I’m trying to call the DocumentService from the InvoiceService and have been following this guide: https://abp.io/docs/latest/guides/synchronous-interservice-communication I suspect that some parts of the guide are either incorrect or outdated — especially the module dependency part referencing typeof(ProductServiceHttpApiClientModule), which I can’t find in our solution. Could it actually refer to ProductServiceContractsModule instead? Anyway, I’m getting an error in the deployment logs in the InvoiceService (seems that DocumentService endpoints are not found?):

    0To enable synchronous communication between services in ABP (such as calling DocumentService from InvoiceService), you must reference the correct modules and configure dependencies as described in the official guide. Based on your error, the problem is that the dependency injection system cannot resolve the IDocumentsAppService in your InvoiceManager. This typically means the HttpApi.Client module for DocumentService is not referenced or registered properly in InvoiceService. Here is the correct approach, following the official documentation: - Reference the HttpApi.Client Project
- In your InvoiceService.Application (or equivalent) project, add a reference to the DocumentService.HttpApi.Client project:
 
 <ProjectReference Include="..\..\..\document\src\DocumentService.HttpApi.Client\DocumentService.HttpApi.Client.csproj" />- Add Module Dependency
- In your InvoiceServiceApplicationModule, add a dependency on the DocumentServiceHttpApiClientModule:
 
 [DependsOn( typeof(DocumentServiceHttpApiClientModule) )] public class InvoiceServiceApplicationModule : AbpModule { // ... }- The guide's reference to ProductServiceHttpApiClientModuleis just an example. You should use the actual module class from your DocumentService.HttpApi.Client project, which is typically namedDocumentServiceHttpApiClientModule.
 - Configure Remote Service Endpoints
- In your InvoiceService.HttpApi.Host's appsettings.json, configure the remote service endpoint for DocumentService:
 
- In your InvoiceService.HttpApi.Host's 
 "RemoteServices": { "Default": { "BaseUrl": "https://your-document-service-url/" } }- Do Not Use Contracts Module for Remote Calls - The Contracts module (DocumentServiceContractsModule) is for sharing DTOs and interfaces, not for enabling remote HTTP calls. You must use the HttpApi.Client module for remote service proxies.
 
- The Contracts module (
- Rebuild and Restart - After making these changes, rebuild your solution and restart the services.
 
 If you follow these steps and ensure the correct module is referenced and registered, the DI system will be able to resolve IDocumentsAppServiceas a dynamic HTTP proxy, and your error should be resolved.Sources:

- Reference the HttpApi.Client Project

    0I dont have any DocumentService.HttpApi.Client project. Only DocumentService, and since we are using multiple repos (InvoiceService and DocumentService are separated in different Git repos), we would rather not include the DocuemntService code in the InvoiceSerivce repo. Best regards,

    0hi Could you share some code to help us understand your case? You can use Static C# API Client Proxiesbetween your services.https://abp.io/docs/latest/framework/api-development/static-csharp-clients?_redirected=B8ABF606AA1BDF5C629883DF1061649A Thanks.

    0With pleasure! In this case, when an event is received, an invoice is generated that should be uploaded to the DocumentService. I’ve included the entire DocumentService.Contracts project in the InvoiceService. using DocumentService.Documents; using Volo.Abp.DependencyInjection; using Volo.Abp.EventBus.Distributed; using Volo.Abp.Uow; namespace InvoiceService; public class InvoiceAttestedAckEventHandler : IDistributedEventHandler<InvoiceAttestedAckEto>, ITransientDependency { protected InvoiceManager _invoiceManager; protected IInvoiceRepository _invoiceRepository; protected IDocumentsAppService _documentsAppService; public InvoiceAttestedAckEventHandler( InvoiceManager invoiceManager, IInvoiceRepository invoiceRepository, IDocumentsAppService documentsAppService ) { _invoiceManager = invoiceManager; _invoiceRepository = invoiceRepository; _documentsAppService = documentsAppService; } /// <summary> /// As soon as an event arrives, a PDF invoice is generated and this invoice is uploaded to the DocumentService. /// </summary> /// <param name="eventData"></param> [UnitOfWork] public async Task HandleEventAsync(InvoiceAttestedAckEto eventData) { var invoice = await _invoiceManager.SetAttestedAckAsync(eventData.InvoiceId, eventData.CorrelationId); byte[] pdfArray = await _invoiceManager.CreateInvoicePdf(eventData.InvoiceId, false); // Upload to document service await _documentsAppService.UploadAsync(new DocumentUploadDto { FileContent = pdfArray, Filename = invoice.SequenceNumber + ".pdf" }); // Create document in document service var documentCreateDto = new DocumentCreateDto { Index = 0, Description = invoice.Subject, Collection = null }; await _documentsAppService.CreateAsync(documentCreateDto); } }I assume I might need to have client proxies as well? Best regards

    0hi Yes, You need to create static proxy for DocumentServicein yourInvoiceServiceservice and createInvoiceServiceproxy in yourDocumentServiceThanks.

    0hi You need to create static proxy for DocumentService in your InvoiceService service and create InvoiceService proxy in your DocumentService Can you share your Static Proxy code? You can also share your project source code. liming.ma@volosoft.com Thanks. 
- 
    0Thanks, I’ve made some progress. After rearranging the static client proxies as follows: MyProject.InvoiceService/MyProjectInvoiceServiceModule.cs // Prepare for static client proxy generation context.Services.AddStaticHttpClientProxies( typeof(DocumentServiceContractsModule).Assembly, remoteServiceConfigurationName: "Default" ); // Include the generated app-generate-proxy.json in the virtual file system Configure<AbpVirtualFileSystemOptions>(options => { options.FileSets.AddEmbedded<InvoiceServiceModule>(); });it works better. I’ve also added values in appsettings.json (as well as in the Helm charts) as follows: "IdentityClients": { "Default": { "GrantType": "client_credentials", "ClientId": "_InvoiceService", "ClientSecret": "1q2w3e*", "Authority": "http://myproject-authserver", "Scope": "DocumentService", "RequireHttps": "false" } },Gives: [19:25:49 ERR] Could not retrieve the OpenId Connect discovery document!
