WSDL Files

When documenting a Web service, you must provide a WSDL document. This document provides critical information about the Web service that both the developers and programming tools need. In a compact, concrete way, this document describes everything, including:

• Messages that the Web service understands and the format of its responses to those messages

• Protocols that the service supports

• Where to send messages

All of this information combines to give the programmer a view of how the system expects outside applications to interact with the Web service. The WSDL is therefore the main piece of documentation your users need.

The WSDL file can be generated in JADE.
