Creating a WSDL File
See Also
Web Services Description Language (WSDL) is an XML-based specification
for describing a web service. WSDL defines a web service as a set of endpoints or
ports operating on messages.
WSDL is extensible to allow the description of endpoints and their associated
messages regardless of what message formats or network protocols are used to communicate.
For details on WSDL files, see About WSDL Files.
To create a WSDL file:
- In the Projects window or Files window, right-click the project node
and choose New > File/Folder. In the New File wizard, choose Web Services
under Categories and choose WSDL File under File Types. Click Next.
The New WSDL File wizard opens.
- Type the WSDL file name name and specify a folder to house it.
- Specify the namespace of the elements (such as
message, portType, binding) defined in the WSDL file.
- Specify the XML schemas needed by the WSDL file, if any.
- Click Finish.
The IDE creates a WSDL file for you, with default code that you can modify
according to your business needs.
- Create a web service from the WSDL file.
