Importing WSDL from local file and/or URL

[JWatsonPelco]

Hello,

I am trying to import a WSDL (web service) form the following location: http://www.onvif.org/onvif/ver20/ptz/wsdl/ptz.wsdl

I would rather do this from a local file if possible as well.

Neither seem to work generating the message "Validation Failed the URL does not exist or the WSDL is bad"

Please help

Did you include the correct authentication and proxy information?

Also, if you want to access it locally it will have to be already running as a web service on your machine and accessible through localhost. Is this what you were doing when trying to connect locally? It’s a common mistake to input a local file path rather than a URL pointing to the local service.

I guess I don't understand why I can't just use a local file?

The WSDL just defines the interface, I want to use it to talk to mulitple devices on the same network that all support the service. There is no authentication or proxy server.

That really depends on how you're trying to access the file. If you're trying to access the file through a web service like when it is not local, then you will have to access the file through a localhost rather than direct to the file path.
