2. PART III INTRODUCTION TO WSDL(WEB SERVICE DESCRIPTION LANGUAGE)
WITH THE HELP OF PROJECT
WSDL : The Web Services Description Language is an XML-based interface description
language that is used for describing the functionality offered by a web service.
A WSDL description of a web service (also referred to as a WSDL file) provides a
machine-readable description of how the service can be called, what parameters it
expects, and what data structures it returns.
KEY ELEMENTS USED INSIDE WSDL :
1. Types
2. Message
3. Port Type
4. Binding
5. service
6. Partner Link Type
For better understanding consider a basic Project " ProcessNumbers" & focus on
following points -:
• ABSTRACT WSDL
• COMPOSITE XML
• BPEL PROCESS COMPONENT
• BPEL PROCESS
• COMPILATION & DEPLOY
• CONCRETE WSDL
• TEST
• INSTANCES
1. BASIC PROJECT ON "PROCESSNUMBERS"
Step 1: Create new project
New --->All Technologies--->SOA Tier --->SOA project --->OK ---> Project Name
(ProcessNumbersProject) ---> ADF Business Component---> SOA--->Next -->
Empty Composite ---> Finish
Now you can see your project on left pane with all its contents so as we need to start
our project with XSD .
Step 2 : Create a new xsd file under project
Right click on xsd--> file name(ProcessNumbers.xsd) --> Target
Namespace(http://www.bispsolutions.com/training/soa/schema/ProcessNumbers)-->
prefix (psobj) -->ok
Now created successfully ProcessNumbers.xsd as shown in figure :
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 2
3. • target Namespace
• Prefix taken psobj
• Take two elements 1) ProcessNumbersRequest 2) ProcessNumbersResponse
• Define their complex types shown in blue boxes .
• save xsd.
HINT : Here in example consider two numbers i.e NumberA & NumberB & then we
have to perform ADD operation .
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 3
4. Step 2:
Click on Design Mode & u can see xsd in a well designed manner as shown in figure:
Step 3 : To create WSDL file:
Click NEW--->All Technologies --->Web Services --->WSDL Document ---> OK
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 4
6. Step 4 : Fill all required blanks
WSDL Name(ProcessNumbers) --->Directory name(leave as it is but delete up to your
project name i.e Process numbers ) ----> Targetnamespace(give target name space but
use wsdl in place of schema) ---> Create port type (ProcessNumbersInterface)
---> Select Service Style(Document) ----> OK .
Service Style is mainly of two types :
1) Document 2)RPC
• Document: the content of <soap:Body> is specified by XML Schema defined in
the <wsdl:type> section. It does not need to follow specific SOAP conventions.
In short, the SOAP message is sent as one "document" in the <soap:Body>
element without additional formatting rules having to be considered. Document
style is the default choice.
• RPC: The structure of an RPC style <soap:Body> element needs to comply with
the rules specified in detail in Section 7 of the SOAP 1.1 specification. According
to these rules, <soap:Body> may contain only one element that is named after
the operation, and all parameters must be represented as sub-elements of this
wrapper element.
Step 5: Shown below is Abstract WSDL File , in wsdl file <definitions></definitions> is
the root element of wsdl schema .
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 6
7. • Target Namespace
• tns is prefix of targetnamespace
Elements Used In WSDL are :
• TYPES:
The types element encloses data type definitions that are relevant for the exchanged
messages. For maximum interoperability and platform neutrality, WSDL prefers the use
of XSD as the canonical type system, and treats it as the intrinsic type system.
• MESSAGE:
Inside Message we write whatever information is requested by service consumer &
What response needed from service provider . These messages are transported
through transporting medium example HTTP with SOAP protocol.
Message element consists of PART name & element & part is a partition of message &
there should be n number of parts inside a message.
Messages should be one or more than one.
• PORT TYPE : It is a web service interface port type defines interface ,
operation , operation , input & output .
Step 6:
Import ProcessNumbers.xsd inside <xsd:schema> as shown & keep this schema inside
wsdl type.
Step 7:
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 7
8. write message name & its part name & part element .
note : Part element is prefixed So never forget to register its name space as shown
below:
Step 8: Mention its port type as shown below
• Write name of Port type i.e "ProcessNumbersInterface"
• we are Adding two numbers hence we choose ADD as its operation.
• Write its input & output with prefix tns.
Finally Save WSDL file by clicking save button
Step 9: Click on Design Mode & see that relationship between Messages & port type.
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 8
9. Step 10: To create BPEL Process Click on composite .xml
Step 11: This composite .xml is partitioned into three sections
1. Exposed Services
2. Components
3. External refrences
Now right click on component section and choose BPEL Process.
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 9
10. Step 12:
Fill all its blank spaces
& browse wsdl file by clicking its icon
Note : Here choose Template " Base on a WSDL " means we already have
a wsdl file .
