Develop Your Client Application

The client application makes calls to the Employee Web Services. You can build it from scratch or add new code to an existing application. This application can use any language or technology (Java, .NET, etc.). The application can be Windows-based or Web-based.

1. Add the service reference that you obtained in the Generate the Web Service WSDL and Place in Client Application topic into a new or existing client application.
   For example:

   • Visual Studio: right-click in the Solution Explorer, click Add Service Reference, and type the URL provided by PureSafety.
   • IntelliJ IDEA: Add a new Web service client in your Java package. For the Apache Axis client type, provide the URL provided by PureSafety.
   • If your client application is Windows-based, you can generate a proxy for the Web service by using the Wsdl.exe tool (WSDL) and then use that proxy to access the API Web service
2. Reference the System.Web.Service.dll and System.Xml.dll libraries in your application. The following classes are created automatically in your application: Client, UserLoginWebServiceEntity, and EmployeeWebServiceEntity.
3. When calling your actions in the web service, specify the appropriate values in the class parameters.
   For example, employees' first and last names might come from manual data entry, another database, or a flat file such as an .xml file.
