Error when Consuming a WS from an ABAP program

Question

Hello,
I am getting an error when I try to consume a WS from my ABAP program. The error states ' Unexpected element -el=definitions ns=http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/' and the code is SOAP: 14
This should be a simple call to a WS from BOBJ. I have searched OSS and SDN and I can't find any help. We are using 7.01 SP3
Actually I watched the blog by Thomas Jung to get me started and thing went well except forthe part where I was supposed to create the logical port via SOAMANAGER. I got this error 'Error: Initial value "context operation table" in methodDELETE_INVALID_INTERFACE_NODES of class CL_SRT_WSP_CONFIG_SIDL' so I used LPCONFIG instead and them SM59.
Has anyone encountered something like this?
Thanks!

Ok so I got the bright idea of putting an external breakpoint in the DELETE_INVALID_INTERFACE_NODES method of class CL_SRT_WSP_CONFIG_SIDL and interestingly I think I am on to something. The code that is throwing an expection is srt_wsp_error_is_initial lt_operations[] 'context operation table'. "#EC NOTEXT at approximentally line 89.
So I am doing my amateur sleuthing in the debugger and it leads me to the WSDL and what looks like a missing operation for a port type. I say this b/c all the port type /port type  tags have operation/operation tags embedded within them. simliar to this
   <portType name="Real-time_Services" />
- <portType name="Batch_Jobs">
- <operation name="Oracle">
  <input message="tns:Oracle_Input" />
  <output message="tns:Oracle_Output" />
  </operation>
  </portType>
- <portType name="Realtime_Service_Admin">
- <operation name="Get_RTService_List">
  <input message="tns:Get_RTService_List_Input" />
  <output message="tns:Get_RTService_List_Output" />
  </operation>
- <operation name="Run_Realtime_Service">
  <input message="tns:Run_Realtime_Service_Input" />
  <output message="tns:Run_Realtime_Service_Output" />
  </operation>
- <operation name="Get_RTMsg_Format">
  <input message="tns:Get_RTMsg_Format_Input" />
  <output message="tns:Get_RTMsg_Format_Output" />
  </operation>
  </portType>
Note the first port type = Real-time_services doesn't have an end port tag and in the debugger my ABAP is shortdumping when trying to proess this port type
I think I found my error. Can anyone who has seen this before verify this for me before I give the WSDL creator heck
Thanks
