MDA: Generation of Abstract WSDL files

[modeltransformator]

Hi everyone,

I use the EA for modeling and generation of WSDL documents as instructed here: http://www.sparxsystems.com/uml_tool_guide/xml_technologies/model_wsdl.htm

However, it seems it is only possible to generate complete WSDL files (thus including binding and service parts).

For our project, we would need only abstract WSDL documents (thus only the types, messages, and ports)

Do you have any idea wheather it is possible to generate abstract WSDL documents?

Every suggestion is very much appreciated,
Gregor

Gregor,

To generate WSDL and its associated schema with Sparx EA, you MUST model WSDL and schema.  

I'm guessing you've tried "modeling" (really is designing when you apply the WSDL stereotypes) only the parts you need and generating WSDL from that....

I mostly wrote to say, I feel your pain.  One feature I would love to see added to Sparx EA is the ability to generate WSDL directly from a service model.  Like you, I don't necessarily need implementation-ready WSDL/XSD.  I need enough to provide a framework to the design team.
