Invoking WSDL Default Service

This section provides a tutorial example on how to access the default service of a given WSDL document and invoke a given operation using quick access syntax.

How to Invoke WSDL Default Service with Zeep Library? The WSDL default service is defined as the first service specified in a WSDL document. The "service" attribute of a zeep.client.Client object provides you a quick access of the default service.

So for the WSDL document, Hello_WSDL_11_SOAP, used in the previous tutorial, the following two statements are equivalent:

client.service 

client.bind('helloService', 'helloPort')

Operation list members are also defined as attributes in a zeep.proxy.ServiceProxy object. So the following two statements are equivalent:

service.Hello 

service['Hello']

Here is Python script example that invokes the default service and call the "Hello" operation using quick access syntax:

#- WSDL_Default_Service.py
#- Copyright (c) 2019 HerongYang.com. All Rights Reserved.
#
import sys
from zeep import Client

wsdl = "https://www.herongyang.com/Service/Hello_WSDL_11_SOAP.wsdl"
if (len(sys.argv)>1)
  wsdl = sys.argv[1]

client = Client(wsdl)
result = client.service.Hello("Hello from client.")
print(result)

Run the test script with default WSDL 1.1 document. It worked well too.

herong$ python3 WSDL_Default_Service.py 

      Hello from server - herongyang.com.
