Understanding WSDL Files

WSDL files provide the ability to pass data that can be understood by content server services. This enables access to the content and content management functions within Content Server. After the component is installed, the provided WSDL files are stored in the <install_dir>/weblayout/groups/secure/wsdl/custom/ directory.

These WSDL files are provided with the WSDL Generator component:

Additional WSDL files can be generated using the Soap Custom WSDL administrative pages. See WSDL Administration Tutorial for additional information.

Note: IIS 6.0 does not serve files with an extension that is not registered in the MIME types list. Add the .wsdl extension with a MIME type of text/xml in order for it to be served by IIS 6.0.
