Viewing the WSDL of a Web Service Operation |
|
Before you begin this task:
You must have created the Web service operation.
WSDL is the foundation for creating a Web service operation. As a developer, you must know the WSDL based on which you are developing the Web service operation. By reading the WSDL, you will know whether the Web service operation that you created complies with the communication standards that are laid down in the WSDL. It helps you in diagnosing a problem, if any.
After checking the WSDL, you can Test the Web service operation before using it at run time.
- In Workspace Documents (Explorer), open <solution> > <project> >
> 
, right-click 
(<Web service operation>) and select Show WSDL. The WSDL window appears, displaying the Web service definition in XML. - Read the WSDL for communication ports, Web service location, input and output SOAP messages, binding, and operation.
- Close the WSDL window. The _WSDL_window closes.
You have viewed the WSDL of a Web service operation.
