The purpose of the WSDL transformation is to create from a simple model an expanded model of a WSDL interface that is suitable for generation.
Take the following example interface.
This generates the corresponding WSDL component, service, port type, binding and messages as follows.
| · | Classes are handled in the same way as the XSD Transformation |
| · | All in parameters are transformed into messageParts in the Request message |
| · | The return value and all out and return parameters are transformed into messageParts in the Request message |
| · | All methods where a value is returned are transformed into Request-Response operations while all methods not returning a value are transformed into OneWay operations |
| · | The transformation does not currently handle generation of Solicit-Response and Notification methods or faults. |
The resulting package can then have the specifics filled out using the WSDL editing capabilities of Enterprise Architect, and finally generated using the WSDL generation.
