Multiple Webservices With Common Operations and Types

I have received many WSDLs that have common operations (login, logout, insert, update etc) and common types (request, response, connect fault, data container). The differences that i found are target namespace and type of data being transported within the data container. Is it possible to have one service client that exposes the common operations?

Only if their interfaces and schemas match exactly. And they don't, since the namespace differs, for one, so no.

Why would you do that? You could however create a kind of wrapper that calls recurring methods on the various service proxy clients.

Edit: I mean like this:

public void Login(String username, String password)
{
    _client1.Login(username, password);
    _client2.Login(username, password);
    _client3.Login(username, password);
}

You don't want to create a "universal" client, for it'll be unable to communicate with one of the services you're trying to consume when the signature of that service changes. What do you do then, create a second client? Then you're back to square one.
