Subject: Updated WSDL generation - a.k.a. web service binding defaults


As per my assigned task for the binding TC, the following is my set of proposed changes to deal with WSDL generation for binding.ws.

I apologize for not having this ready in advance of today's call.  Looks like I was off by about six hours.

Relative to WD 02, changes to section 4 include:
  • Changed section 4 name
  • Changed the introduction to the section
  • Minor edits to section 4.1
  • Section 4.2 removed, with the exception of the suggested target namespace which has moved to Appendix B.
  • Section 4.3 --> 4.2, WSDL Bindings --> Default Binding.  Rewrote section.
  • Section 4.3.1 --> 4.2.1  => removed text about WSDL generation.
  • Section 4.4 --> 4.3 => clarified that interface.XXX must be converted to either a WSDL 1.1 portType or a WSDL 2.0 interface (is this redundant?)
  • Migrated salient details from Section 4.5 about WSDL generation to Appendix B, which merely suggests choices for various elements of a generated WSDL.

4 Transport Binding

The binding.ws element provides numerous ways to specify exactly how messages ought to be transmitted from or to the reference or service. Those ways include references to WSDL binding elements from the @wsdlElement attribute, policy intents, and even vendor extensions within the binding.ws element. However, all of those ways to indicate how messages get carried happen to be optional. This section describes the defaults that ought be used if the specific transport details are not otherwise specified.

4.1 Intents

So as to narrow the range of choices for how messages are carried, the following policy intents affect the transport binding.

  • soap
    This indicates that messages MUST be transmitted using SOAP. One or more SOAP versions can be used.

  • soap.1_1
    Messages MUST be transmitted using only SOAP 1.1.

  • soap.1_2
    Messages MUST be transmitted using only SOAP 1.2.

4.2 Default Binding

In the event that the transport details are not determined elsewhere, the following configuration SHOULD be used:

  • HTTP-based transport

  • Use SOAP 1.1

  • “literal” format as described in section 3.5 of [WSDL11]

  • For messages that have a single part, the message uses “document” style, as per section 3.5 of [WSDL11].

  • For messages that have multiple parts, the message uses “rpc” style, as per section 3.5 of [WSDL11]. In this case, the child elements of the SOAP Body element must be namespace qualified with a non-empty namespace name.

  • For SOAP 1.1 messages, the SOAPAction header described in section 6.1.1 represents the empty string, in quotes (“”).

  • For SOAP 1.2 messages, the optional SOAP Action feature described in section 6.5 of [SOAP12Adjuncts] does not appear.

  • All message parts are carried in the body of the message

4.2.1 SOAP versions

Where no specific version of SOAP has been dictated, an SCA runtime might support both version 1.1 and version 1.2.

4.3 WSDL portType or interface

An SCA service has a single interface description. For the Web Services binding, this interface description MUST be converted into one or both of a WSDL 1.1 portType or a WSDL 2.0 interface.

B. Appendix - WSDL Generation

Due to the number of factors that determine how a WSDL might be generated, including compatibility with existing WSDL uses, precise details cannot be specified. For example, policy implementation decisions can affect the way WSDL might be generated. For reference, and possible consistency, this section picks options for various details involved in generating WSDL.

  • wsdl:definitions/@targetNamespace = <HTTP Base URI> + “/” + <componentName> + “/” + <serviceName>

  • import each portType or interface, rather than putting them inline

  • wsdl:binding/@name = <name of binding> + <SOAP Version> + “Binding”

  • wsdl:service/@name = <name of the service>

  • wsdl:port/@name = <name of binding> + <SOAP Version> + “Port”
