Advantages
- WSDL provides a structured approach to defining web service
interfaces.
- WSDL can be used by clients to reduce the amount of code
needed to access a service.
- Changes can be made to an existing WSDL description which
the clients can understand, at runtime. This allows for some
dynamic upgrades.
- For example, Microsoft's .NET platform will automatically
generate a WSDL description for any deployed assembly. To get it
just add
?WSDL to the URL of a running service
created with VS .NET and deployed on IIS.
- Axis has the java2wsdl tool.
