Information on WSDL (Web Services Description Language)

WSDL (Web Services Description Language) provides a means based on XML by which the capabilities of a web server can be described. WSDL describes web services in terms of a set of end points that accept requests and issue responses. A WSDL document specifies the server providing the services, the binding of the services provided to the services and the message formats used for requests and responses.
     WSDL is used in UDDI (WHAT IS THIS??), and in conjunction with SOAP, HTTP and MIME.
