Abstract
WSDL is an XML format for describing network services as a set of endpoints
operating on messages containing either document-oriented or procedure-oriented
information. Web Services Description Language (WSDL) Version 2.0 Part 2:
Adjuncts defines predefined extensions for use in WSDL 2.0:
• Message exchange patterns
• Operation styles
• Binding Extensions
This specification depends on WSDL Version 2.0 [WSDL 2.0 Core Language].
Status of this Document
This section describes the status of this document at the time of its
publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of current W3C
publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be found in
the W3C technical reports index at http://www.w3.org/TR/.
This is the W3C Candidate Recommendation of Web Services Description Language
(WSDL) Version 2.0 Part 2: Adjuncts for review by W3C Members and other
interested parties. It has been produced by the Web Services Description
Working Group, which is part of the W3C Web Services Activity. The publication
of this document signifies a call for implementations of this specification.
This specification will remain a Candidate Recommendation at least until 15
March 2006.
This Working Draft addresses all the comments received during the second Last
Call review period on the WSDL 2.0 drafts. The detailed disposition of the
comments received can be found in the Last Call issues list. A diff-marked
version against the previous version of this document is available. For a
detailed list of changes since the last publication of this document, please
refer to appendix C. Part 2 Change Log.
The Working Group plans to submit this specification for consideration as a W3C
Proposed Recommendation if the following exit criteria have been met:
• Two interoperable implementations of all the features, both mandatory and
optional, of the specifications have been produced.
• The Working Group releases a test suite along with an implementation report
.
The following features defined in this specification are considered at risk:
• Serialization of the instance data in parts of the HTTP request IRI
(section 6.8.1 Serialization of the instance data in parts of the HTTP
request IRI): feedback is sought on this topic
• Definition of the Robust In-Only, In-Optional-Out, Out-Only, Robust
Out-Only, Out-In, Out-Optional-In message exchange pattern (in section 2.3
Message Exchange Patterns): the Working Group is intending to remove those
definitions from the specification if it does not have evidence of their
use
Implementers are encouraged to provide feedback by 15 March 2006. Comments on
this document are to be sent to the public public-ws-desc-comments@w3.org
mailing list (public archive).
Issues about this document are recorded in the Candidate Recommendation issues
list maintained by the Working Group. A list of formal objections against the
set of WSDL 2.0 Working Drafts is also available.
Publication as a Candidate Recommendation does not imply endorsement by the W3C
Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted
by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as
other than work in progress.
This document has been produced under the 24 January 2002 Current Patent
Practice as amended by the W3C Patent Policy Transition Procedure. Patent
disclosures relevant to this specification may be found on the Working Group's
patent disclosure page. An individual who has actual knowledge of a patent
which the individual believes contains Essential Claim(s) with respect to this

1. Introduction
The Web Services Description Language WSDL Version 2.0 (WSDL) [WSDL 2.0 Core
Language] defines an XML language for describing network services as
collections of communication endpoints capable of exchanging messages. WSDL
service definitions provide documentation for distributed systems and serve as
a recipe for automating the details involved in applications communication.
This document defines extensions for the WSDL 2.0 language:
• Message exchange patterns: 2. Predefined Message Exchange Patterns
• Operation safety declaration: 3. Predefined Extensions
• Operation styles: 4. Predefined Operation Styles
• Binding extensions:
□ A SOAP 1.2 [SOAP 1.2 Part 1: Messaging Framework] binding extension: 5.
WSDL SOAP Binding Extension
□ An HTTP/1.1 [IETF RFC 2616] binding extension: 6. WSDL HTTP Binding
Extension
WSDL 2.0 Primer [WSDL 2.0 Primer] is a non-normative document intended to
provide an easily understandable tutorial on the features of the WSDL Version
2.0 specifications.
The Core Language [WSDL 2.0 Core Language] of the WSDL 2.0 specification
describes the core elements of the WSDL language.

Namespace names of the general form "http://example.org/..." and "http://
example.com/..." represent application or context-dependent URIs [IETF RFC 3986
].
All parts of this specification are normative, with the EXCEPTION of
pseudo-schemas, examples, and sections explicitly marked as "Non-Normative".
Pseudo-schemas are provided for each component, before the description of this
component. They provide visual help for the XML [XML 1.0] serialization. The
syntax of BNF pseudo-schemas is the same as the one used in [WSDL 2.0 Core
Language].
2. Predefined Message Exchange Patterns
Web Services Description Language (WSDL) message exchange patterns (hereafter
simply 'patterns') define the sequence and cardinality of abstract messages
listed in an operation. Message exchange patterns also define which other nodes
send messages to, and receive messages from, the service implementing the
operation.
A node is an agent (section 2.3.2.2 Agent of the Web Services Architecture [Web
Services Architecture]) that can transmit and/or receive message(s) described
in WSDL description(s) and process them.
Note:
A node may be accessible via more than one physical address or transport.
