecting via cURL:

C:\curl-7.19.7-ssl-sspi-zlib-static-bin-w32>curl --cert C:\FDGGWS\WSXXXXXXXXXX._.1.pem --key C:\FDGGWS\WSXXXXXXXXXX._.1.key --insecure  https://www.staging.linkpointcentral.com/fdggwsapi/order.wsdl
Enter PEM pass phrase:
curl: (52) SSL read: error:00000000:lib(0):func(0):reason(0), errno 10054

I know I'm entering the correct key password because when I enter a fake one I get:

curl: (58) unable to set private key file: 'C:\FDGGWS\WSXXXXXXXXXX._.1.key' type PEM

Hi,

Please correct the wsdl url to https://www.staging.linkpointcentral.com/fdggwsapi/services/order.wsdl and try generating the stub classes. I tried in browser and i am able to generate java stubs.

Yeah it looks like you were pointing to the wrong URL. Also, http://www.robinsontechnical.com has information on First Data Web Services too.
