WSDL is an XML format for describing network services as a set of endpoints operating on messages containing either document-oriented or procedure-oriented information. The operations and messages are described abstractly, and then bound to a concrete network protocol and message format to define an endpoint.

Where is the endpoint in a WSDL?

The actual endpoint URL that is contained in a published WSDL file consists of the prefix followed by the module’s context-root and the web service url-pattern, for example, http:// myHost :9045/services/ myService .

What is a SOAP service endpoint?
