How to convert WSDL file to class file

Question

I have a WSDL file. I want to convert wsdl file to web service class file.

Is it possible? If yes please explain it to me in detail.

Answer 1

If you are using .NET and you want to create a client class you can use WSDL.exe.

There are numerous examples on how to create a Java client proxy if you google correctly.

Answer 2

A WSDL is more of an interface; it's not going to have any implementation details. If you use WSDL.exe or pull the web service in a project and look at all files, you should get the method signatures.
