WSDL SERVICE ELEMENT

WSDL SERVICE ELEMENT

• The <service> element defines the ports supported by the Web service. For each of the supported protocols, there is one port element. The service element is a collection of ports.
• Web service clients can learn from the service element where to access the service, through which port to access the Web service, and how the communication messages are defined.
• The service element includes a documentation element to provide human-readable documentation.

Here is a 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>

The binding attributes of por element associate the address of the service with a binding element defined in the Web service. In this example this is Hello_Binding

<binding name="Hello_Binding" type="tns:Hello_PortType"> <soap:binding style="rpc" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/> <operation name="sayHello"> <soap:operation soapAction="sayHello"/> <input> <soap:body encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" namespace="urn:examples:helloservice" use="encoded"/> </input> <output> <soap:body encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" namespace="urn:examples:helloservice" use="encoded"/> </output> </operation> </binding>
