To generate a SOAP 1.1 binding using wsdl2soap use the following command:
wsdl2soap
{-i port-type-name
} [-b binding-name
] [-d output-directory
] [-o output-file
] [-n soap-body-namespace
] [-style (document/rpc)] [-use (literal/encoded)] [-v] [[-verbose] | [-quiet]] wsdlurl
The command has the following options:
Option | Interpretation |
---|---|
-i
port-type-name |
Specifies the |
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. |
-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 may be listed in any order.

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 2.1.
Example 2.1. 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:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" 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 2.2.
Example 2.2. SOAP 1.1 Binding for orderWidgets
<binding name="orderWidgetsBinding" type="tns:orderWidgets"> <soap:binding style="document" transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/> <operation name="placeWidgetOrder"> <soap:operation soapAction="" style="document"/> <input name="order"> <soap:body use="literal"/> </input> <output name="bill"> <soap:body use="literal"/> </output> <fault name="sizeFault"> <soap:body use="literal"/> </fault> </operation> </binding>
This binding specifies that messages are sent using the document/literal
message style.
