is someone working on this task: http://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-28989?
The main reason I am using only the ws OkTech (btw great job!) is that moodle does not generate a WSDL from which you can automatically generate the classes in Eclipse or Nebeans for the soap protocol.
If more services become available this function will be very useful!
The information I got from Jerome was no.
I'm gradually working on my own solution in a round about way. I wrote a Java REST library to connect to the Moodle webservices. However I'm using the library to create JavaEE 6 webservices to run on a GlassFish server. The JavaEE 6 webservices does automatically create a WSDL file which conforms to the standard.
You can get the sources from http://www.beaconhillcott.net/. They are zipped NetBeans projects. Obviously they are subject to change as these are pre-release versions. Note I'm working towards Moodle 2.3 so some of the calls in the library and GlassFish webservices will not work until then.
If you go to the above site and look at the "READ MORE..." link for the MoodleServices there is a list of the currently accessible services I have coded to connect through the library, there are more calls in the library yet to expose which will be available in due course.
Although I'm not a C# programmer, I have managed to use the WSDL file to create a connection through to a Moodle server and get data back!
Obviously the better solution would be a WSDL file generated by the Moodle server but I expect that will come sometime in the future.
Hi Jerome,
i have solved this issue. How I can commit my code?
I have edite:
/webservice/lib.php
/webservice/soap/locallib.php
Fede
Excellent!!!!!!!!
How soon will this become available????????
hi,
this is my repo on github:
https://github.com/ghigio/moodle/tree/MDL-28988
Now i have this problem: i have tested my patch with che core ws and the OkTech ws integrated in moodle.
I can send the correct request but i can't cast the response.
Explain: i build the wsdl by reading the structure declared in name_of_function_parameter and all works fine.
If I do the same operation with the return type i get a mismatch because moodle return an array of <KEY> <VALUE> instead a real object.
Moodle get the request, but the user can't see the response.
I have corrected the type returned from the web services.
Now all the ws returning a multiple data structure returns an Object[ ].
This isn't the best option, i know. But this solution let the client collect the response without error. Moreover, if the client cast every element of the array to HashMap, all works (I'm using java axis 1.4 for the automatic class generation).
Federico,
Does this mean that with your code Moodle now generates a valid WSDL?
Thanks.
My code generate a valid WSDL for the input type of all function. The returned type instead is not correct.
The moodle soap server return an HashMap (kay, value) or an array of HashMap instead of objects. I could not generate a WSDL who describe this structure.
If you wanna test my patch, you can view it on github.
Thanks. I installed your branch from Git (2.3dev (Build: 20120504)) on my test machine. When I run the WS Test Client I get an error:
SOAP protocol: moodle_user_create_users
SoapFault exception: [Sender] Function ("moodle_user_create_users") is not a valid method for this service in C:\Moodle\AppWS\lib\zend\Zend\Soap\Client.php:1113
Stack trace:

#2 C:\Moodle\AppWS\admin\webservice\testclient.php(154): webservice_soap_test_client->simpletest('http://localhos...', 'moodle_user_cre...', Array)
#3 {main}
I checked my Web Service settings and all "seems" ok - but I am a total newbie at this so...
I created a custom service and called it wsuser. I added only two functions: core_user_create_users and core_user_update_users. "No required capability" is set for wsuser and it is enabled.
The SOAP protocol is enabled under Site admin/ Plugins/ Web services/ Manage protocols
When I run the URL generated by the test client: http://localhost/moodlews/webservice/soap/server.php?wstoken=24a99fcd781c2a7b2a493c1a80343ab8 I get an invalid XML error:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
- <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">
- <SOAP-ENV:Body>
- <SOAP-ENV:Fault>
<faultcode>Sender</faultcode>
<faultstring>Invalid XML</faultstring>
</SOAP-ENV:Fault>
</SOAP-ENV:Body>
</SOAP-ENV:Envelope>
I just noticed that the Web service test client only contains the moodle_* functions for the SOAP protocol, e.g. moodle_user_create_users. The core_user_create_users and core_user_update_users functions that I selected in the setup aren't available. It's probably MDL-31609 come to haunt me again...
Hi, i've just update my repo with a new patch.
I have test it with a java client: in eclipse I have created a new Web Service Client
(right click on an existing project -> new -> other and then select Web Services -> Web services Client)
Then i have imported the moodle wsdl from http://localhost/webservice/soap/server.php?wstoken=your_token&wsdl=1
Then i have created a new class and used the server locator autogenerated by axis 1.4
(see the attached file)
Let me know if this work. Sorry for the late reply
Hi Frederico,
Your project looks promising.
we need the wsdl urgently at our university. We also have a team that could support you!
If you are interested, please feel free to contact me any time.
If you are very interested, my github name ist uzuzjmd.

I have added a new branch on git://github.com/ghigio/moodle.git: MDL-28988-v2.
In this branch the current soap server is untached and a new soap server called soapfda has been added in the webservice folder. This way i do not broke any existing client.
Give it a try!
Hi!
I suppose that you have installed my patch and activated it. To obtain the wsdl of all the available services (and so the one you are looking for) you have to call this url
http://your-moodle/webservice/soapfda/server.php?wsdl=1&wstoken=yourtoken
I've tested the wsdl with axis and soapui, not with a php client. Please, let me know if you have trouble.
Hi,
where could I found your patch and how it could be installed?
Thanks
hi,
je créer des services web dans un annuaire uddi et je veux faire l'invocation des ses services ,
s'il vais plait, si vous avez une réponse aide moi et merci
