How to start formalizing a SOAP service task?

Question

API

I often write API specs.
But for the first time, in addition to the specification itself, I need to attach wsdl to it. Data, of course, will be exchanged via SOAP.
I have never solved such a problem and have only theoretical knowledge (wiki) about soap and wsdl.
Please tell me what to read and what tools will be useful for me to make the “correct” wsdl and check its performance. To generate sample input and output.

PS
I am well aware of what the data types defined by me are, what are composite data types, validation through wsdl, etc. But still I can't move from theory to practice. Can you tell me how to overcome this barrier?

Answer 1

I can advise Eclipse for Java EE developers. There is an editor wsdl files. Create a generic project and then create a wsdl file. There will be a GUI where you can specify everything you need, create the necessary data types, import xsd and so on.
Here is an example of what it looks like: lekkimworld.com/images/notes8/wst/eclipse33_wst_wsdl.jpg
And you need to start with the requirements :-)

Answer 2

As a tool, try Oxygen, it has a 30-day trial.
I made my first wsdl in it.
It also supports data generation.

$(".button").on("click", function () {
  $.get("http://www.json-generator.com/api/json/get/bZtGcVPsrS?indent=2", function(response) {
    var items = [];
    $.each(response, function(i, el) {
      $.each(el, function(key, val) {
        items.push(key + ' : ' + val);
      });
    });

    items.sort();
    console.log(items);
  });
});
