C.1 WSDL URIs

WSDL URIs

There are two main cases for WSDL URIs:

  • the URI of a WSDL document

  • the URI of a WSDL namespace

The URI of a WSDL document can be dereferenced to give a resource representation that contributes component definitions to a single WSDL namespace. If the media type is set to the WSDL media type, then the fragment identifiers can be used to identify the main components that are defined in the document.

However, this appendix specifies the use of the namespace URI with the WSDL fragment identifiers to form a URI-reference.

Ed. Note:  MJG 20030203 The URI of a WSDL namespace may not be dereferencable, or if it is dereferencable, then it may not resolve to a resource representation that has the WSDL media type. For example, a namespace URI may resolve to an HTML document that describes the namespace. Since the namespace URI does not necessarily reference a resource with the WSDL media type, the use of WSDL fragment identifiers with it is not strictly in compliance with the definition of URI-reference. Comment from the W3C Technical Architecture Group on this point is invited.