WSDL message exchange patterns describe the interaction at the abstract
(interface) level, which may be distinct from the pattern used by the
underlying protocol binding (e.g. SOAP Message Exchange Patterns; section
5.10.3 SOAP 1.2 Binding Rules contains the binding rules for the selection of a
SOAP 1.2 message exchange pattern based on the WSDL message exchange pattern in
use for the SOAP binding extension defined in this specification in section 5.
WSDL SOAP Binding Extension).
By design, WSDL message exchange patterns abstract out specific message types.
Patterns identify placeholders for messages, and placeholders are associated
with specific message types by the operation using the pattern.
Unless explicitly stated otherwise, WSDL message exchange patterns also
abstract out binding-specific information like timing between messages, whether
the pattern is synchronous or asynchronous, and whether the message are sent
over a single or multiple channels.
Like interfaces and operations, WSDL message exchange patterns do not
exhaustively describe the set of messages exchanged between a service and other
nodes; by some prior agreement, another node and/or the service may send other
messages (to each other or to other nodes) that are not described by the
pattern. For instance, even though a pattern may define a single message sent
from a service to one other node, the Web Service may multicast that message to
other nodes.
To maximize reuse, WSDL message exchange patterns identify a minimal contract
between other parties and Web Services, and contain only information that is
relevant to both the Web Service and another party.
This specification defines several message exchange patterns for use with WSDL
Version 2.0 Part 1: Core Language [WSDL 2.0 Core Language].
2.1 Template for Message Exchange Patterns
New Message Exchange Patterns may be defined by any organization able and
willing to do so. It is recommended that the patterns use the general template
provided here, after examination of existing predefined patterns.
2.1.1 Pattern Name
This pattern consists of [number] message[s, in order] as follows:
[enumeration, specifying, for each message] A[n optional] message:
1. indicated by a Interface Message Reference component whose {message label}
is "[label]" and {direction} is "[direction]"
2. [received from|sent to] ['some' if first mention] node [node identifier]
This pattern uses the rule [fault ruleset reference].
An operation using this message exchange pattern has a {message exchange
pattern} property with the value "[pattern IRI]".
Note: In the template, the bracketed items indicate a replacement operation.
Substitute the correct terms for each bracketed item.
Note: the "received from" and "sent to" are always from the point of view of
the service, and participating nodes other than the service are implicitly
identified as the originators of or destinations for messages in the exchange.
2.2 Fault Propagation Rules
WSDL patterns specify their fault propagation model using standard rulesets to
indicate where faults may occur. The most common patterns for fault propagation
are defined here, and referenced by patterns later in the document.
"Propagation" is defined as a best-effort attempt to transmit the fault message
to its designated recipient.
WSDL patterns specify propagation of faults, not their generation. Nodes which
generate a fault MUST attempt to propagate the faults in accordance with the
governing ruleset, but it is understood that any delivery of a network message
is best effort, not guaranteed. The rulesets establish the direction of the
fault message and the fault recipient, they do not provide reliability or other
delivery guarantees. When a fault is generated, the generating node MUST
attempt to propagate the fault, and MUST do so in the direction and to the
recipient specified by the ruleset. However, extensions or binding extensions
MAY modify these rulesets. For example, WS-Addressing [WSA 1.0 Core] defines a
"FaultTo" address for messages, which is used in lieu of the recipient
nominated by the ruleset.
Generation of a fault, regardless of ruleset, terminates the exchange.
Binding extensions, features, or extension specifications may override the
semantics of a fault propagation ruleset, but this practice is strongly
discouraged.
2.2.1 Fault Replaces Message
Any message after the first in the pattern MAY be replaced with a fault
message, which MUST have identical direction. The fault message MUST be
delivered to the same target node as the message it replaces, unless otherwise
specified by an extension or binding extension. If there is no path to this
node, the fault MUST be discarded.
This fault propagation rule is identified by the following URI: http://
www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/fault-replaces-message
2.2.2 Message Triggers Fault
Any message, including the first in the pattern, MAY trigger a fault message,
which MUST have opposite direction. The fault message MUST be delivered to the
originator of the triggering message, unless otherwise specified by an
extension of binding extension. Any node MAY propagate a fault message, and
MUST not do so more than once for each triggering message. If there is no path
to the originator, the fault MUST be discarded.
This fault propagation rule is identified by the following URI: http://
www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/message-triggers-fault
2.2.3 No Faults
Faults MUST NOT be propagated.
This fault propagation rule is identified by the following URI: http://
www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/no-faults
2.3 Message Exchange Patterns
WSDL patterns are described in terms of the WSDL component model, specifically
the Interface Message Reference and Interface Fault Reference components.
2.3.1 In-Only
This pattern consists of exactly one message as follows:
1. A message:
□ indicated by a Interface Message Reference component whose {message
label} is "In" and {direction} is "in"
□ received from some node N
This pattern uses the rule 2.2.3 No Faults.
An operation using this message exchange pattern has a {message exchange
pattern} property with the value "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/in-only".
2.3.2 Robust In-Only
This pattern consists of exactly one message as follows:
1. A message:

pattern} property with the value "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/
robust-in-only".
