Designing the WSDL using the WSDL editor

In this section, we create a WSDL with two operations: getAccount (using an account ID to retrieve an account) and getCustomer (using a customer ID to retrieve a customer).

The WSDL editor allows you to easily and graphically create, modify, view, and validate WSDL files. To create a WSDL, do these steps:

Create a Dynamic Web project to host the new Web service:

Web project: RAD75TopDownBankWS
EAR project: RAD75TopDownBankEAR

Create a WSDL file:

Right-click WebContent (in RAD75TopDownBankWS) and select New Æ Other Æ Web services Æ WSDL, and click Next.
Change the File name to BankWS.wsdl and click Next.
In the Options page, leave the default and click Finish (Figure | 8-32).

The WSDL editor opens with the new WSDL file. Select the Design tab.

In the WSDL editor, select Advanced from the View drop-down menu at the top right corner.
Select the Properties view. Now you are ready to edit the WSDL file (Figure | 8-33).
