Use the following topics to learn more about WSDL files.

WSDL validation
Message flow configuration with a WSDL file
WSDL URI formats for JMS
WSDL styles
rpc-encoded SOAP messages

WSDL validation
The WS-I Validator can be used to check your WSDL definitions against the Basic Profile.
Message flow configuration with a WSDL file
You can use a WSDL file to configure message flows.
Using WSDL with the SOAPAsyncRequest node
A SOAPAsyncRequest node must be associated with a WSDL file unless it is operating in gateway mode.
Querying WSDL with ?wsdl
You can interrogate web services using ?wsdl.
WSDL URI formats for JMS
You must use WSDL to configure SOAP nodes. When using WSDL with a JMS transport, different URI formats can exist in the address element in the WSDL, which affect how properties are parsed and applied to the configured nodes.
WSDL styles
The SOAP nodes are configured by using a specific WSDL binding that has a style of either document (the default) or rpc. All operations that are defined in a specific WSDL binding are usually defined with the same use, which can be either literal (the default) or encoded.
rpc-encoded SOAP messages
