Defining the Web service
From the Services item of the Repository tree view, you are able to define the Web service of interest by creating a WSDL file or by importing an existing WSDL file. In this scenario, we will create a new WSDL file to define the airport Web service.
For more information on how to create a WSDL file from scratch, see Creating a Service and Editing a WSDL file.
Procedure
-
On the Repository tree view, right-click the
Services node and from the contextual menu,
select Create Service.
-
Select the Create new WSDL option.
-
Click Finish to validate this creation.
The service opens in the design workspace with a basic WSDL skeleton, which contains one service, one binding and one port type of one operation.
-
Right-click the port airportPort in the WSDL skeleton and select
Show properties. In its Properties
view, define its name in the Name field, for example,
airportSoap. In the Address field, specify the
address where you want the service to be published, for example,
http://localhost:8200/airport.service.
-
Click the binding in the WSDL skeleton. In its Properties
view, define the name of the binding, for example airportSoap.
-
Click the portType airportPortType in the WSDL skeleton. In its
Properties view, define the name of the portType, for
example airportSoap.
-
Click the operation airportOperation in the WSDL skeleton. In its
Properties view, set its name as
getAirportInformationByISOCountryCode.
-
Save the WSDL file. We will use it to build the Web service.
Then the newly defined Web service with exclamation icon displays under the Services node of the Repository view. The exclamation icon means that this defined Web service is not yet used.
