complex arguments with webservice passthrough

[Jim V]

I've got an interesting way that i have to handle webservices. I cannot
access the computer that i need to from outside the firewall. Therefore i
have to a webservice on a webserver to act as a relay. So in other words,
Client A, sends a request to webserver B, which then sends a message to
internal web server C.

When using a complex type as an argument, the definition has to lie on the
server. But in my case, how could A see the definition on C?

Thanks

Re: complex arguments with webservice passthrough

Hi,

Since the C (int server) exposes the WSDL with the datatypes its going
to use, you can propagate the C exposed datatypes in the B (ext
server) WebService. This will include the C datatype in the B exposed
WSDL.

Client A can now use the datatypes from B, which in fact originate
from C.

Hope this helps,

Marvin Smit.
