Question

WSDL limitation

Hi all,

I was researching about publishing processes as web services in Appian and the use of WSDL, and I would like to know if there are any limitations in the definition of XSD types. In a schema defined in the WSDL, can one schema reference another schema within the same WSDL? Are there limitations with the data types?

Thanks!

Publishing model via SOAP is considered legacy, but still somewhat supported via the admin console. I recommend to not go that way.

Did you consider to implement a normal Web API that accepts XML instead of JSON?

Hi Stefan,

Yes, I know what you mean. My doubt is merely based on expanding knowledge in case I have to work with WSDL.

I wrote the post in case someone could resolve my doubt. When the time comes, I would implement a web API that invokes the process, as you well suggest.

Thank you!

Not sure about WSDL. In my experience everybody avoids using it. I consider this not be a hot topic in the future.

But, as WSDL is not specific to Appian, I suggest to check other resources.
