Procedure documentationImporting WSDL Files to Create Service Interfaces Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

You can reuse existing services defined externally by importing them into the ES Repository to create service interface objects. The ES Builder provides a wizard for this functionality. The wizard enables you to import WSDL files into the ES Repository and create service interface objects using the portType definitions. It also creates external definitions containing messages which will be used by the imported service interface.

More information: Creating Service Interfaces from WSDL Files

You will use this wizard:

  • To create a client to a third party service in the ES Repository.

    For a WSDL description of a web service available in the internet, you can create a corresponding outbound interface in the ES Repository.

  • To import third party service into the ES Repository for mediated communication.

    For a WSDL description of a web service available in the internet, you can create a corresponding inbound interface in the ES Repository. You can link this service via the SOAP adapter to the Integration Server and map an outbound interface to it.

  • For inside-out development.

    You can reuse existing services defined externally by creating a design time description for it in the ES Repository.

You use this wizard to select the WSDL files to be imported from the local file system. During the import you can select the software component version and namespace under which you want to import the service interfaces. You can select if want to create an inbound or outbound service interface. The wizard shows a Preview with proposals for names of the service interfaces and external definitions to be created, and analyzes references to other files (only for files in WSDL and XSD format). The generated service interfaces and external definitions should be activated from the change list. You can use the wizard to create all service interfaces at once in a namespace of the ES Repository.

Prerequisites

Save the WSDL files that you want to import on your local file system. The wizard cannot access files directly from a URL or an archive. Unpack all files to a directory before using the wizard.

Note Note

The files to be imported must conform to the WSDL 1.1 standard.