2.3.3 In-Out
This pattern consists of exactly two messages, in order, as follows:

label} is "In" and {direction} is "in"
□ received from some node N
2. A message:
□ indicated by a Interface Message Reference component whose {message
label} is "Out" and {direction} is "out"
□ sent to node N
This pattern uses the rule 2.2.1 Fault Replaces Message.
An operation using this message exchange pattern has a {message exchange
pattern} property with the value "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/in-out".
2.3.4 In-Optional-Out
This pattern consists of one or two messages, in order, as follows:
1. A message:
□ indicated by a Interface Message Reference component whose {message
label} is "In" and {direction} is "in"
□ received from some node N
2. An optional message:
□ indicated by a Interface Message Reference component whose {message
label} is "Out" and {direction} is "out"
□ sent to node N
This pattern uses the rule 2.2.2 Message Triggers Fault.
An operation using this message exchange pattern has a {message exchange
pattern} property with the value "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/in-opt-out".
2.3.5 Out-Only
This pattern consists of exactly one message as follows:
1. A message:
□ indicated by a Interface Message Reference component whose {message
label} is "Out " and {direction} is "out"
□ sent to some node N
This pattern uses the rule 2.2.3 No Faults.
An operation using this message exchange pattern has a {message exchange
pattern} property with the value "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/out-only".
2.3.6 Robust Out-Only
This pattern consists of exactly one message as follows:
1. message:
□ indicated by a Interface Message Reference component whose {message
label} is "Out" and {direction} is "out"
□ sent to some node N
This pattern uses the rule 2.2.2 Message Triggers Fault.
An operation using this message exchange pattern has a {message exchange
pattern} property with the value "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/
robust-out-only".
2.3.7 Out-In
This pattern consists of exactly two messages, in order, as follows:
1. A message:
□ indicated by a Interface Message Reference component whose {message
label} is "Out" and {direction} is "out"
□ sent to some node N
2. A message:
□ indicated by a Interface Message Reference component whose {message
label} is "In" and {direction} is "in"
□ sent from node N
This pattern uses the rule 2.2.1 Fault Replaces Message.
An operation using this message exchange pattern has a {message exchange
pattern} property with the value "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/out-in".
2.3.8 Out-Optional-In
This pattern consists of one or two messages, in order, as follows:
1. A message:
□ indicated by a Interface Message Reference component whose {message
label} is "Out" and {direction} is "out"
□ sent to some node N
2. An optional message:
□ indicated by a Interface Message Reference component whose {message
label} is "In" and {direction} is "in"
□ sent from node N
This pattern uses the rule 2.2.2 Message Triggers Fault.
An operation using this message exchange pattern has a {message exchange
pattern} property with the value "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/out-opt-in".
2.4 Security Considerations
Note that many of the message exchange patterns defined above describe
responses to an initial message (either a normal response message or a fault.)
Such responses may be used in attempts to disrupt, attack, or map a network,
host, or services. When such responses are directed to an address other than
that originating the initial message, the source of an attack may be obscured,
or blame laid on a third party, or may enable or exacerbate denial-of-service
attacks.
Security mechanisms addressing such attacks may prevent the delivery of
response messages to the receiving node. Conformance to the message exchange
pattern is measured prior to the application of these security mechanisms.
3. Predefined Extensions
3.1 Operation safety
This section defines an extension to WSDL 2.0 [WSDL 2.0 Core Language] which
allows to mark an operation as a safe interaction, as defined in section 3.4.
Safe Interactions of [Web Architecture].
This extension MAY be used for setting defaults in bindings, such as in an HTTP
binding per this specification (see 6.5.5 Mapping from XML Representation to
Component Properties).
3.1.1 Relationship to WSDL Component Model
The safety extension adds the following property to the Interface Operation
component model (as defined in [WSDL 2.0 Core Language]):
• {safety} REQUIRED. An xs:boolean indicating whether the operation is
asserted to be safe for users of the described service to invoke. If this
property is "false", then no assertion has been made about the safety of
the operation, thus the operation MAY or MAY NOT be safe. However, an
operation SHOULD be marked safe if it meets the criteria for a safe
interaction defined in Section 3.5 of [Web Architecture].
3.1.2 XML Representation
The XML representation for the safety extension is an attribute information
item with the following Infoset properties:
• An OPTIONAL safe attribute information item with the following Infoset
properties:
□ A [local name] of safe
□ A [namespace name] of "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl-extensions"
□ A type of xs:boolean
3.1.3 Mapping from XML Representation to Component Properties

├────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│{safety}│The actual value of the safe attribute information item, if present,│
│ │otherwise the value "false". │
└────────┴────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
4. Predefined Operation Styles
This section defines operation styles that can be used to place constraints on
Interface Operation components, in particular with respect to the format of the
messages they refer to. The serialization formats defined in section 6.8
Serialization Format of Instance Data require bound Interface Operation
components to have one or more of the styles defined in this section.
4.1 RPC Style
The RPC style is selected by assigning to an Interface Operation component's {
style} property the value "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/style/rpc".
