Web service deployment

[John]

Hi

I have completed my first web service and have tested it on my local win2k
server. Now I need to deploy it to a remote server run by a web hosting
company. Here are my questions;

- What files do I need to provide them and how and where do these need to be
installed?

- Do I need to change the namespace of the web service (from vs default) if
the location where it is going to be installed is; www.mydomian.com/myapp?

- How does my local client see and get the reference for the remotely
installed web service?

Thanks

Regards

[Dale]

Re: Web service deployment

Change the namespace for your own sanity, and others who will see the asmx
page online, only. It isn't required but it'll clean up all that nonsense
MS forces you to look at.

use the exampe:

[WebService(Name space=http://www.mydomain.co m/myaspp)]

but really the web address can be anything. It doesn't have to resolve and
is never called upon.

As for the files, just copy the asmx file, web.config, global.asax if you
use it, and the BIN folder. Unless you have other library files or
references you have to copy, that should do it.

Re: Web service deployment

Is there no way to protect the source?

Re: Web service deployment

You're copying the asmx file, not the asmx.cs file. The asmx file doesn't
do anything except point to the dll in the BIN folder. That provides
limited source protection since any CLR app can be disassembled with tools
provided with the framework SDK.
