Adding a SOAP 1.2 Binding to a WSDL Document

Using wsdl2soap

To generate a SOAP 1.2 binding using wsdl2soap use the following command:

wsdl2soap {-i port-type-name} [-b binding-name] {-soap12} [-d output-directory] [-o output-file] [-n soap-body-namespace] [-style (document/rpc)] [-use (literal/encoded)] [-v] [[-verbose] | [-quiet]] wsdlurl

The tool has the following required arguments:

Option	Interpretation
`-i` `port-type-name`	Specifies the `portType` element for which a binding is generated.
`-soap12`	Specifies that the generated binding uses SOAP 1.2.
`wsdlurl`	The path and name of the WSDL file containing the `portType` element definition.

The tool has the following optional arguments:

Option	Interpretation
`-b` `binding-name`	Specifies the name of the generated SOAP binding.
`-soap12`	Specifies that the generated binding will use SOAP 1.2.
`-d` `output-directory`	Specifies the directory to place the generated WSDL file.
`-o` `output-file`	Specifies the name of the generated WSDL file.
`-n` `soap-body-namespace`	Specifies the SOAP body namespace when the style is RPC.
`-style` (`document`/`rpc`)	Specifies the encoding style (document or RPC) to use in the SOAP binding. The default is `document`.
`-use` (`literal`/`encoded`)	Specifies the binding use (encoded or literal) to use in the SOAP binding. The default is `literal`.
`-v`	Displays the version number for the tool.
`-verbose`	Displays comments during the code generation process.
`-quiet`	Suppresses comments during the code generation process.

The -i port-type-name and wsdlurl arguments are required. If the -style rpc argument is specified, the -n soap-body-namspace argument is also required. All other arguments are optional and can be listed in any order.

	Important
	wsdl2soap does not support the generation of `document/encoded` SOAP 1.2 bindings.

For more information see wsdl2soap in Tool Reference.

Example

If your system has an interface that takes orders and offers a single operation to process the orders it is defined in a WSDL fragment similar to the one shown in Example 3.1.

Example 3.1. Ordering System Interface

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<definitions name="widgetOrderForm.wsdl"
    targetNamespace="http://widgetVendor.com/widgetOrderForm"
    xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
    xmlns:soap12="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap12/"
    xmlns:tns="http://widgetVendor.com/widgetOrderForm"
    xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
    xmlns:xsd1="http://widgetVendor.com/types/widgetTypes"
    xmlns:SOAP-ENC="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">

<message name="widgetOrder">
  <part name="numOrdered" type="xsd:int"/>
</message>
<message name="widgetOrderBill">
  <part name="price" type="xsd:float"/>
</message>
<message name="badSize">
  <part name="numInventory" type="xsd:int"/>
</message>

<portType name="orderWidgets">
  <operation name="placeWidgetOrder">
    <input message="tns:widgetOrder" name="order"/>
    <output message="tns:widgetOrderBill" name="bill"/>
    <fault message="tns:badSize" name="sizeFault"/>
  </operation>
</portType>
...
</definitions>

The SOAP binding generated for orderWidgets is shown in Example 3.2.

Example 3.2. SOAP 1.2 Binding for orderWidgets

<binding name="orderWidgetsBinding" type="tns:orderWidgets">
  <soap12:binding style="document" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>
    <operation name="placeWidgetOrder">
      <soap12:operation soapAction="" style="document"/>
      <input name="order">
        <soap12:body use="literal"/>
      </input>
      <output name="bill">
        <wsoap12:body use="literal"/>
      </output>
      <fault name="sizeFault">
        <soap12:body use="literal"/>
      </fault>
  </operation>
</binding>

This binding specifies that messages are sent using the document/literal message style.