In order to conform with the specification for the RPC style, an Interface
Operation component MUST obey the constraints listed below. Furthermore, if the
wrpc:signature extension is used, the corresponding attribute information item
MUST be valid according to the schema for the extension and additionally MUST
obey the constraints listed in 4.1.1 wrpc:signature Extension and 4.1.2 XML
Representation of the wrpc:signature Extension.
The RPC style MUST NOT be used for Interface Operation components whose {
message exchange pattern} property has a value other than "http://www.w3.org/
2006/01/wsdl/in-only" or "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/in-out".
The RPC style places restrictions for Remote Procedure Call-types of
interactions. When this value is used, the associated messages MUST conform to
the rules below, described using XML Schema [XML Schema Structures]. Note that
operations containing messages described by other type systems may also
indicate use of the RPC style, as long as they are constructed in such a way as
to follow these rules.
If the Interface Operation component uses a {message exchange pattern} for
which there is no output element, i.e. "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/
in-only", then the conditions stated below that refer to output elements MUST
be considered to be implicitly satisfied.
• The value of the {message content model} property for the Interface Message
Reference components of the {interface message references} property MUST be
"#element".
• The content model of input and output {element declaration} elements MUST
be defined using a complex type that contains a sequence from XML Schema.
• The input sequence MUST only contain elements and element wildcards. It
MUST NOT contain other structures such as xs:choice. The input sequence
MUST NOT contain more than one element wildcard. The element wildcard, if
present, MUST appear after any elements.
• The output sequence MUST only contain elements. It MUST NOT contain other
structures such as xs:choice.
• The sequence MUST contain only local element children. Note that these
child elements MAY contain the following attributes: nillable, minOccurs
and maxOccurs.
• The local name of input element's QName MUST be the same as the Interface
Operation component's name.
• Input and output elements MUST both be in the same namespace.
• The complex type that defines the body of an input or an output element
MUST NOT contain any local attributes. Extension attributes are allowed for
purposes of managing the message infrastructure (e.g. adding identifiers to
facilitate digitally signing the contents of the message). They must not be
considered as part of the application data that is conveyed by the message.
Therefore, they are never included in an RPC signature (see 4.1.1
wrpc:signature Extension).
• If elements with the same qualified name appear as children of both the
input and output elements, then they MUST both be declared using the same
named type.
• The input or output sequence MUST NOT contain multiple children elements
declared with the same name.
4.1.1 wrpc:signature Extension
The wrpc:signature extension attribute information item MAY be used in
conjunction with the RPC style to describe the exact signature of the function
represented by an operation that uses the RPC style.
When present, the wrpc:signature extension contributes the following property
to the Interface Operation component it is applied to:
• {rpc signature} REQUIRED. A list of pairs (q, t) whose first component is
of type xs:QName and whose second component is of type xs:token. Values for
the second component MUST be chosen among the following four: "#in", "#
out", "#inout" "#return".
The value of the {rpc signature} property MUST satisfy the following
conditions:
• The value of the first component of each pair (q, t) MUST be unique within
the list.
• For each child element of the input and output messages of the operation, a
pair (q, t) whose first component q is equal to the qualified name of that
element MUST be present in the list, with the caveat that elements that
appear with cardinality greater than one MUST be treated as a single
element.
• For each pair (q, #in), there MUST be a child element of the input element
with a name of q and there MUST NOT be a child element of the output
element with the same name.
• For each pair (q, #out), there MUST be a child element of the output
element with a name of q and there MUST NOT be a child element of the input
element with the same name.
• For each pair (q, #inout), there MUST be a child element of the input
element with a name of q and there MUST be a child element of the output
element with the same name. Furthermore, those two elements MUST have the
same type.
• For each pair (q, #return), there MUST be a child element of the output
element with a name of q and there MUST NOT be a child element of the input
element with the same name.
The function signature defined by a wrpc:signature extension is determined as
follows:
1. Start with the value of the {rpc signature} property, a (possibly empty)
list of pairs of this form:
[(q0, t0), (q1, t1), ...]
2. Filter the elements of this list into two lists, the first one (L1)
comprising pairs whose t component is one of {#in, #out, #inout}, the
second (L2) pairs whose t component is #return. During the composition of
L1 and L2, the relative order of members in the original list MUST be
preserved.
For ease of visualization, let's denote the two lists as
(L1) [(a0, u0), (a1, u1),...]
and
(L2) [(r0, #return), (r1, #return),...]
respectively.
3. Then, if the input sequence ends with an element wildcard, the formal
signature of the function is
f([d0] a0, [d1] a1, ..., rest) => (r0, r1, ...)
where rest is a formal parameter representing the elements in the input
message matched by the element wildcard.
Otherwise the formal signature of the function is
f([d0] a0, [d1] a1, ...) => (r0, r1, ...)
i.e.
□ the list of formal arguments to the function is [a0, a1, ...];
□ the direction d of each formal argument a is one of [in], [out],
[inout], determined according to the value of its corresponding u
token;
□ the list of formal return parameters of the function is [r0, r1, ...];
□ each formal argument and formal return parameter is typed according to
the type of the child element identified by it (unique per the
conditions given above).
