i got sabre wsdl and tpfc connector services from sabre. also got their wsdl proxy class samples. Now these things are old, i mean their sample code is using .net framework 2.0, and proxy classes. Now its an old APPROACH, while someone suggested me app web reference which will create a .discomap , but i dont see any good reference tutorial.
So what i need to know is , a step by step guide or simple points:
1. how to add wsdl as .discomap web reference
2. how to use that added discomap and how it differs from proxy class.
recently i done some tinkering myself and added a webreference, but i still have no idea what steps i have used to add this.
thanks
To add a reference of one of Sabre's webservices you need to right click on Service Reference in your solution explorer and choose Add Service Reference. In the Add Service Reference window displayed, click on Advance locatetd at the low left side. This will display the Service Reference Settings window, click on Add Web Reference at the low left side of the window. In the URL field of the Add Web Reference window add the path where you downloaded the service files and wsdl or the online wsdl url.
Hope this information is helpful.

I recently received an updated integration document from a third party web services provider. One of the changes indicated that there are updated services that are located at a new URL.
I proceeded to delete my existing reference in my .NET 3.5 console application (VS2012) and attempted to add a new one pointing to the updated URL but was unable to do so due to the following error and die disabled "Add" button:
I subsequently tried to restore the reference to the old URL (which worked a mere month ago when I initially added it) but that to gave the same error.
I did a bit of googling and found the following posts that were not very encouraging:
Can't add Service Reference
Mixing Add Service Reference and WCF Web HTTP (a.k.a. REST) endpoint does not work
Don’t use “Add Service Reference”!
The first link simply repeated my problem statement. The second suggested there is no hope for me and the third is of no relevance since I do not control the server side component.
I was hoping someone with some more WCF experience possibly point me in the right direction. I suppose my question is twofold:
1: Is this something I am doing wrong on my side or can it be a problem with configuration on the third party server?
2: Is there any way I can reasonably add a reference to those services in my project without using "Add Reference" in VS, using the WSDL which I am able to download?
Edit: Just to calrify, the URL resolves and I can see the service controls and descriptions in both my browser and the VS window where you attempt to resolve the WS but the ".../$metadata" part in the error message above is not part of the original URL I entered. original URL which resolves fine is http://service.somewhere/service234/thing and the error refers to http://service.somewhere/service234/thing/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/$metadata
Is it possible to modify/customize the Component "Info" tab details according to user. Please see the details below:
Now in above image, I want to show full path of Image like (d:\images\Chrysanthemum.jpg) "Original File:" as it was coming Tridion 2009.
Is it possible?
Unfortunately these are ReadOnly fields set by the system.
If the item was uploaded using the SDL Tridion UI, this should contain the full path of the original image (I am surprised to see only the filename without the path), however it won't tell you from which editor's machine the path was on, so it is of very little use.
What are you trying to achieve and why? Perhaps someone can suggest a different approach.
Showing extra image information, such as size and dimensions, is a great idea and a good candidate for a gui extension.
Your solution has 4 parts:
Backend, talking with the Tridion API using Core Service to get the MM Image and perform size and dimension calculations. (maybe the dimensions could be calculated in javascript?). In the Core Service write some C# code to get the image from Tridion and calculate image size.
Expose the backend call via a Web Service. I like to use ServiceStack.Net and create a very simple, thin web service on top of the C# code. If you create an asp.net web app and host the ServiceStack web service there then make sure to deploy it to a 'Web App' or Virtual Directory under the Tridion 2011 IIS site. This will help with any Post actions since it will use the same port # and not be considered cross-domain. Pluralsight has a great training video on Servicestack. Also, you can use Rest Console in the Chrome browser to test the web service.
Call web service from an HTML page with jQuery. Create a small web form, serialize it with jQuery, and call the ServiceStack web service. The jQuery response will be a JSON object with image info.
Create an ASCX control, configure Tridion to use it as a Tab extension. Copy/paste your working HTML / jQuery into the tab.
All done!
I have inhherited a vs2010 c# web project (asp.net). It has a web reference to a web service. There's been a slight change to the service - a new operation has been added. I'd like to update the proxy class so that i can call the new operation but i can't find the class. I seem to remember there used to be a "show all files" button in solution explorer that would reveal the proxy class but i can see no sign of that. Unfortunately, i'm not able to refresh the proxy by pointing it at the web service metadata wsdl because vs is no longer installed on any pc that can reach the web service. Anyone know where i can find the proxy class?
It doesn't matter you can't find it in Visual Studio - you can always locate a proper file in your filesystem, under the project directory.
Problem was, the app was running - doh!
Yes, you are right. There is a "Show all files" icon in the tool bar. It will only be available when you have a project selected, so you want to select the web service's parent project:
Expand the service reference and under it the file called Reference.cs is the proxy class.
You should NOT be hand editing this though. You should make the changes to the service and then regenerate the proxy using the Update Service Reference right click option. But then if you really can't do that as you say, then just hand edit the file. But beware that any changes you make will be lost if someone does regenerate it again in the future. Very Risky! (I prey you are using source control)
There is a WSDL.exe command line tool.
Copy and execute this command line tool in the PC where you can have access to the WebService, it will generates the proxy again and you can replace them with the files in your project.

My issue this time around is trying to use the new DCD BlazeDS wizard in Flash Builder 4. If I set my project up as a combined Java/Flex app I am unable to connect to the RDS servlet using the wizard. I get a 404 error every time.
I'm certain the service is set up correctly since my app can access the exposed java classes and BlazeMonster can see the exposed services.
Is anyone else having this issue and if so has anyone found a work-around? I'd very much like to use the code generation features of the wizard for my project.
Thanks as always,
Codeflayer
You also need to make sure you have the RDSDispatchServlet setup in the web.xml config file.
In FlexBuilder 3, there are two items under the 'Data' menu to import and manage web services. After importing a webservice, I can update it with the manage option. However, the webservices seems to disappear after they are imported. The manager does however recognize that a certain WSDL URL was imported and refuses to do anything with it.
How does the manager know this, and how can I make it refresh a certain WSDL URL?
In your src folder of the flexbuilder project you should see the generated classes. For instance, if you use the manager to generate the proxy classes for www.example.com you should see the folders /com/example with the generated proxy classes inside.
To consume these webservices in ActionScript use the statement:
"import com.example.*;"
To consume the webservice in mxml include the .as file using:
<mx:Script source="yourscriptname.as"/>
To refresh the generated proxy classes, consuming the latest WSDL, simply open the manager and select "update".
Also, I found this article very useful for consuming web services.
I hope that helps, the question was kind of vague about the problem.
