WW.Interface error on Bind?

[jen_bonnett]

I'm getting an error on bind in WW.Interface. I downloaded both
WW.Dataservices and WW.Interface, today. Created a new
WW.Dataservices project and compiled it. Have it running.
Created a new WW.Interface project and get an error on Bind.

Error basically states that the WSDL has bad format.

Hi Jennifer. Welcome to the user group.

Hmm. Can you please tell us what the URL is of your running webservice, and then what values you put into WW.Interface for the "WebServiceDescriptionPath" and the "WebServicePath" properties?

It was a case sensitivity issue.

Got it to bind and generate. 

Not running very well.  Still says "loading" and it's been at least 10 minutes.

Well at least we're getting farther now. Please bear with us, of course these issues are the reason this is all still "beta" and why we're offering it all for free...

OK, now... did you make sure to set the "Virtual Path" property of your website to just be "/"? You can get to that property in Visual Studio by clicking the website's root node in Solution Explorer and looking in the properties pane (or hit F4 if your properties pane is not visible)

Also, if the above is set right and it's still not working, try opening Web.config and do a search for the string "enableJSCompression" - and set that to "false"...

Let me know how all that goes...

[Jennifer Bonnett]

The virtual path is "/" and enableJSCompression is set to false.

And I assume by your short answer that it's still not working. Hmm..

Would you mind sending screenshots of Visual Studio for us to try to figure this out? Preferably one screenshot of your back end project, with the WW.DataServices plugin visible (please make sure to select the active provider so that we can see the provider properties)... and then another screenshot of your front end project with WW.Interface visible - with the active web service selected in the top tree so that we can see those properties.

Thank you for your continued patience.

Aside from these hurdles, do you find the tools valuable (at least in theory, assuming we continue to fix these issues for upcoming releases)?

[Jennifer Bonnett]

Here you go.

I do find them valuable.  They will be a great tool for generating quick admin sites.

Well, nothing looks out of the ordinary there so I'm not entirely sure what's going on here. It might be database related (which would certainly mean we have work to do to support arbitrary schemas betters...).

Have you tried this against any other databases? Northwind, for example?

[Ryan Gahl]

oops... not "betters"... "better"   :)

[Jennifer Bonnett]

I haven't.  The database is pretty basic... membership website.  And the Webservices generated by WW.DataServices all work to pull data fine.

Attached is the script to set up my db/tables.

I've only added a couple of rows of test data. 

Jennifer

[Ryan Gahl]

Hi Jennifer. For what it's worth, I was able to generate (and run) just fine based on your database schema, so that's obviously not the issue.

At this point it smells a little bit like permissions. Do you get any tabs? Also, if you enable error messages in your browser do you get any? Also also... was a "js" folder created in your project directory (front end project)? There should have been, and it should have a .js file with a bunch of metadata from your back end...