Note:
The wrpc:signature extension allows the specification of multiple return values
for an operation. Several popular programming languages support multiple return
values for a function. Moreover, for languages which do not, the burden on
implementors should be small, as typically multiple return values will be
mapped to a single return value of a structure type (or its closest
language-specific equivalent).
4.1.2 XML Representation of the wrpc:signature Extension
The XML representation for the RPC signature extension is an attribute
information item with the following Infoset properties:
• A [local name] of signature
• A [namespace name] of "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/rpc"
The type of the name attribute information item is a list type whose item type
is the union of the xs:QName type and the subtype of the xs:token type
restricted to the following four values: "#in", "#out", "#inout", "#return".
See Example 4-1 for an excerpt from the normative schema definition of this
type.
Additionally, each even-numbered item (0, 2, 4, ...) in the list MUST be of
type xs:QName and each odd-numbered item (1, 3, 5, ...) in the list MUST be of
the subtype of xs:token described in the previous paragraph.
Example 4-1. Definition of the wrpc:signature extension
4.1.3 wrpc:signature Extension Mapping To Properties of an Interface Operation
component
A wrpc:signature extension attribute information item is mapped to the
following property of the Interface Operation component defined by its [owner].

│signature}│present in the actual value of the wrpc:signature attribute │
│ │information item in the order in which they appear there. │
└──────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
4.2 IRI Style
The IRI style is selected by assigning the Interface Operation component's {
style} property the value "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/style/iri".
When using this style, the value of the {message content model} property of the
Interface Message Reference component corresponding to the initial message of
the message exchange pattern MUST be "#element".
Use of this value indicates that XML Schema [XML Schema Structures] was used to
define the schema of the {element declaration} property of the Interface
Message Reference component of the Interface Operation component corresponding
to the initial message of the message exchange pattern. This schema MUST adhere
to the rules below:
• The content model of this element is defined using a complex type that
contains a sequence from XML Schema.
• The sequence MUST only contain elements. It MUST NOT contain other
structures such as xs:choice.
• The sequence MUST contain only local element children. These child elements
MAY contain the nillable attribute, and the attributes minOccurs and
maxOccurs MUST have a value 0 or 1.
• The localPart of the element's QName MUST be the same as the Interface
Operation component's {name}.
• The complex type that defines the body of the element or its children
elements MUST NOT contain any attributes.
• The sequence MUST NOT contain multiple children elements declared with the
same local name.
• If the children elements of the sequence are defined using an XML Schema
type, they MUST derive from xs:simpleType, and MUST NOT be of the type or
derive from xs:QName, xs:NOTATION, xs:hexBinary or xs:base64Binary.
4.3 Multipart style
The Multipart style is selected by assigning the Interface Operation
component's {style} property the value "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/style/
multipart".
When using this style, the value of the {message content model} property of the
Interface Message Reference component corresponding to the initial message of
the message exchange pattern MUST be "#element".
Use of this value indicates that XML Schema [XML Schema Structures] was used to
define the schema of the {element declaration} property of the Interface
Message Reference component of the Interface Operation component corresponding
to the initial message of the message exchange pattern. This schema MUST adhere
to the rules below:
• The content model of this element is defined using a complex type that
contains a sequence from XML Schema.
• The sequence MUST only contain elements. It MUST NOT contain other
structures such as xs:choice.
• The sequence MUST contain only local element children. These child elements
MAY contain the nillable attribute, and the attributes minOccurs and
maxOccurs MUST have a value 1.
• The localPart of the element's QName MUST be the same as the Interface
Operation component's {name}.
• The complex type that defines the body of the element or its children
elements MUST NOT contain any attributes.
• The sequence MUST NOT contain multiple children element declared with the
same local name.
5. WSDL SOAP Binding Extension
The SOAP binding extension described in this section is SOAP version
independent ("1.2" as well as other versions) and an extension for [WSDL 2.0
Core Language] to enable Web Services applications to use SOAP. This binding
extension extends WSDL 2.0 by adding properties to the Binding component as
defined in [WSDL 2.0 Core Language]. In addition, an XML Infoset representation
for these additional properties is provided, along with a mapping from that
representation to the various component properties.
As allowed in [WSDL 2.0 Core Language], a Binding component MAY exist without
indicating a specific Interface component that it applies to. In this case,
there MUST NOT be any Binding Operation or Binding Fault components present in
the Binding component.
The SOAP binding extension is designed with the objective of minimizing what
needs to be explicitly declared for common cases. This is achieved by defining
a set of default rules which apply for all Interface Operation components of an
Interface component, unless specifically overridden on a per Interface
Operation basis. Thus, if a given Interface Operation component is not referred
to specifically, then all the default rules apply for that component. That is,
per the requirements of [WSDL 2.0 Core Language], all operations of an
Interface component are bound according to this binding extension.
