This document is a companion to the WSDL 2.0 specification (Web Services Description Language (WSDL) Version 2.0 Part 1: Core Language [WSDL 2.0 Core], Web Services Description Language (WSDL) Version 2.0 Part 2: Adjuncts [WSDL 2.0 Adjuncts]). It is intended for readers who wish to have an easier, less technical introduction to the main features of the language.

This primer is only intended to be a starting point toward use of WSDL 2.0, and hence does not describe every feature of the language. Users are expected to consult the WSDL 2.0 specification if they wish to make use of more sophisticated features or techniques.

Finally, this primer is non-normative. Any specific questions of what WSDL 2.0 requires or forbids should be referred to the WSDL 2.0 specification.

  • Operation styles

  • Binding extensions for SOAP and HTTP

Notes

- history

This specification defines additional message exchange patterns (MEPs) to be used in WSDL 2.0 and are provided as examples of the extensibility of WSDL 2.0.

Web Services Description Language (WSDL) provides a model and an XML format for describing Web services. This document describes a representation of that model in the Resource Description Language (RDF) and in the Web Ontology Language (OWL), and a mapping procedure for transforming particular WSDL descriptions into their RDF form.

1 translation for Discussion of Alternative Schema Languages and Type System Support in WSDL 2.0
polski

This document captures the result of discussions by the Web Services Description Working Group regarding WSDL 2.0 type system extensibilty at the time of its publication. The Working Group normatively defines the use of XML Schema 1.0 as a type system in the WSDL 2.0 Core specification. This document sketches out the basics of extensions for Document Type Definitions (DTDs) and Relax NG.

This document addresses the need to indicate the content-type associated with binary element content in an XML document and the need to specify, in XML Schema, the expected content-type(s) associated with binary element content. It is expected that the additional information about the content-type will be used for optimizing the handling of binary data that is part of a Web services message.
