# SOAP client proxy documentation

`WorkCalendar` is a svcutil-generated proxy for the SAIF-internal ASMX service `SAIFDates`† (`http://saifonline/webservices/SAIFDates/saifdates.asmx`), carried in `SAIF.Services.Web.Proxies`. The authored `WorkCalendarServiceProxy` wrapper passes through all four contract operations, but no repository source constructs `WorkCalendarServiceProxy` itself. A separate, external `IWorkCalendarService`/`WorkCalendarService` abstraction is what this repository's business code actually depends on for work-calendar logic, and it is not shown to use this proxy.

| Field | Value |
| --- | --- |
| **Proxy name** | `WorkCalendar` |
| **Mechanism** | Service Reference (svcutil) |
| **Generated namespace** | `SAIF.Services.Web.Proxies.WorkCalendar` |
| **Generated artifacts** | `Services/SAIF.Services.Web.Proxies/Service References/WorkCalendar/` |
| **WSDL document** | `Services/SAIF.Services.Web.Proxies/Service References/WorkCalendar/saifdates.wsdl` |
| **Proxy base type** | `System.ServiceModel.ClientBase<T>` (`internal`) |
| **Hand-written wrapper** | `WorkCalendarServiceProxy` (`Services/SAIF.Services.Web.Proxies/WorkCalendarServiceProxy.cs`) |
| **Consuming project** | `SAIF.Services.Web.Proxies` |
| **Target service** | `SAIFDates`† |
| **Endpoint source** | Constructor argument (`serviceUrl`), supplied by the caller of `WorkCalendarServiceProxy` |
| **Binding** | `BasicHttpBinding()` (all defaults — `MaxReceivedMessageSize = 65536`, security `None`) constructed in code |
| **Operations present** | 4 |
| **Operations called** | 4 (via the wrapper's own call sites; the wrapper itself has no in-repository caller — see [Operation map](operation-map.md)) |

## Documentation sections

| Section | Description |
| --- | --- |
| [Overview](overview.md) | Which service is called, who consumes the proxy, and capability summary |
| [Architecture](architecture.md) | How the proxy is constructed, configured, and invoked |
| [Contract](contract.md) | The WSDL-declared operations, messages, faults, and binding |
| [Operation map](operation-map.md) | Operations present in the proxy versus operations actually called |
| [Client reference](reference.md) | One section per operation called from repository source |
| [Consumption](consumption.md) | Construction, disposal, resilience, and endpoint configuration |
| [Dependencies](dependencies.md) | Packages, framework components, and the called service |
| [Tech debt](tech-debt.md) | CRITICAL and HIGH severity findings |

## Called service

| Attribute | Value |
| --- | --- |
| Service name | `SAIFDates`† |
| Documented by this run | No |
| Service documentation | `SAIFDates`† |
| Endpoint address | Unresolved** — supplied by whoever constructs `WorkCalendarServiceProxy(serviceUrl)`; no repository source does so |
| Address source | `Services/SAIF.Services.Web.Proxies/WorkCalendarServiceProxy.cs:12-19` (constructor argument); candidate environment key `workCalendarServiceUrl` = `http://saifonline/webservices/SAIFDates/saifdates.asmx` on every track, unread by any repository source |
| SOAP namespace | `http://saifonline/SAIFDates/SAIFDates` |
