Generate WSDL from XML Schema (XSD)

Posted July 29, 2006 * Comments(10)

Stefan Tilkov points to an XSL transform that generates a WSDL from XML schema. You define your XML schema and this script creates the corresponding WSDL for you. Good stuff, contract first design and such.

    Not that this is exactly the same thing, but using the Oxygen XML editor, given a well defined XSD you can also create javadoc like documentation for that WSDL and methods cotained within. It’s pretty cool to be able to build clients from this easy to read documentation generated by the schema interface itself.

    I used the transform but having trouble with Ports and PortType as it is not generating correct messages.

    Hi, the tool works perfectly sorry.

    You need only to define a XXXX_Request and a XXXX_Response methods in the input XSD file(s).
    can be whatever you need for your services methods. Unles you perform this, the tool will not generate any valid WSDL content.
