1. 1 WSDL Authoring Mike Engelhardt

2. 2 WSDL Creation Steps Get a copy of someone else’s work Change namespace names Change schema element names Add/remove/rearrange a few elements Change attribute names in wsdl and soap tags YOU’RE DONE!!!!!

3. 3 Gotchas Use global replace carefully Be creative in renaming elements, but not too creative

4. 4 WSDL Creation: what I REALLY did Find tools to help Find a working example and use it as a reference Review the spec Draft the wsdl, validate, and test conformance with tool

5. 5 WDSL Authoring Issues Got fairly close to a valid WSDL on first try Corrected namespaces Provided missing attribute values

6. 6 SOAP Messages Generated SOAP messages from Oxygen XML tool left a bit to be desired MortgageScheduleService GetMortgageSchedulePort GetMortgageSchedule http://www.cccis.com/engelhardt/mortgageSchedule http://www.cccis.com/engelhardt/GetMortgageSchedule STRING INTEGER STRING ]]>

7. 7 SOAP Messages Again, worked from an example Took body structure generated by Oxygen tool Verified document was well-formed using XMLSpy
