1. Web-Service VS Web-Site A web-service is an application which is available on the internet and is used for information gathering, i.e. weather predictions, tax information. Web-service has defined functions (APIs) which are used/accessed to extract information. It has no Graphical User Interface. In contrast, a web-site is an application which has a Graphical User Interface. It allows user to navigate through it graphically. WSDL WSDL ( Web Service Description Language ) describes functionality of a web-service following some protocol i.e. SOAP version 1.1 2.1 WSDL Document Structure
SOURCE: WWW.TEQLOG.COM/WSDL-EXAMPLE-EXPLAINED-STEP-BY-STEP.HTML WSDL Elements Definition This contains the attribute name, which in turn has the web service name. ◦ Types This element uses the XML schema language to declare complex data types and elements that are used elsewhere in the WSDL document. ◦ Message This element describes the message’s payload using XML schema built-in types, complex types. ◦ PortType / Interface and Operation These elements describe a Web service’s interface and define its methods.
Binding This element assigns a portType and its operation elements to a particular protocol (for instance, SOAP 1.1) and encoding style. Service This element is responsible for assigning an Internet address to a specific binding.
SOURCE: WWW.TEQLOG.COM/WSDL-EXAMPLE-EXPLAINED-STEP-BY-STEP.HTML 2.2 XML A WSDL document is written in XML (Extensible Markup Language). XML is used to describe complex datatypes. XML documents are passed by the server to client applications for fulfilling their data-requests. What is a Protocol? A protocol, in the domain of internet, defines how computers on the internet share information. Types of protocols include HTTP (Hyper text Transfer Protocol) SOAP (Simple Object Access Protocol) Restful (Representational State transfer Protocol )
Each Protocol serves specific purpose i.e.
HTTP is defined for formatted document transfer SOAP and restful are designed for data-sharing 2. SOAP SOAP stands for Simple Object Access Protocol. This protocol is usually used for Web-services.
