∟First Example - Hello

This section provides a tutorial example on writing the very first WSDL 1.1 example that uses SOAP 1.1 over HTTP to send a hello message and receive a hello message back.

My first WSDL 11 example will be the Hello Web service with these properties:

In this WSDL example, I want to send a SOAP request with a hello message. And I expect the server to a hello message. So I wrote this WSDL document, Hello_WSDL_11_SOAP.wsdl:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<wsdl:definitions xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
  xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"
  xmlns:hy="https://www.herongyang.com/Service/"
  targetNamespace="https://www.herongyang.com/Service/">

      <xsd:element name="HelloRequest" type="xsd:string"/>
      <xsd:element name="HelloResponse" type="xsd:string"/>
    </xsd:schema>
  </wsdl:types>

  <wsdl:message name="helloInputMessage">
    <wsdl:part name="helloInputPart" element="hy:HelloRequest"/>
  </wsdl:message>
  <wsdl:message name="helloOutputMessage">
    <wsdl:part name="helloOutputPart" element="hy:HelloResponse"/>
  </wsdl:message>

  <wsdl:portType name="helloPortType">
    <wsdl:operation name="Hello">
      <wsdl:input name="helloInput"
        message="hy:helloInputMessage"/>
      <wsdl:output name="helloOutput"
        message="hy:helloOutputMessage"/>
    </wsdl:operation>
  </wsdl:portType>

  <wsdl:binding name="helloBinding" type="hy:helloPortType">
    <soap:binding transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>
    <wsdl:operation name="Hello">
      <soap:operation
        soapAction="https://www.herongyang.com/Service/Hello"/>
      <wsdl:input name="helloInput">
        <soap:body use="literal"/>
      </wsdl:input>
      <wsdl:output name="helloOutput">
        <soap:body use="literal"/>
      </wsdl:output>
    </wsdl:operation>
  </wsdl:binding>

  <wsdl:service name="helloService">
    <wsdl:port name="helloPort" binding="hy:helloBinding">
      <soap:address
location="https://www.herongyang.com/Service/Hello_SOAP_11.php"/>
    </wsdl:port>
  </wsdl:service>

</wsdl:definitions>
