Topic: 8. SOAP based Web Services

wsdlPublisher

The wsdlPublisher serves WSDL files (and attached XML Schema Documents), if your backend service does not already do so.

Can be used in:

serviceProxy, api, for, choose, stompProxy, if, registration, wsStompReassembler, internal, interceptor, bean, transport and soapProxy

Syntax

<wsdlPublisher wsdl="location"? />

Sample

The following example shows how to publish a WSDL for a SOAP service.

<serviceProxy port="8080">
  <path isRegExp="true">/material/.*</path>
  <wsdlPublisher wsdl="/WEB-INF/wsdl/ArticleService.wsdl" />
  <validator wsdl="/WEB-INF/wsdl/ArticleService.wsdl" />
  <target host="www.predic8.com" port="8080" />
</serviceProxy>In this setup, we expect the WSDL to be in /WEB-INF/wsdl/ArticleService.wsdl and attached XML Schema documents to be referenced by relative file names from the WSDL. A query to /material/ArticleService?wsdl will be answered using the WSDL. References to XML Schema documents will be rewritten to /material/ArticleService?xsd=n, which will be answered using the corresponding documents.

Attributes

Name	Required	Default	Description	Example
wsdl	false	-	The WSDL (URL or file).	/WEB-INF/wsdl/ArticleService.wsdl

As a child of soapProxy, if the wsdl attribute is not present, the soapProxy-parent's wsdl attribute is used.
