Subject: Re: soap4r. I just dont get it.

ya. I did check the server error. It says Data Does not exist. Which I 
suppose means I'm sending some wrong arguments over. There is a switch 
case in the .net codes and in the switch case, it default to such error 
when the input arugment is not correct.
By the way, why do I need WSDL? What does it mean that I need WSDL? I 
thought all web services would have some form of WSDL isnt it? Anyway, I 
can read the WSDL from the internet explorer. Is that enough?
