ActiveBPEL® Designer User’s Guide
A Web Reference is a Web Services Description Language (WSDL) file or schema that you have added to ActiveBPEL. WSDL files are displayed by name in the Web References view. When you add a WSDL file to the view, it is available for all ActiveBPEL processes.
By adding WSDL files and schemas to the Web References view, you have a convenient registry of namespaces, messages, type definitions, sample data, and other elements to use across BPEL processes. To make your work quick and easy, product wizards help you jump-start process design by automatically including the WSDL elements needed. Also, Web References has an extensive search capability.
In addition, in the Web References view, you can add sample data files for message variables and make the data available for testing and debugging your process.
To display WSDL files, click the Web References tab. The following illustration shows the default view of Web References in ActiveBPEL.
WSDL files are XML-based files that contain the namespace declarations, type declarations, messages, and other element definitions that you can use to create business processes. WSDL files conform to the Web Services Description Language standard authored by a World Wide Web Consortium committee.
ActiveBPEL supports Web Services Description Language (WSDL) 1.1, a W3C Note dated 15 March 2001. For more information about this standard, see http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl.
