Publishing WSDL files using the console

 

This article explains how to publish a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file using the WAS administrative console. Before completing this task, install or deploy the Web service. After deployment, configure the URL endpoint tasks for your transport:

 

Overview

By publishing a WSDL file, you are providing clients with a description of the Web service, including the URL identifying the location of the service.

The WSDL files in each Web services-enabled module are published to the file system location you specify. You can provide these WSDL files in the development and configuration process of the Web service clients so they can invoke your Web services.
