Service, but no WSDL

I have to get data from a web service, but they do not publish a WSDL file. My SSIS component won't work without the WSDL.

Is it possible for me to create a WSDL file for someone else's Web Service?

+1  A: 

From the possibility perspective, of course it theoretically is. On the other hand, it is very tricky to create, and extremely prone to errors. First of all, do you have a representative set of messages for the service?
