How can two wsdl files be combined into one?

Question

I've got wsdl files for a single service that I'd like to convert to a single wsdl file.

From what I've read, I believe this is possible by giving each one a separate namespace, however I'm not sure what process one would use to do this.

I'm aware there are programs that would help me do this, but I'd like a better understanding of the wsdl files so I can do this manually.

Can someone please give me a quick overview of the considerations necessary for combining two wsdl files?

Thank you!

Answer 1

Check out this article on importing and including. Also, you could use a tool and look at what it does so you can learn how. :)

Answer 2

My suggestion would be to first learn WSDL before trying to learn how to manipulate it. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_Services_Description_Language and http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl.
