Generating HTML documentation from your WSDL file
HTML documentation contains information about the WSDL file schema. It is similar to Javadoc for Java files - any Documentation information about the WSDL components you provide will be listed in the HTML documentation.
To generate HTML documentation based on a WSDL file:
- Open your WSDL file in the WSDL editor.
- From the WSDL Editor menu, select Create WSDL Documentation.
- Specify the parent folder where you documentation should be created.
- Specify the name of the folder you want create. This folder will contain the generated HTML documentation.
- Click Finish.
The HTML documentation is created and the main page of (index.html) automatically opens in a Web browser.
The HTML documentation contains the following information:
- The WSDL file name
- A list of the messages, port types, bindings, and services in the WSDL file
- Any documentation supplied in the WSDL file
- Information about each component in the WSDL file, such as the type of the component and its source code. Additional information about the component may be supplied depending on the component.
Note: WSDL documentation creation will not take place if the WSDL file in invalid. To validate the WSDL file, from the WSDLEditor menu, select Validate WSDL document. Errors will be listed in the Problems view.
