Transforming WSDL documents into UML models

Use the WSDL-to-UML transformation to create a Unified Modeling Language (UML) model from Web Services Definition Language (WSDL) documents and the referenced XML Schema Definition (XSD) schemas.

About this task

For WSDL documents, the transformation transforms WSDL elements into interfaces and components in a UML package.

For XSD schema files, the transformation transforms XSD elements into classes in a UML package.

Modeling fault parameters in service operations
You can model fault parameters in service operations in UML models, and then run the UML-to-WSDL transformation to transform these parameters into Web Services Description Language (WSDL) fault messages.
Generating SoaML elements in service model
You can configure the WSDL-to-UML transformation to automatically generate service model elements by applying specific stereotypes from the SoaML profile.
Configuring WSDL-to-UML transformations
To specify the information that the transformation uses to generate the output that you expect, you use the New Transformation Configuration wizard and the transformation configuration editor, which guide you through the configuration.
Validating WSDL-to-UML transformation configurations
You can validate a transformation configuration to ensure that the values in the configuration are valid according to the requirements of a transformation.
Running and rerunning WSDL-to-UML transformations
Before you can run a transformation, you create a transformation configuration. When you apply a transformation configuration, an instance of the transformation is created and the transformation runs with the properties that the configuration defines.
