The WSIT Tutorial

Generating the Proxy Class and Configuration File

When creating a Java programming language client, you use the wsimport tool to generate the proxy and helper classes used by the client class to access the web service. When creating a WCF client, the svcutil.exe tool provides the same functionality as the wsimport tool. svcutil.exe generates the C# proxy class and contracts for accessing the service from a C# client program.

The example bundle contains a batch file, build.bat, that calls svcutil.exe to generate the proxy class. The command is:


svcutil /config:Client.exe.config http://localhost:8080/wsit-enabled-fromjava/addnumbers?wsdl
