Creating Resources Using the WSDL Import Utility

WSDL (Web Services Description Language) is an XML format for describing web services as a set of endpoints operating on messages containing either document-oriented or procedure-oriented information.

Note:
  • Only document style WSDLs with literal encoding are currently supported.
  • Only In-Only and In-Out Message Exchange Patterns (MEPs) are currently supported.

TIBCO BusinessEvents can parse an imported WSDL file and create the required project artifacts based on its contents: the channels and destinations (concrete WSDLS only), events, rules, and rule functions.

Both abstract and concrete WSDL files can be used. When you import an abstract WSDL, channel and transport information is not available and you must create those resources manually. Concrete WSDLS contain information that is used to create these resources automatically.

You then implement the newly created rules and rule functions to provide the expected behavior for the web service described in the WSDL file.
