Web Services cannot find wdsl?

[UofS]

I want to call a workflow from a php application server but am getting this error (confirmed both PHP and Java are also seeing the error):

Uncaught SoapFault exception: [WSDL] SOAP-ERROR: Parsing WSDL: Couldn't load from 'https://servername:8281/vmware-vmo-webcontrol/webservice' : Extra content at the end of the document

I see a web page that says:

webservice

Hi there, this is an AXIS service!

Perhaps there will be a form for invoking the service here...

Any idea why this is not working?

Never mind.  1d10t

This works:

$url = "https://server.com:8281/vmware-vmo-webcontrol/webservice?WSDL";

$client = new SoapClient($url, array("trace" => 1, "exception" => 0));

$result = $client->__getFunctions();

var_dump($result);

Hi!

Be aware that vCO 5.1 provides a much more powerful REST based API (the "old" SOAP API is still supported, though).

So depending on your update plans you may not want to spend too much time with the SOAP one 🙂
