Define the WSDL

This section describes how to expose the SyncCustomer schema as a Web service. The Web service defined in this tutorial is a customer service which is represented by the SyncCustomer message.

2. Right-click the MyCompany folder and select New > Other.

3. In the Select a wizard dialog box, select Web Services > WSDL and click Next.

4. In the New WSDL File dialog box, ensure that the MyCompany folder is highlighted. In the File name field, type MyCompany-CustomerServices.wsdl and click Next.
