Web Services

Building Web service

1. Create a ASP.NET web service project

The default web service file created is

Service.asmx
And the code-behind file
Service.cs

using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Services;
using System.Web.Services.Protocols;

[WebService(Namespace = "http://tempuri.org/")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo =
WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
public class Service : System.Web.Services.WebService
{
public Service () {

//Uncomment the following line if using designed

components
//InitializeComponent();
}
 [WebMethod]
public string HelloWorld() {
return "Hello World";
}

Delete Service.asmx and

To create new webservice file

Changing the existing file

using System;
using System.Web;
using System.Collections;
using System.Web.Services;
using System.Web.Services.Protocols;
[WebService(Namespace =
"http://www.ws.com/hello",Name="HelloGreetings")]
[WebServiceBinding(ConformsTo = WsiProfiles.BasicProfile1_1)]
public class Hello : System.Web.Services.WebService {

public Hello () {

//Uncomment the following line if using designed components

//InitializeComponent();
}

[WebMethod]
public string HelloWorld(string name) {
return "Hello " + name;
}
}
 Testing Web Service

Running it on the browser (say yes to creation of web.config file)

On clicking a test page for HelloWorld appears
Creating Web Service Client

For any type of client- either a web client or a console based application
invoke web service as shown below

Console application
Change the Web reference to some other meaningful name other than the
local host

Console application
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;

namespace ConsoleApplication1
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
HelloDotNetWS.HelloGreetings h = new
HelloDotNetWS.HelloGreetings();
Console.WriteLine(h.SayHello("Narada"));
Console.Read();
}
}
}

For web client on adding webservice reference

in web.config

<add key="HelloDotNetWS.Hello"
value="http://localhost:49237/WebService/Hello.asmx"/>

is automatically added

in the web form add a textbox, a button and a label

protected void Button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{
HelloDotNetWS.HelloGreetings h = new
HelloDotNetWS.HelloGreetings();

Label1.Text = h.SayHello(TextBox1.Text);

}
Similarly try web services from Jboss application also

using System.Text;

namespace FromJbossWS
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
JbossWS.HelloService s = new JbossWS.HelloService();
Console.WriteLine(s.hello("Gayatri"));
Console.Read();
}
}
}
