I am trying to understand the mechanics of invoking a XML Web Service of .NET via the Internet and intranet:
1) the Internet
By using UDDI, client can get URL of "access point" for a web service on a remote server. The question is: the access point is actually a control URL, if the client try to read WSDL for understanding the SOAP interface, where is the URL for the WSDL of a specific Web service?
If using UDDL, the access point URL is pointing the a service rather than a URL to a computer with a set of services (In my idea, a computer can be regarded as "Web Service Set), in this case DISCO will be useless. Am I right?
2) intranet
By using specific technologies, client get an URL to a computer. Because on a computer there might be different Web Service with different control URL(access point), the client should get the DISCO file for the URL of a computer, and parse DISCO file, and finally get the access point (control URL) to a specific service. Am I right?
If so, where is the URL for WSDL? in disco file? Does disco file include only control URL or both cotnrol URL and WSDL URL?
Thanks