A subset of the HTTP properties specified in the HTTP binding extension defined
in section 6. WSDL HTTP Binding Extension may be expressed in a SOAP binding
when the SOAP binding uses HTTP as the underlying protocol, for example, when
the value of the {soap underlying protocol} property of the Binding component
is "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/bindings/HTTP/". The properties that are
allowed are the ones that describe the underlying protocol:
• {http version} on Binding components, as defined in 6.4 Specifying the HTTP
Version
• {http location} on Binding Operation components, as defined in 6.5 Binding
Operations
• {http headers} on Binding Message Reference and Binding Fault components,
as defined in 6.6 Declaring HTTP Headers
• {http transfer coding default} on Binding and Binding Operation components,
{http transfer coding} on Binding Message Reference and Binding Fault
components, as defined in 6.9 Specifying the Transfer Coding
• {http cookies} on Binding components, as defined in 6.10 Specifying the Use
of HTTP Cookies
• {http authentication scheme} and {http authentication realm} on Endpoint
components, as defined in 6.11 Specifying HTTP Access Authentication

Note:
The double question marks ("??") after the attributes in the whttp namespace
indicates that those optional attributes only make sense when the SOAP binding
uses HTTP as the underlying protocol, for example, when the value of the
wsoap:protocol attribute is "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/bindings/HTTP/".
5.2 Identifying the use of the SOAP Binding
A Binding component (defined in [WSDL 2.0 Core Language]) is identified as a
SOAP binding by assigning the value "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/soap" to
the {type} property of the Binding component.
5.3 SOAP Binding Rules
• Payload Construction. When formulating the SOAP envelope to be transmitted,
the contents of the payload (i.e., the contents of the SOAP Body element
information item of the SOAP envelope) MUST be what is defined by the
corresponding Interface Message Reference component. This is subject to
optimization by a feature that is in use which may affect serialization,
such as MTOM [SOAP Message Transmission Optimization Mechanism]. The
following binding rules MUST be adhered to:
□ If the value of the {message content model} property of the Interface
Message Reference component is "#any" then the payload MAY be any one
XML element.
□ If the value is "#none" then the payload MUST be empty.
□ If the value is "#element" then the payload will be the element
information item identified by the {element declaration} property of
the Interface Message Reference component.
□ If the Interface Message Reference component is declared using a
non-XML type system (as considered in the Types section of [WSDL 2.0
Core Language]) then additional binding rules MUST be defined to
indicate how to map those components into the SOAP envelope.
Note:
This SOAP binding extension only allows one single element in SOAP body.
• SOAP Header Construction. If the {soap headers} property as defined in
section 5.9 Declaring SOAP Header Blocks exists and is not empty in a
Binding Message Reference or Binding Fault component, element information
item conforming to the element declaration of a SOAP Header Block
component's {element declaration} property, in the {soap headers} property,
MAY be turned into a SOAP header block for the corresponding message.
If the value of the SOAP Header Block component's {required} property is
"true", the inclusion of this SOAP header block is REQUIRED, otherwise it
is OPTIONAL.
And, if the SOAP Header Block component's {mustUnderstand} property is
present and its value is "true", that particular SOAP header block should
be marked with a mustUnderstand attribute information item with a value of
"true" or "1" as per the SOAP specification.
SOAP header blocks other than the ones declared in the {soap headers}
property may be present at run-time, such as the SOAP header blocks
resulting from SOAP modules declared as explained in section 5.8 Declaring
SOAP Modules.
5.4 Specifying the SOAP Version
5.4.1 Description
Every SOAP binding MUST indicate what version of SOAP is in use for the
operations of the interface that this binding applies to.
By default, SOAP 1.2 [SOAP 1.2 Part 1: Messaging Framework] is used.
5.4.2 Relationship to WSDL Component Model
The SOAP protocol specification adds the following property to the WSDL
component model (as defined in [WSDL 2.0 Core Language]):
• {soap version} REQUIRED. A xs:string, to the Binding component.
5.4.3 XML Representation
...
The XML representation for specifying the SOAP version is an optional attribute
information item with the following Infoset properties:

5.6 Binding Faults
5.6.1 Description
For every Interface Fault component contained in an Interface component, a
mapping to a SOAP Fault must be described. This binding extension specification
allows the user to indicate the SOAP fault code and subcodes that are
transmitted for a given Interface Fault component.
5.6.2 Relationship to WSDL Component Model
The SOAP Fault binding extension adds the following properties to the WSDL
component model (as defined in [WSDL 2.0 Core Language]):
• {soap fault code} REQUIRED. A union of xs:QName and xs:token where the
allowed token value is "#any", to the Binding Fault component. The value of
this property identifies a possible SOAP fault for the operations in scope.
If the value of this property is "#any", no assertion is made about the
value of the SOAP fault code.
• {soap fault subcodes} REQUIRED. A union of list of xs:QName, and xs:token
where the allowed token value is "#any", to the Binding Fault component.
The value of this property identifies one or more subcodes for this SOAP
fault. If the value of this property is "#any", no assertion is made about
the value of the SOAP fault subcode.
