ATP WSDL Wizard
A WSDL (Web Services Description Language) document is an XML-encoded
document that describes web services as a set of endpoints operating on messages. The
operations and messages are described both in abstract concept and concrete network
protocol and message formats. With these descriptions, a client application could format
request messages to access specific operations and interpret corresponding response
messages.
The ATP WSDL Wizard is a step-by-step tool that guides you to create a WSDL
document for your web services. By publishing a WSDL document, you effectively
publish your web services to any SOAP clients that have access to this document.
The current version of the ATP WSDL Wizard is implemented according to WSDL
specifications 1.1 (see http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/NOTE-wsdl-20010315) with the
following considerations:
•
Supports procedure-oriented messages (RPC style)
•
Supports either one-way operation or request-response operation
•
Supports any number of input arguments (message parts) but only one output
argument (message part), which is the return value
•
Supports simple data types (string, int, double)
•
Creates single service and single port in a document
To use this tool, you need to provide the following information about your web services:
•
WSDL File Name
•
Host Name
•
Service Name
•
Port Name
•
Number of Operations
Caution. The ATP WSDL Viewer is written as a sample program using the ATP SOAP Library
and is provided as is. You are free to include it in your application or change it for your own use.
However, any use of this tool is at your own risk. Compaq does not assume any responsibility
for this tool and does not support this tool.
