WSDL PORT ELEMENT

WSDL PORT ELEMENT

A <port> element defines an individual endpoint by specifying a single address for a binding.
Here is the grammer to specify a port:

<wsdl:definitions .... > <wsdl:service .... > * <wsdl:port name="nmtoken" binding="qname"> * <-- extensibility element (1) --> </wsdl:port> </wsdl:service> </wsdl:definitions>

• The port element has two attributes - the name attribute and the binding attribute.
• The name attribute provides a unique name among all ports defined within in the enclosing WSDL document.
• The binding attribute refers to the binding using the linking rules defined by WSDL.
• Binding extensibility elements (1) are used to specify the address information for the port.
• A port MUST NOT specify more than one address.
• A port MUST NOT specify any binding information other than address information.

Here is the pice of code from Example session:

<service name="Hello_Service"> <documentation>WSDL File for HelloService</documentation> <port binding="tns:Hello_Binding" name="Hello_Port"> <soap:address location="http://www.examples.com/SayHello/"> </port> </service>