5.6.3 XML Representation

5.7 Binding Operations
5.7.1 Description
For every Interface Operation component contained in an Interface component, in
addition to the binding rules (for SOAP 1.2, see 5.10.3 SOAP 1.2 Binding Rules
), there may be additional binding information to be specified. This binding
extension specification allows the user to indicate the SOAP Message Exchange
Pattern (MEP) and a value for the SOAP Action Feature on a per-operation basis.
5.7.2 Relationship to WSDL Component Model
The SOAP Operation binding extension specification adds the following property
to the WSDL component model (as defined in [WSDL 2.0 Core Language]):
• {soap mep default} OPTIONAL. A xs:anyURI, which is an absolute IRI as
defined by [IETF RFC 3987], to the Binding component. The value of this
property identifies the default SOAP Message Exchange Pattern (MEP) for all
the Interface Operation components of any Interface component that uses
this Binding component.
• {soap mep} OPTIONAL. A xs:anyURI, which is an absolute IRI as defined by [
IETF RFC 3987], to the Binding Operation component. The value of this
property identifies the SOAP Message Exchange Pattern (MEP) for this
specific operation.
• {soap action} OPTIONAL. A xs:anyURI, which is an absolute IRI as defined by
[IETF RFC 3987], to the Binding Operation component. The value of this
property identifies the value of the SOAP Action Feature for the initial
message of the message exchange pattern of the Interface Operation bound,
as specified in the binding rules of bindings to specific versions of SOAP
(see 5.10.3 SOAP 1.2 Binding Rules for the SOAP 1.2 binding when the value
of the {soap version} property of the Binding component is "1.2").
5.7.3 XML Representation
The XML representation for binding an Operation are two attribute information
items with the following Infoset properties:
• wsoap:mep OPTIONAL attribute information item
□ A [local name] of mep
□ A [namespace name] of "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/soap"
□ A type of xs:anyURI
• wsoap:action OPTIONAL attribute information item
□ A [local name] of action
□ A [namespace name] of "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/soap"
□ A type of xs:anyURI
The following attribute information item for the binding element information
item is defined:
• A [local name] of mepDefault
• A [namespace name] of "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/soap"
• A type of xs:anyURI

5.8 Declaring SOAP Modules
5.8.1 Description
The SOAP messaging framework allows to engage one or more additional features
(typically implemented as one or more SOAP header blocks), as defined by SOAP
Modules (see [SOAP 1.2 Part 1: Messaging Framework]). This binding extension
specification allows users to indicate which SOAP Modules are in use across an
entire binding, on a per operation basis or on a per message basis.
5.8.2 Relationship to WSDL Component Model
The SOAP Module component adds the following property to the WSDL component
model (as defined in [WSDL 2.0 Core Language]):
• {soap modules} OPTIONAL. A set of SOAP Module components as defined in
5.8.3 SOAP Module component to the Binding component
• Similarly, {soap modules} OPTIONAL, to the Binding Operation component
• Similarly, {soap modules} OPTIONAL, to the Binding Message Reference
component
• Similarly, {soap modules} OPTIONAL, to the Binding Fault component
• Similarly, {soap modules} OPTIONAL, to the Binding Fault Reference
component
The SOAP modules applicable for a particular operation of any service consists
of all modules specified in the input or output Binding Message Reference
components, the infault or outfault Binding Fault Reference components, those
specified within the Binding Fault components, those specified within the
Binding Operation components and those specified within the Binding component.
If any module is declared in multiple components, then the requiredness of that
module is defined by the closest declaration, where closeness is defined by
whether it is specified directly at the Binding Message Reference component or
Binding Fault Reference component level, the Binding Fault level or the Binding
Operation component level or the Binding component level, respectively.
5.8.3 SOAP Module component
The SOAP Module component identifies a SOAP module that is in use.
The properties of the SOAP Module component are as follows:
• {ref} REQUIRED. A xs:anyURI, which is an absolute IRI as defined by [IETF
RFC 3987]. The value of this property identifies the specific SOAP module
that is in use.
• {required} REQUIRED. A xs:boolean indicating if the SOAP module is
required.
• {parent} REQUIRED. The Binding, Binding Operation, Binding Message
Reference, Binding Fault or Binding Fault Reference component component
that contains this component in its {soap modules} property.
5.8.4 XML Representation
*
*
*
*
*
*
The XML representation for a SOAP Module component is an element information
item with the following Infoset properties:
• A [local name] of module
• A [namespace name] of "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/soap"
• One or more attribute information items amongst its [attributes] as
follows:
□ A REQUIRED ref attribute information item with the following Infoset
properties:
☆ A [local name] of ref
☆ A [namespace name] which has no value
☆ A type of xs:anyURI
□ An OPTIONAL required attribute information item with the following
Infoset properties:
☆ A [local name] of required
☆ A [namespace name] which has no value
☆ A type of xs:boolean
□ Zero or more namespace qualified attribute information items. The
[namespace name] of such attribute information items MUST NOT be "http:
//www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl" and MUST NOT be "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/
wsdl/soap".
• Zero or more element information item amongst its [children], in order, as
follows:
1. Zero or more documentation element information items as defined in [
WSDL 2.0 Core Language].
