Publishing WSDL files

A Web Service Definition Language (WSDL) file contains a detailed description of all the operations available with a Web services API. Separate WSDL files are available for the Business Flow Manager and Human Task Manager Web services APIs. You must first publish these WSDL files then copy them from the WebSphere® environment to your development environment, where they are used to generate a proxy client.

Before you begin

Before publishing the WSDL files, be sure to specify the correct Web services endpoint address. This is the URL that your client application uses to access the Web services APIs.

Why and when to perform this task

You only need to publish WSDL files once.

Note: If you have the WebSphere Process Server client CD, you can copy the files directly from there to your client programming environment instead.
