When I use the Delphi X2 WSDL importer with the above URL using the default values, I get the following error: Failed to load WSDL file / location: http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl . Error [The requested title was not found - URL: http://ec.europa.eu/taxation_customs/vies/checkVatService.wsdl - SOAPAction: ""

What am I doing worng?

Answer 1

Save the wsdl file to disk and import the saved XML file. After creating the pas file, change the string matchCode = (1, 2) to (_1, _2).
