Is a Web Service Runtime available in .Net Core

My team has written maintains a library that wraps functionality around a full framework .net .dll, specifically the IBM FileNet.Api.dll. We have been transitioning our library to use .net Standard and so far, all is well. After creating a .net core app and attempting to connect to FileNet, we run into a web service runtime problem.

Here is the error that is thrown:

The operation cannot be completed because a supported web service runtime is not present. Either Microsoft Web Services Extensions (WSE) 3.0 or the Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) is required.

Does anyone know of a NuGet package that provides this runtime for .net Core or a workaround for this issue?

Updade: I have now had several conversations with the engineer team at IBM and they do not support .NET Core, nor do they plan on supporting it at this time. What I am doing is to create a .NET Framework 4.x API to basically convert to and from FileNet. It's a bit janky but when the customer wants their API in .NET Core I'm having to build something to make it work.

I'm running into the same issue. From what I've discovered System.Web.Services which is used by the FileNet.Api.dll and IBM's CEWSI for creating SOAP connections has been deprecated after .NET Framework 4.x in favor of WCF and is not available in .NET Core, .NET Standard, nor .NET 5.

It also appears that Microsoft is pushing developers to use REST instead of SOAP. I have not found anything from IBM to replace the DLL or CEWSI.

Sorry this isn't more useful, I'm still trying to figure out how to use .NET Core with it as well and short of basically recreating the functionality myself I haven't found a viable solution.
