Can a webservice call another webservice?

[Chris Ludlow]

Hi all,

I want one WebService I have, say on a server in Los Angeles, to call
methods I have in a 2nd WebService on another server, say in New York.
First of all, is it possible for two Web Services to interact like this?
Maybe I am just trying to connect them incorrectly. What I am doing is
this: in my VS.NET project for the 1st service, I am trying to add a
WebReference to the 2nd service, which works, but I can't reference it in
the code. It always says that the type or namespace of the 2nd service I
just added cannot be found.

Any ideas?

Hi Chris,

Open the proxy file that is generated for your web service and see what
namespace you should use to reference the 2nd web server in your code. It
should be not a problem.

This can work seemlessly. Make sure you are using the correct namespace
name. You can find it out from the proxy file.
