Posting to PartnerLink with No Exposed WSDL?

Question

I have a web service that I am posting to that hosts it directly on a url like this .... http://server:81/. There is no exposed ?WSDL address. When I put this URL with port in the location in my config file I get an error when I try to post to it. For other partner link config file locations you put the full path to the WSDL files.
<summary>oracle.fabric.common.FabricException: Cannot read WSDL "{http://www.upslogisticstech.com/UPSLT/TransportationSuite/TransportationWebService}TransportationWebService" from Metadata Manager.: WSDLException: faultCode=INVALID_WSDL: Invalid XML in document at: http://server:81/, line: {1}, column: {2}: oracle.xml.parser.v2.XMLParseException: End tag does not match start tag 'br'.</summary>
<reference name="XXXX">
<!--Add search and replace rules for the binding properties-->
<binding type="ws">
<attribute name="port">
<replace>http://www.upslogisticstech.com/UPSLT/TransportationSuite/TransportationWebService#wsdl.endpoint(TransportationWebService/TransportationWebService)</replace>
</attribute>
<attribute name="location">

When I created the partnerlink I have the unexposed WSDL when I create it. I just referenced a local wsdl file in the project. I can import this WSDL in soapUI and post directly to the port ok. How do I configure this in my partner link? I don't want the location to expect a WSDL file.

Hello,
What you try to do is certainly possible. When I look at your config plan, replacing the port name looks suspect to me. Is that port name the same as the port name in your local wsdl file?
I would try to make it work without using a config plan first. So modify the location in the composite.xml and try if that works. After that you can go on and create a config plan to replace the location.
