not sure if this is my mistake ~~ vs2010 Add Service Reference fails

https://tbe.taleo.net/MANAGER/dispatcher/servlet/rpcrouter

the above is from Taleo's API guide.

I'm trying to create a WCF Client

(e.g.: " Creating Your First WCF Client"

http://channel9.msdn.com/shows/Endpoint/Endpoint-Screencasts-Creating-Your-First-WCF-Client/ )

The tbe.taleo... link is from Taleo's API documentation.

Likely my understanding is flawed. My assumption is that when the

link from Taleo is entered into the vs2010 "Add Service Reference"

dialog and GO is clicked, then vs2010 should retrieve

a proper WSDL/SOAP envelope back from the Taleo link.

That does not happen; instead an error occurs.

Fiddler2 (http://fiddler2.com) displays the status code 500

"HTTP/1.1 500 Internal Server Error". [FULL DETAILS BELOW]

"WcfTestClient.exe" gives a similar error: [WcfTestClient DETAILS BELOW]

QUESTION: is it me, or is the Taleo link flawed?

Thank you,

Gerry

[FULL DETAILS "Add Service Reference"]

The HTML document does not contain Web service discovery information. Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved: 'https://tbe.taleo.net/MANAGER/dispatcher/servlet/rpcrouter'. The content type text/xml;charset=utf-8 of the response message does not match the content type of the binding (application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8). If using a custom encoder, be sure that the IsContentTypeSupported method is implemented properly. The first 544 bytes of the response were: ' SOAP-ENV:Protocol Unsupported content type "application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8", must be: "text/xml". /MANAGER/dispatcher/servlet/rpcrouter

'. The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error. If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the solution and adding the service reference again.

Browsing to the Taleo link, I get

SOAP RPC Router

Sorry, I don't speak via HTTP GET- you have to use HTTP POST to talk to me.

My suspicion is that both Visual Studio and Fiddler do an HTTP GET to retrieve the WSDL (a description of the Web Service). Instead, they're getting an HTML error message.

Adding "?WSDL" to the URL didn't help. So I'd say the Taleo link is not intended to be used in this manner, but instead is designed for SOAP RPC.

Sadly, I can only blame myself. I watched the excellent free Pluralsight videos.
I tried to sort it out from Taleo's documentation, Google, msdn, et cetera.

I should have used this:
http://tbe.taleo.net/wsdl/DispatcherAPI.wsdl
from here:
http://tbe.taleo.net/products/TBE_API_Guide.pdf from
http://www.taleo.com/solutions/taleo-business-edition-web-integration-api

Thanks to all who gave some thought to this issue.

You are not to be blamed. The Taleo documentation is a bit confusing. Especially with respect to the URL to be used.
