Create the WSDL document using the editor

You create the WSDL document using the Eclipse WSDL editor. You also need to create a workspace to hold all the projects for this tutorial.

Remember: In the topics describing how to use the WSDL editor, the phrase "double-click" means one click to select the required box and another click to place the cursor in the text box for editing.
  1. Start Enterprise Developer.
  2. Change the perspective to JAVA EE by selecting Window > Open Perspective > Other. In the Open Perspective dialogue, select Java EE and press OK.
  3. Select File > New > Other > General > Project and click Next.
  4. Type wsdl into the Project name and click Finish.
  5. In the Project Explorer pane, right click on the project folder wsdl and select New > Other.
  6. Enter wsdl where it says type filter text. Select WSDL File and click Next.
  7. For the file name enter BookLegacy.wsdl and click Next.
  8. The Target namespace is a URL to make the types unique to the web service. Update this keeping the "BookLegacy" part, for example: http://project.company.com/BookLegacy.
  9. All the other defaults will be used, so click Finish.

This opens a new WSDL document in the WSDL Editor, giving a template with one operation to get started.
