Validating and Inspecting WSDL Documents
This section provides a tutorial example on loading a WSDL 2.0 document in SoapUI and getting an error message.
One important function of SoapUI is to validate and inspect WSDL documents. Here is what I did to validate and inspect my first WSDL 2.0 document, Hello_WSDL_20_SOAP.wsdl.
1. Run SoapUI and click "File" > "New SOAP Project"
2. On the dialog box, enter these values:
Project Name: Hello-WSDL-20 Initial WSDL: C:\herong\Hello_WSDL_20_SOAP.wsdl Create Requests: unchecked Create TestSuite: unchecked Relative Paths: unchecked
3. Click OK. SoapUI displays an error message:
WSDLException (at /wsdl:description): faultCode=INVALID_WSDL: Expected element '{http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/}definitions'
As you can see, SoapUI fails to parse the WSDL 2.0 "description" element. It is expecting the WSDL 1.1 "definitions" element.
Conclusion: SoapUI does not support WSDL 2.0.
See other tutorials in this book on how to use SoapUI to test WSDL 1.1 documents.
