Web Connection (SOAP Communication) Service

The Web Connection service was previously referred to as the Soap Communication service. The Web Connection service provides an underlying SOAP-based communication mechanism for client-service applications. Therefore, this is not a user-oriented service that delivers translation results. FME Workbench uses the SOAP service to connect to FME Server via http.

This service works with valid SOAP requests based on the following web services description language (WSDL):

http://<host>/fmesoap/IFMEServerSoapService?wsdl

A SOAP client should send requests to the following URL:

http://<host>/fmesoap/IFMEServerSoapService

A SOAP response is returned to the client through HTTP.
