17.2.5.Importing A WSDL File & SOAP/WSDL Proxying

Virtuoso can import WSDL files from other locations using the function:

soap_wsdl_import()

This function reads the descriptions of SOAP messages available in the WSDL file and automatically creates Virtuoso stored procedure wrappers for executing the SOAP messages directly from Virtuoso in procedures. These generated procedures can then be exposed as SOAP messages in the normal way from the Virtuoso SOAP server, and of course fully described by an automatically generated WSDL file for them, thus creating a proxy service for original messages.
