Accessing the Services

The Microsoft .NET Framework provides a collection of tools and functions for consuming and producing WSDL documents. A command-line tool, wsdl.exe, creates a proxy class from a WSDL that can be used in .NET applications. You can produce a WSDL document by appending ?WSDL to the URL of a .NET Service. The format looks something like:

 http://[servername]/[virtual directory]/[service].svc?wsdl 

An example endpoint for the DocumentService might look like:

https://labw6408hvm113/DocGenServices/Services/Import/DocumentService.svc

There are a couple ways to access the files:

• You can access the files through Windows Explorer and open the service file through a Web browser. Using Windows Explorer, navigate to the DocGenServices directory in the Program Files folder (the default path is C:\Program Files\WKFS\DocGenServices\). From there, you can open the DocumentService.svc (C:\Program Files\WKFS\DocGenServices\DocGenServices\Services\Import).
• You can access the files through IIS and browse the directory and service files. The default installation establishes a virtual directory in IIS that can be used to access WSDL files. Using IIS, navigate to the Services/Import virtual directory and browse the DocumentService.svc file.
