Standard ECMA-348
Web Services Description Language (WSDL)
for CSTA Phase III
3rd edition (December 2006)
Web Services Description Language (WSDL) is an XML schema for
describing Web services and how they can be accessed by Web based
CSTA applications. Everything that an application needs to communicate
with a Web service is described in a WSDL document.
This Standard specifies a WSDL for the XML messages defined in
ECMA-323, XML Protocol for Computer
Supported Telecommunications Applications (CSTA) Phase III. All
CSTA features (e.g., services and events) specified in ECMA-269
and ECMA-323 are specified in this
Standard.
CSTA WSDL facilitates the creation and deployment of web based
CSTA applications. For example, by using CSTA WSDL with many industry
Web services development environments, a web services developer
can access CSTA features provided by a CSTA implementation without
knowing details of the network or underlying transport protocols.
The WSDL specified in this Standard is defined with XML and XML
Schema. One example transport illustrated in this Standard is
SOAP over HTTP.
This Standard builds upon the XML data types and message formats
specified in ECMA-323.
Although a WSDL document contains both abstract definitions (WSDL
messages and port type elements) and concrete protocol specific
definitions (WSDL bindings, ports, and service elements), this
CSTA WSDL Standard specifies only the abstract definitions of
a WSDL document. The concrete protocol specific definitions are
implementation specific and are outside the scope of this Standard.
This Standard specifies port types for a subset of the profiles
specified in ECMA-269.
In December 2005 Ecma approved ECMA TR/90, which proposes amendments and additions to ECMA-348 when the underlying WS-Addressing and WS-Eventing technology has stabilised.
