Hi
I'm trying to write some client side JavaScript to add an intranet site
to a users "My Links" list.

I'm using the web service.htc behaviour from Microsoft and I can use
webservices on from the main portal site or using the http://[protal
url]/MySite/_vti_bin/lists.asmx web service but when I try to use

http://[portal url]/sites/personal/[username]/_vti_bin/lists.asmx web
service it is missing the WSDL.

The MySite webservice doesn't seem return any lists with the
GetListCollection method. When I go the /sites/personal web service I
can click on the "Service Description" link and I get a 404 error.

Has anyone else encountered this, or can anyone suggest a nice way of
adding an "add to my links" button to an HTML page? I guess the other
option to try is going directly through the back end database, a web
service solution would be more elegant though.

You can get the WSDL by changing your URL to:

http://[portal url]/sites/personal/[username]/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?wsdl

Actually, you shouldn't get a 404 when you click the Service Description...My
link goes to:

http://it/sites/development/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL
or for a MySite:
http://h2/MySite/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL

If yours is like this, but you get a 404, there may be something wrong with
the installation.

Yeah, I did have the ?WSDL when I was trying to get the WSDL. I can get
the WSDL in a similar way to you have above, but according to the
GetListCollection method there are no lists in MySite.

When you click Site Settings in My Site you go to a URL that looks like
this:

http://portal/personal/[username]/_layouts/1033/settings.aspx

going to

http://portal/personal/[username]/

redirects you to http://portal/MySite/default.aspx

however you can find the web services at

http://portal/personal/[username]/_vti_bin/*.asmx

I figured that since there were no lists according http://portal/MySite
webservices, I might have more luck http://portal/personal/[username]
but this is missing the WSDL.

If you go to
http://h2/sites/personal/[username]/_vti_bin/lists.asmx?WSDL do you get
a 404 error?

Thanks for your help

This is interesting...the lists.asmx is actually located in the ISAPI folder,
but for some reason the ISAPI filter isn't redirecting the request if there
is a query string in this case. I get the same result as you. But it
shouldn't matter--that is, you should be able to get the lists using

http://<portalname>/MySite/_vti_bin/lists.asmx

Are you sure you're connecting as the right user? You might try it with a
SOAP client that doesn't depend on the WSDL. You could even write a simple
client in javascript in an .hta page to make the request.

Hopefully Wei-Dong XU has an idea...

I think writing a client that doesn't depend on the WSDL is going to be
the best option.

Thanks for your help.
