WSDLs

A WSDL (Web Service Definition Language) is the formal description of a Web Service; in ALSB, it describes a proxy service or a business service. A WSDL is used to describe what a Web Service can do, where it resides, and how to invoke it.

You can base SOAP and XML services on an existing WSDL resource. A WSDL document is available for proxy and business services for any transport. See Create/Edit a Proxy Service - General Configuration page and Creating and Configuring Business Services.
