The WSDL Editor enables you to edit Web Services Description Language (WSDL) files. WSDL is an XML-based language for describing web services. A WSDL file contains information about the functionality of the web service, as well as information about how to access the web service. The editor supports version 1.1 of the WSDL specification.
In a BPEL Module project, you use WSDL files to define the interfaces for business processes and their partner services.
You can create a WSDL file from scratch, or based on an existing WSDL file.
The WSDL Editor provides a Source view and a WSDL view.
A WSDL file has the following major elements: data types, messages, port types, bindings, and services.
You can add the following BPEL extensibility elements to the WSDL file: partner link types, properties, and property aliases.
The WSDL Editor includes a validation tool. The validation tool reviews the WSDL file for problems with syntax and semantics. The Output window displays any errors or warnings.
