Importing from WSDL

This describes how to create a new message definition from WSDL using the New Message Definition File wizard in the workbench.

Before you start:

You must have completed the following tasks:

Before you begin this task you should note the following points:

Important: Note that the extension to the file must be .wsdl in lower case.

The following steps cover creating a completely new message definition file and also overwriting the contents of an existing file.

To create a message definition from a WSDL file or files:

  1. Switch to the Broker Application Development perspective.
  2. Open the New Message Definition File wizard by clicking File> New> Message Definition File on the workbench menu. Alternatively, you can open the wizard by right-clicking a .wsdl file previously imported into the workbench and clicking New> Message Definition File on the menu.
  3. In the displayed list of options, click WSDL file to select it then click Next.
  4. Step through the remainder of the wizard filling in the details as required.
    Start of changeYou have the options to:
    • Create a backup of the original WSDL definitions if the source file is from an external directory, or workspace location. The default for this checkbox is unchecked.
    • Add the SOAP and XMLNSC domains to your message set so that you can use the SOAP nodes. The default for this checkbox is checked.
    End of change
    Note:
    • A number of the panels and options could be subject to settings you make within the wizard and it is possible that they will not always appear.
    • Some fields in the wizard could be greyed out. This is likely to be due to the field having a mandatory setting, the field having only one possible value, or is not used due to other settings that have already been made.

When you have completed the WSDL import using the wizard:

Note: Any required SOAP Envelope and SOAP encoding message definitions are automatically added to your message set during the import. If required, you can also import these manually via the New Message Definition File wizard by selecting the new option IBM supplied message.
