Create WSDL 1.1 Model Structure

Using the WSDL page in the Diagram Toolbox, you can quickly and easily model WSDL documents.

WSDLs, represented as Components marked with the stereotype WSDL, are contained in a WSDLnamespace stereotyped Package whose hierarchy represents the target WSDL namespace and its constituent XSD Types, Messages, PortTypes, Bindings and Services.

A sample WSDL Package structure can be created in the Project Browser, using the Namespace icon from the WSDL page of the Diagram Toolbox. You can use this package structure as a template for developing your WSDL.

Example WSDL Package Structure:

The WSDLnamespace Package acts as a container for the WSDL Structure in Enterprise Architect. The various WSDL constructs like Messages, PortTypes, Bindings and Services should be modeled in the Messages, PortTypes, Bindings and Services Packages respectively.
