Node-soap client.describe()?

Question

I have tried to consume a web service by using local WSDL file. There are two WDSLs that I have used.

GDSQueue.wsdl
GDSQueueAbstract.wsdl

The first one, GDSQueue.wsdl imports GDSQueueAbstract.wsdl. But in node-soap, when I use client.describe(), it shows following out put:

{ GdsQueueService: 
   { GdsQueueCountServicePort: {},
     GdsQueueListServicePort: {},
     GdsQueuePlaceServicePort: {},
     GdsEnterQueueServicePort: {},
     GdsExitQueueServicePort: {},
     GdsNextOnQueueServicePort: {},
     GdsClearQueueServicePort: {},
     GdsQueueAgentListServicePort: {} } }

Now to call a service, I should use

 GdsQueueService.GdsQueueCountServicePort.service(params , callback)

but there is not any service method for calling this web service. As a result, I cant understand Why node-soap does not create service method.

Please add the actual WSDLs you are working with to your question, so we can better see why it's breaking. — SlightlyCuban, Nov 04 '14 at 17:01

The question is unclear, however you can verify the syntaxis of the call, as you should use it like

soap.createClient(urlOfTheWebService, function (err, client) 
{
  client.GdsQueueService.GdsQueueCountServicePort(parameter,function(err, result) 
  {
      //do something with the result or the error received
       console.log(result);
  });
}

);

there is no reason to add .service at the end of your call

Node-soap client.describe()?
