SOAP Integration
Overview
Taxi can enhance SOAP WSDLs with semantic meaning by embedding type references directly in the WSDL definitions. This enables:
- Semantic typing for SOAP services and messages
- Integration with SOAP-based systems
- Type-safe service discovery and invocation
Adding Taxi to WSDL
Namespace Declaration
First, declare the Taxi namespace in your WSDL:
<definitions xmlns:taxi="http://taxilang.org/" ...>
Namespace URL
Note the trailing slash in the namespace URL - `http://taxilang.org/` is required.
Type References
Add semantic types to WSDL elements using the taxi:type
attribute:
<xs:complexType name="tCurrency">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="sISOCode" type="xs:string"
taxi:type="com.orbitalhq.CurrencyIsoCode"/>
<xs:element name="sName" type="xs:string"
taxi:type="com.orbitalhq.CurrencyName"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
