 A Web service is identified by a URL. The following is an example for a valid Web service:

http://soap.bluestone.com:80/interop/EchoService/EchoService.wsdl
It is quite cumbersome to use this URL every time you need to reference the Web service. The useService() method establishes a friendly name for a Web service URL, which can be referenced later from within the code. Here is an example:

<BODY ID="webServiceCallerBody" STYLE="behavior:url(webservice.htc)>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">
<!--
 webServiceCallerBody.useService(
   "http://soap.bluestone.com:80/interop/EchoService/EchoService.wsdl","echo");
// -->
</SCRIPT>
The following line assigns a friendly name to a Web service file (.asmx):

webServiceCallerBody.useService("echoService.asmx","echo");
Notice that echoService.asmx must reside in the same folder as the Web page that calls the WebService behavior. Same rule applies when you call the WSDL file:

webServiceCallerBody.useService("echoService.wsdl","echo");
The following line assigns a friendly name to a local disk file:

webServiceCallerBody.useService("D:\legacy\yehuda\uyehuda\column97\echoService.asmx?WSDL","echo");
You have to add the ?WSDL query string also when you have a full HTTP path:

webServiceCallerBody.useService("http://www.webreference.com/js/column97/echoService.asmx?WSDL","echo");
Suppose now that the Web service .asmx file is two levels up from the Web page (relative path):

webServiceCallerBody.useService("../../echoService.asmx?WSDL","echo");
And finally, here is an example for an .asmx file residing in a subfolder beneath the Web page:

webServiceCallerBody.useService("./subfolder/echoService.asmx?WSDL","echo");
