What are the extact Web Service protocols and compliance levels supported by App

What are the extact Web Service protocols and compliance levels supported by Appian. Are WSDLs expected to be 100% WSI compliant. Are restful services supported per the standard (i.e. why is a WSDL expected when restful services do not requirement them)? Is the level of compliance checking when connecting to a WSDL configurable?...

Appian has different Smart Services and Rule Functions for consuming REST vs SOAP web services.

Appian 7.7 introduced native REST rule functions and smart service. If you are using a version prior to 7.7, there is a http plugin component on Forum / Records / Shared Components you may deploy to consume REST.

Not all SOAP WSDL formats may be consumed by Appian..

Here are a list of known limitations

No WSDL provided
Multi-part WSDL
WSDLs missing SOAP header declaration
WSDLs missing data type definitions or other required elements
WSDLs missing policy definitions that define WS-Security requirements
Data types that use the extension tag

For tips on working around these known limitations, see:
