Hi
We have created a bunch of web services which is consumed by a partner. The services are created in IS 7.1.2, and that´s causing some trouble (we use the built in web service descriptor to defined web services).
The problem is that the web service path contain a colon (“:”), which causes problem for some of our partners.
They use custom tools to generate .Net proxies (for some pass-through services), and the tool tries to create an asmx file containing a color - which is not possible.
Sample path:
[FONT=Times New Roman][URL=“http://IS-server/ws/my.web.services:myService”][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial][I][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=#0000ff]http://IS-server/ws/my.web.services[/color][COLOR=red][B]:[/b][/color][/font][/i][I][FONT=Calibri][COLOR=#0000ff]myService[/color][/font][/i][/FONT][/size][/URL][/FONT]
Generated partner path:
[FONT=Times New Roman][FONT=Times New Roman][URL=“http://server/ws/my.web.services:myService"][I][FONT=Calibri][URL="http://server/ws/my.web.services:myService.asmx”][COLOR=blue][SIZE=2][FONT=Arial]http://server/ws/my.web.services[B]:[/b][/font][/size][/color][/URL][/FONT][/i][URL=“http://server/ws/my.web.services:myService.asmx”][I][FONT=Calibri][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=blue]myService[/color][/size][/font][/FONT][/i][/URL][FONT=Arial][SIZE=2][COLOR=blue].asmx[/color][/size][/font][/URL][/FONT][/FONT]
The problem here is that their tool tries to create an asmx file (physical file) with the name my.web.services:myService.asmx, which is not possible due to OS (win) limitaitons
Apparently it´s quite a big task to change this behaviour, so my question is:
Is it possible to have the IS skip the colon or to replace it with some other character?
This has haunted us for a while and any help highly is appreciated 
Best regards,
Mikael
