"definitions" - The Root Element
This section describes 'definitions', the root element of a WSDL document. The target namespace and other namespaces should be provided at the root element level.
"definitions" is the root element of a WSDL 1.1 document. The syntax of "definitions" looks like this:
<wsdl:definitions name="nmtoken" targetNamespace="tns_uri" xmlns:tns="tns_uri" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:xxxx="other_uri" ...> ... </wsdl:definitions>
Notes on the "definitions" element:
Here is an example of "definitions" element:
<wsdl:definitions name="helloWSDL" targetNamespace="https://www.herongyang.com/Service/" xmlns:hy="https://www.herongyang.com/Service/" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" ... </wsdl:definitions>
In this example, xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" provides "soap" as the namespace prefix for element names from the WSDL 1.1 SOAP extension language.
