Hi ramakrishna,

WSDL provide the description for your Web Service.

It contains the message structure, data types and formats which is useful for sending and receiving data from Web Services.

WSDL is a standard defined by OASIS and based on that standard , every technology/tool can interpret it.

There are tools available in market with every technology like ABAP JAVA and .Net which can read this WSDL and generate automatically code for complex XML and SOAP conversion like proxies in ABAP. You have to write simple code to communicate to proxies . Proxies will then hides the complexity of complex Conversion of your native language from XML/SOAP and would send / Receive messages from and to web service.

Hope this helps.

Actually a WSDL document contains the following elements

Types – a container for data type definitions using some type system (such as XSD).

Message – an abstract, typed definition of the data being communicated.

Operation – an abstract description of an action supported by the service.

Port Type –an abstract set of operations supported by one or more endpoints.

Binding – a concrete protocol and data format specification for a particular port type.

Port – a single endpoint defined as a combination of a binding and a network address.

Service – a collection of related endpoints.

Just go thro' this link...and read throughly ..u will understand WSDL structure

Hi

The wsdl is web service description language.

The wsdl defines the complete functionality of the web service.

Means the input parametes to the web service and the output parameters of the web service.
