Question

Create an endpoint from a wsdl

Hello


We have the need in the project to create a service (not a process model) with a wsdl passed to us by the customer. So that we then pass the end-point and invoke us.
Is it possible from Appian to generate an end-point from a wsdl?


Thank you

    No. But nothing holds you back from creating a Web API which consumes some XML. You can even take the data structures from the WSDL and create the CDTs from it.

    Hello
    For project needs we are forced to expose a wsdl with that xml.
    So as you tell me, in Appian it is impossible to do this.
    Thanks

    Now I am confused.

    I understood, that you have some WSDL file. Now you want to create an API in Appian which consumes the data specified in that WSDL and returns some XML. Is that correct?

    While there is no direct support, you can still create that manually.

    What does "forced to expose a wsdl with that xml" mean?
