Hi,
"or am I pointing to the WSDL file [http://127.0.0.1/INDS.wsdl] and if so how does that communicate with the actual InD Server?"
Yes you need to do exactally what I posted earlier. Place the the wsdl file on your webserver in the same directory as your index.html file. [http://127.0.0.1/INDS.wsdl] or any where you can hit it.
Then open that wsdl in any text editor and edit the end of the file where the text looks like this:
<service name="Service">
<documentation>gSOAP 2.7.0c generated service definition</documentation>
<port name="Service" binding="tns:Service">
<SOAP:address location="http://127.0.0.1:18555"/>
</port>
</service>
Try starting your INDS at port [18555] thats seems to work well for me.
"How does an instance of InD Server running on port 5555 know where this WSDL file is?"
The WSDL tells INDS Where it is not the other way around. Once a "request" is sent from the wsdl then INDS will procees the request then it sends back a "response" to the wsdl telling you what happened.
