WSDL

10/28/2015

- WSDL(Web Services Description Language) is XML based language for describing Web Services and how to access them. It defines a control between the producer and consumer of a SOA web service.

- Document written in XML. The document describes the Web Service. It specifies the location of the service and the operations (or Methods) the service exposes.

Major Constituents of a WSDL:


  1. Types
  2. Message
  3. Prototype
  4. Binding

Before proceeding with the WSDL, we have to check what details are available in WSDL.



Note: Looks like every web service(Ex: Calculator, GoogleSearchEngine...) has WSDL web service url, using which you could test the web service. So WSDL could be found as URL.
