Different urls to same ws?

[Jukka Kenttälä]

Hi!

We are developing a web service that needs to use several
databases (each company that uses this web service has
their own database). Is it possible to create a different
url for each database and still use the same web service?

Is it possible to have company 'A' use web services by
referencing [url]http://www.xxx.fi/A/service1.asmx?wdsl[/url] and
company 'B' using [url]http://www.xxx.fi/B/service1.asmx?wdsl[/url] ?

And if we can somehow use different urls then how can we
tell in web service code which url the request came from?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

From the description, you want to access a web service from different URL.
To achieve this, we can store the web service related files in a physical
folder, for example c:\webservice. In IIS, we can create multiple virtual
folder to the physical folder, for example, webserviceA and webserviceB.
And the web service can be access with:

[url]http://www.xxx.fi/webserviceA/service1.asmx?wdsl[/url]
[url]http://www.xxx.fi/webserviceB/service1.asmx?wdsl[/url]

In the web service, you can distinguish the request from different url with
following string:

Context.Request.Path

Hope this help,
