Hello,

https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/xi/3.0/how%20to%20...

When u import WSDL, there is no need to create Data Type and Message Type

For tutorials on editing WSDL http://www.w3schools.com/wsdl/default.asp

A note on wsdl and xsd imports

Why web services?

1 Support of end-to-end monitoring.

2 Strong integration with sap products.

3 Pre built content for various business scenarios. (For e.g. content for Sap SRM)

4 Business process management (bundling or splitting messages as per requirement)

SOAP Message format

DOCUMENTS

For info on how to use Web services and SOAP adapters, these 2 documents should help

Theory

In the case of SOAP, the Application System should give you a WSDL and

you will use the WSDL to fill in the request message and get the response from your Application System.

Also, they need to expose their interface as a webservice for you to be able to do this. )

in XI we extensively use WSDL to integrate any web application by making use of SOAP adapter.
