Chapter 6 Building an Executable BPM: Working with Service Description Objects
The Import WSDL feature allows you to recover Web service description in a BPEL4WS or Sybase Integration Orchestrator model.
A Web service is an interface that describes a collection of operations that are accessible on the network through SOAP messages. Web services are used by processes when you proceed to the implementation phase of the business process modeling.
WSDL stands for Web Services Description Language, it is an XML formatted document that describes what a Web service is capable of and how a client can locate and invoke that service.
The Import WSDL process converts Web services and their sub-objects into service providers and their corresponding sub-objects in the BPM.
You import a WSDL file when you want to initialize an executable BPM with existing Web services defined in WSDL. Only the abstract description of Web services is imported: messages operations, and port types.