In our Next Projects we will create wsdl file directly from template by choosing different
options these are:
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 10
12. Step 13: Now observe Exposed Service as ProcessNumbersService and BPEL
component
ProcessNumbersProcess
Step 14 : Cick on source mode at bottom & see the composite xml as shown below
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 12
13. Step 15: Again go to design mode of composite .xml & doubleclick on here
Step 16: This window is ProcessNumbersProcess.bpel window & here we will create
our logics & conditions by using Component Palette
So here we have again three sections so first section is a process number service
section
or we can say service section , middle section is BPEL process section which works as
mediator & third section is for reference section & cover it on latter examples.
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 13
14. Step 17: Drag assign activity from component palette & put between receive input &
reply output.
Right click on Assign activity & select edit --> General--> Name(Assign Result)
Click on Copy Rules & Explore output variable & then result integer
drag this expression icon into Result element & a new window prompt as shown
below:
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 14
15. select Number A ---> click Insert Into Expression ----> Plus Sign (+) --->select Number
B
---> Click Insert Into Expression . Now Click OK.
Click OK
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 15
16. Step 18: Compile by clicking compile icon & see below that build succesfull , if there
is an error make correction then again compile & diagnosis build
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 16
18. Step 19 A : Deploy project by clicking Process Numbers Project .
Step 19B : click Deploy to Application server ---> Next
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 18
19. Step 19 C: mark these fields & click to Next
Step 20 : Start Server First as shown below :
Click on Start /Stop Weblogic servers
Mark Admin Server With SOA & EM then click START wait for few minutes
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 19
20. Server is now running
Step21: Select your application server click Next
Step 22: Looking up for soa server ..
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 20
22. Step 25: Start your enterprise manager by writing url http: //localhost:7001/em/
Note : Here localhost is application server & 7001 is a port in which enterprise
manager is running.
Step 26 : Login using credentials
User Name :weblogic
Password : welcome1
click on login
Step 27: We have successfully login inside Enterprise manager 11g (Farm_dev_soa)
we can clearly observe here that admin server is up & all deployment status is also up
it means that our admin server is running .
Now In left pane of window under Farm_dev_soa click on SOA radio button now again
expand & under default we can easily see all the deployed projects.
Click twice on Process Numbers Project .
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 22
23. Step 28: Observe that all information regarding to Process Numbers Project is given
Running instances 0 means that yet we have not tested any instance.
Total 0
Project Status Active
Now click on Browser tab
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 23
24. Step 29 : Click on WSDL URL
Step 30: Now it is a Concrete WSDL , Right click on page & select View Page Source
Now we can see full Concrete WSDL & this wsdl contains Binding & service
information additionally.
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 24
25. Binding simply means that packaging message in packet with SOAP protocol again a
question arises that what is soap protocol ?
SOAP Protocol : SOAP, originally defined as Simple Object Access Protocol, is
a protocol specification for exchanging structured information in the implementation
of Web Services in computer networks. It relies on XML Information Set for its message
format, and usually relies on other Application Layer protocols, most notably Hypertext
Transfer Protocol(HTTP) or Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP), for message
negotiation and transmission.
Copy location address & paste in browser URL & now get the ABSTRACT WSDL &
observe it .
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 25
26. NOTE: This abstract wsdl is similar to prior abstract wsdl which we had created in
jdeveloper environment. Now Copy the schema location of imported xsd & observe it .
Step 31: Click on TEST & create first instance or first test.
Step 32: Scroll down page & observe
Operation : ADD
Request: Receive Inputs
Response: Reply output
This is a tree view we can also see it as XML view .
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 26
27. Now Insert Number A =5
& Number B = 10
Click on Test Web Service
& get Result =15 as shown below
Step 33: Click on Launch Flow Trace
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 27
28. Click on ProcessNumbersProcess & see the instance of process number process. Here
we can Audit Trail , Flow. Sensor values, Faults.
Step 34 : Click on Flow
View flow diagram of process numbers process
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 28
29. Step 35: Click on Receive input & observe BPEL instance in xml
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 29
30. Step 36: Similarly click on Assign result in flow diagram & observe BPEL instance in
xml
Step 37: Similarly click on Reply Output
Step 38: Click on Faults & check it.
www.bisptrainigs.com www.hyperionguru.com Page 30
31. Step 39: Now again double click on ProcessNumbersProcess project on left pane &
observe that now after first test it created Instance with its instance id & instance
state.
Now since we have completed our test & wanted to exit from enterprise manager ,
Click on ShutDown Tab & then LogOut.
Step 40 : Stop Admin server if don't want to further deploy any project
Click Start/stop weblogic servers ----> mark on Admin Server radio ---> Stop
