Connecting to a SOAP/Java Service via WSDL and Web Service wizard

[Guest]

Here is an example of the WSDL I am trying to connect to:

WSDL
<wsdl:operation name="getBooksByID">
      <wsdl:input message="tns:getBooksByIDRequest">
    </wsdl:input>
      <wsdl:output message="tns:getBooksByIDResponse">
    </wsdl:output>
      <wsdl:fault message="tns:RequestFault" name="RequestFault">
    </wsdl:fault>
    </wsdl:operation>
---------------------------------------
XSD Schema
Request
<xsd:complexType name="BookParam">
 <xsd:sequence>
 <xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="1" name="BookID" type="xsd:int"/>
 </xsd:sequence>
 </xsd:complexType>
----
Response
 <xsd:complexType name="BookSummary">
 <xsd:sequence>
 <xsd:element name="BookID" type="xsd:int"/>
 <xsd:element name="BookLocation" type="xsd:string"/>
 <xsd:element name="BookName" type="xsd:string"/>
 <xsd:element name="BookPrice" type="xsd:int"/>
 <xsd:element name="BookCost" type="xsd:int"/>
          </xsd:sequence>
     </xsd:complexType>

Basically, it uses parameter objects to store multiple int or string values into placeholders in the objects. I've tested the service to be sure it was working correctly, however when I imported the service via the WSDL Web Service wizard - and just tried a simple form to get an idea of how it needs to look in Flex, I can't even the templated request work.

Flex is saving the parameter as a param object, storing the id as an int inside the object - but both when testing the application in my browser and using the operation test, it is not returning anything at all, when it should be returning data based on the values I am sending.

I was wondering if there might be any tutorials out there using WSDL Web Services import wizard, where the service is expecting a request with an object and expecting a response as an object. Or if there are some troubleshooting steps I might be able to take to solve this. Thanks!

oh it didn't show my WSDL/Schema...

Hopefully this works:

<wsdl:operation name="getBooksByID">

      <wsdl:input message="tns:getBooksByIDRequest">

    </wsdl:input>

      <wsdl:output message="tns:getBooksByIDResponse">

    </wsdl:output>

      <wsdl:fault message="tns:RequestFault" name="RequestFault">

    </wsdl:fault>

    </wsdl:operation>

Request

<xsd:complexType name="BookParam">

<xsd:sequence>

<xsd:element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="1" name="BookID" type="xsd:int"/>

</xsd:sequence>

</xsd:complexType>

Response

<xsd:complexType name="BookSummary">

<xsd:sequence>

<xsd:element name="BookID" type="xsd:int"/>

<xsd:element name="BookLocation" type="xsd:string"/>

<xsd:element name="BookName" type="xsd:string"/>

<xsd:element name="BookPrice" type="xsd:int"/>

<xsd:element name="BookCost" type="xsd:int"/>

</xsd:sequence>

</xsd:complexType>

Nevermind! I found what I needed! For anyone else with some trouble finding out how to appropriately construct a request:

I'm going to drop the wizard thing - it is making it much more confusing than it needs to be

Another great resource for people with trouble using the wizard import and want to try to do it on their own in flex:
