Running Web Service (WSDL) on SFDC ?

Does SFDC run a web-service that I can connect to to retrieve WSDL "on-the-fly" ?

No, but...

Using frontdoor.jsp you should be able to get the wsdl. The retUrl should be:

/soap/wsdl.jsp?type=* for the enterprise wsdl and /soap/wsdl.jsp for the partner wsdl.

You'll probably need to follow some redirects before actuall getting to the wsdl.

I am having some serious issues generating the SFDC SOAP services, etc, from the 6.0 WSDL.... I had the same issue about 2 months ago and it never got resolved --

either (a) Ask the sun folks to fix their broken tools or (b) use tools that suck less.

I have the exact same issue.  naming conflict on DescribeLayout type. Any clues?
SuperfellSuperfell
Yeah, ask Sun to fix their buggy tools.
KrishnamoorthyKrishnamoorthy
After looking at the wsdl file, I think I may have found a workaround. Just rename the DescribeLayout or any other type that has a naming conflict. It works. But I am still suspicious if the wscompile has generated all the types correctly. Not sure I trust this tool.
