Generating a WSDL for a Web Service You Are Creating

If you do not have a WSDL file for a web service (for example, because it has not yet been produced), you can use the Generate WSDL button in the Web Service General Properties tab to generate a WSDL file that you can use to define the contract that the Web Service provides.

The Properties tab for a web service task has buttons for:

  • Selecting an existing WSDL service
  • Importing a WSDL if the WSDL has not already been imported
  • Generating a WSDL. If the WSDL does not exist yet, it can be created here
