What is WSDL and disco file ?

Answer Posted / ankur pandit

WSDL-Web Service Description Language-

- WSDL is an XML format for describing network services as
a set of endpoints operating on

messages containing either document-oriented or procedure-
oriented information.

-The operations and messages are described abstractly, and
then bound to a concrete network

protocol and message format to define an endpoint.

- Related concrete endpoints are combined into abstract
endpoints (services).

- WSDL is extensible to allow description of endpoints and
their messages regardless of what

message formats or network protocols are used to
communicate, however, the only bindings

described in this document describe how to use WSDL in
conjunction with SOAP 1.1, HTTP

GET/POST, and MIME.

-The WSDL defines services as collections of network
endpoints, or ports. WSDL specification

provides an XML format for documents for this purpose.

-The abstract definition of ports and messages is separated
from their concrete use or

instance, allowing the reuse of these definitions.

- A port is defined by associating a network address with a
reusable binding, and a

collection of ports define a service.

-Messages are abstract descriptions of the data being
exchanged, and port types are abstract

collections of supported operations.

-The concrete protocol and data format specifications for a
particular port type constitutes

a reusable binding, where the messages and operations are
then bound to a concrete network

protocol and message format. In this way, WSDL describes
the public interface to the web

service.



-Web Services Description Language Version 2.0 (WSDL 2.0)
provides a model and an XML format

for describing Web services.

-WSDL 2.0 enables one to separate the description of the
abstract functionality offered by a

service from concrete details of a service description such
as “how” and “where” that

functionality is offered.
