I’m facing a great problem here and i need some clarifications
Here is my explanation
- I’ve a machine Machine1
- I’ve hosted a web service WS1 in
Machine1 - I’ve a client application in Machine2
- I call the web service WS1 from
machine2 and the web service a file
in the path sent by the application
Okie works great!
Now,
- I host another web service in
machine1 – WS2 - The client from machine2 calls WS2
which in turn calls WS1 - Now WS1 tries to save a file
The question is will the file be saved in Machine1 or Machine2? In my scenario, i guess the file is trying to save itself in machine1 instead of machine2 as WS1 is calling WS2 and WS1 is in machine1. Any ideas?
Thank you
Regards

Where is the file being saved now in your first scenario? Is it sending the file to the client and the client is doing the saving? Or is the server saving a file sent by the client?
It really depends on how you’ve written the client and the web-service. If the web service (WS1) is physically saving the file to disk, then in scenario 2 it will be saved exactly the same because the web-service (WS1) hasn’t changed.
If the client is saving the file, then in the first scenario the file will be saved on machine2 (the client) but in scenario 2, unless WS2 is passing the file back to the client, it will probably be saved on machine1.
More clarification is required here, a relevant code sample of the client, WS1 and WS2 would also be helpful.
