Inside my local server ,I created an webservice and i can access that thru the link http://localhost/helloworld?wsdl.
How can i access the same url from my desktop or thru other computer


Thanks

The pc you have the service hosted on must be forward facing if you wish to reach it over the internet. By forward facing I mean the PC is exposed to the internet and has and IP address, etc.

If, however, you are just trying to view the webservices from other pcs on your internal network, you just have to do http://<machinename>/helloworld.wsdl

Take care when facing a pc outwards onto the internet because it is now exposed to the internet; take all necessary security percautions.

When i try to access by using http://<machinename>/helloworld?wsdl
i am getting the following error

HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found.
Internet Information Services (IIS)

the machine you are trying to access it from, is it on the same network as the machine that is hosting the webservice? (BTW, I assume that you are NOT entering http://<machinename>/helloworld?wsdl into the address bar. replace <machinename> with the name of the pc you are trying to access)

the server name , machine name and the computer name are all the same

Can you provide information as to how your webserivce was created?

i created endpoints and able to view wsdl

http://<servername>/hello_world
it's a stored procedure created in master database.
when i just try to view the output from this like

http:///<servername>/hello_world

it's giving me an error http501/http505 error.

i read in other article like, when soap is not able to process message , it'll be giving out as http errors.

my endpoint creation is as follows:


CREATE ENDPOINT hello_endpoint
STATE = STARTED
AS HTTP(
PATH = '/helloworld',
AUTHENTICATION = (INTEGRATED ),
PORTS = ( CLEAR ),
SITE = 'testserver'
)
FOR SOAP (
WEBMETHOD 'GetSqlInfo' (name='master.dbo.helloworld', SCHEMA=STANDARD ),
WSDL = DEFAULT,
BATCHES = ENABLED,
DATABASE = 'master',
NAMESPACE = 'http://testserver/helloworld'
);

GO



i already created a stored procedure hello world:

USE [master]
GO

CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[helloworld]
(@msg nvarchar(256)= "Hello Sql Server")
AS BEGIN
select @msg as 'message'
END


.I am not able to find any solution for this.Any help would be a great help for me.


thanks for all

OK, i will look into this shortly and get back to you...

You need to specify the port, like this:

CREATE ENDPOINT hello_endpoint
STATE = STARTED
AS HTTP (
    PATH = '/helloworld',
    AUTHENTICATION = (INTEGRATED),
    PORTS = (CLEAR),
    CLEAR_PORT = 888,
    SITE = '*'
)
FOR SOAP (
    WEBMETHOD 'GetSqlInfo'
    (
        NAME = 'master.dbo.helloworld',
        FORMAT = ROWSETS_ONLY,
                WSDL = DEFAULT
    );
GO

Try that and let me know what happens...

scott,
thanks for your help.
I registered the endpoint and executed your script.
sp_reserve_http_namespace N'http://*:888/helloworld'
I try to access the url inside and out side the server, in both the places i got the same

http://<machinename>or<servername>/helloworld?wsdl
And i got the same error message as before.
And also i try to register the endpoint
sp_reserve_http_namespace N'http://*:80/helloworld'


Got the error message as

Bad Request (Invalid Hostname)
