As I previously described, WSDL stands for Web Services Description Language.…It's the XML based language that describes a web services functionality and usage.…Most WSDL documents are automatically generated by the server.…And then read and understood by the client library.…But they are human-readable as well.…The official specification for WSDL…documents is at this address: www.w3.org/TR/wsdl20/.…
The root element of a WSDL document is named definitions.…It typically has a name and a target name space.…The target name space is the name space associated with this web service.…It then declares a number of other name…spaces, the WSDL name space for the elements within…this document, the soap name space, the service…name space again, and the XML schema name space.…Now, the best way to understand…WSDL is to look at a real WSDL document. So, I'm…going to go to a browser and go to this address;…www.xmlme.com/WSShakespeare.asmx?wsdl.…
This is the WSDL document for a service that I mentioned in a previous movie.…
