Can web service client be replaced with wcf client

Question

Hi,

In my application I am consuming non-microsoft(Oracle) webservices.

And I would like to know whether I can replace this webservice client with WCF client?

Thanks,

Rocky

Answer 1

Service oriented architectures are intended to fully decouple services from clients, so you should be able to replace any web service client with a different kind of web service client just fine.

Hope that answers your question

Answer 2

Thanks Youssef,

In such case, how do you suggest me to replace this. What should be the approach?

Answer 3

You probably want to start by running svcutil against the service, and then trying to use the client that svcutil provides just like you would have used your previous client.
