Remarks

XML Web services discovery involves discovering the available Web Services given an URL. The URL usually points to a discovery document, which typically has a.disco file name extension. Within a discovery document are references to information about the existence of XML Web services. These references can refer to service descriptions, XML Schema Definition language (XSD) schemas or other discovery documents. This class represents a reference to a Service Description.

Within a discovery document, a reference to a Service Description is contained within a contractRef XML element. The contractRef XML element has two attributes: ref and docRef. The contractRef element must have an XML namespace matching the Namespace constant, whereas the ref and docRef attributes are placed in the Ref and DocRef properties.

Constructors

ContractReference()

Initializes a new instance of the ContractReference class using default values.

ContractReference(String)

Initializes a new instance of the ContractReference class using the supplied reference to a Service Description.

ContractReference(String, String)

Initializes a new instance of the ContractReference class using the supplied references to a service description and a XML Web service implementing the service description.

Fields

Namespace

XML namespace for service description references in discovery documents.

Properties

ClientProtocol

Gets or sets the instance of DiscoveryClientProtocol used in a discovery process.

(Inherited from DiscoveryReference)
Contract

Gets a ServiceDescription object representing the service description.

DefaultFilename

Gets the name of the file to use by default when saving the referenced service description.

DocRef

Gets or sets the URL for a XML Web service implementing the service description referenced in the Ref property.

Ref

Gets or sets the URL to the referenced service description.

Url

Gets or sets the URL for the referenced Service Description.
