About the binding definition

The binding element defines how the operations and messages in the schema communicate. Actuate defines its binding using the following attributes:

name="ActuateSoapBinding"

type="wsdlns:ActuateSoapPort"

style="document"

transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"

The following example shows the binding definition for ActuateSoapBinding:

<soap:binding style="document"

transport="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http"/>

Within the <binding> </binding> tags, input and output child elements define the bindings for each operation that the portType section describes. Each input message consists of a SOAP header with attributes and a SOAP body with attributes. Each output message consists of a SOAP body with attributes.

The following example shows the input and output child elements for the Login operation:

<soap:operation soapAction="" />

<input>

<soap:body use="literal" parts="Request"/>

</input>

<soap:body use="literal"/>

</output>

</operation>

These elements specify that Actuate does not use soapAction, a required element for SOAP messages. They further show that Actuate operations are literal messages that do not use separate wrappers for each element.
