Delphi XE 2 -Creating and consuming Web Services

Am new to Delphi XE - and have this working in Delphi 2009.

I am both creating and consuming a web service with Delphi XE2.

I create the service as a stand-alone CGI exe on my local machine using IIS under XP. I have two questions really.

  1. If I create the service (Delphi XE2) and deploy it in InetPub/.... - and then open that exe file (http://localhost/Folder/exeName.exe) with Internet Explorer it fails. I don't seem to get a WSDL file generated, but read somewhere I can append /wsdl/ and that seems to work in that it recognizes the methods in the interface. So I suppose that's not a question really except it's a bit tough to type it correctly...and I wonder why I don't get a separate WSDL file.

  2. Here's the real issue - when I try and consume this - I use the wizard to import the WSDL (http://localhost/Folder/exeName.exe/dwsl/<interface name>) and it generates the interface and the function which returns it as expected. Happy happy. But - when I run it - I get "No WSD or URL property was set in the THTTPRIO...."

Any idea?

I go to the bottom of it and it's an issue with the WSDL importer.
With this import, it generated a Pascal file with the get method which returned the interface, but the url varriable it generated was nil - which is wierd because the defWSDL was properly set. I change the file by hand and it's fine. Delphi 2009 WSDL importer correctly generated the file so no idea what's up there but moving on.