2. Zero or more namespace-qualified element information items amongst its
[children]. The [namespace name] of such element information items MUST
NOT be "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl" and MUST NOT be "http://
www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/soap".

5.8.6 IRI Identification Of A SOAP Module component
WSDL Version 2.0 Part 1: Core Language [WSDL 2.0 Core Language] defines a
fragment identifier syntax for identifying components of a WSDL 2.0 document.
A SOAP Module component can be identified using the wsdl.extension XPointer
Framework scheme:
wsdl.extension(http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/soap, wsoap.module(parent/ref))
1. parent is the pointer part of the {parent} component, as specified in WSDL
Version 2.0 Part 1: Core Language.
2. ref is the value of the {ref} property of the component.
5.9 Declaring SOAP Header Blocks
5.9.1 Description
SOAP allows the use of header blocks in the header part of the message. This
binding extension allows users to declare the SOAP header blocks in use on a
per message and on a per fault basis.
5.9.2 Relationship to WSDL Component Model
The SOAP Header Blocks binding extension specification adds the following
property to the WSDL component model (as defined in [WSDL 2.0 Core Language]):
• {soap headers} OPTIONAL. A set of SOAP Header Block components as defined
in 5.9.3 SOAP Header Block component, to the Binding Message Reference
component.
• Similarly, {soap headers} OPTIONAL, to the Binding Fault component.
5.9.3 SOAP Header Block component
A SOAP Header Block component describes an abstract piece of header data (SOAP
header block) that is associated with the exchange of messages between the
communicating parties. The presence of a SOAP Header Block component in a WSDL
description indicates that the service supports headers and MAY require a Web
service consumer/client that interacts with the service to use the described
header block. Zero or one such header block may be used.
The properties of the SOAP Header Block component are as follows:
• {element declaration} REQUIRED. A xs:QName, a reference to an XML element
declaration in the {element declarations} property of the Description
component. This XML element declaration represents a SOAP header block.
• {mustUnderstand} REQUIRED. A xs:boolean. When its value is "true", the SOAP
header block MUST be decorated with a SOAP mustUnderstand attribute
information item with a value of "true"; if so, it is an error for the XML
element declaration referenced by the {element declaration} property not to
allow this SOAP mustUnderstand attribute information item. Otherwise, no
additional constraint is placed on the presence and value of a SOAP
mustUnderstand attribute information item.
• {required} REQUIRED. A xs:boolean indicating if the SOAP header block is
required. If the value is "true", then the SOAP header block MUST be
included in the message. If it is "false", then the SOAP header block MAY
be included.
• {parent} REQUIRED. The Binding Fault or Binding Message Reference component
component that contains this component in its {soap headers} property.
5.9.4 XML Representation
*
*
...
*
*
...
*
*
*
The XML representation for a SOAP Header Block component is an element
information item with the following Infoset properties:
• A [local name] of header
• A [namespace name] of "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/soap"
• One or more attribute information items amongst its [attributes] as
follows:
□ A REQUIRED element attribute information item with the following
Infoset properties:
☆ A [local name] of element
☆ A [namespace name] which has no value
☆ A type of xs:QName
□ An OPTIONAL mustUnderstand attribute information item with the
following Infoset properties:
☆ A [local name] of mustUnderstand
☆ A [namespace name] which has no value
☆ A type of xs:boolean
□ An OPTIONAL required attribute information item with the following
Infoset properties:
☆ A [local name] of required
☆ A [namespace name] which has no value
☆ A type of xs:boolean
□ Zero or more namespace qualified attribute information items. The
[namespace name] of such attribute information items MUST NOT be "http:
//www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl" and MUST NOT be "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/
wsdl/soap".
• Zero or more element information item amongst its [children], in order, as
follows:
1. Zero or more documentation element information items as defined in [
WSDL 2.0 Core Language].
2. Zero or more namespace-qualified element information items amongst its
[children]. The [namespace name] of such element information items MUST
NOT be "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl" and MUST NOT be "http://
www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/soap".

5.9.6 IRI Identification Of A SOAP Header Block component
WSDL Version 2.0 Part 1: Core Language [WSDL 2.0 Core Language] defines a
fragment identifier syntax for identifying components of a WSDL 2.0 document.
A SOAP Header Block component can be identified using the wsdl.extension
XPointer Framework scheme:
wsdl.extension(http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/soap, wsoap.header(parent/
namespace#name))
1. parent is the pointer part of the {parent} component, as specified in WSDL
Version 2.0 Part 1: Core Language.
2. namespace is the {element declaration} property value's namespace URI.
3. name is the {element declaration} property value's local name.
5.10 WSDL SOAP 1.2 Binding
5.10.1 Identifying a WSDL SOAP 1.2 Binding
A WSDL SOAP Binding is identified as a SOAP 1.2 binding by assigning the value
"1.2" to the {soap version} property of the Binding component.
5.10.2 Description
The WSDL SOAP 1.2 binding extension defined in this section is an extension of
the SOAP binding defined in section 5. WSDL SOAP Binding Extension to enable
Web Service applications to use SOAP 1.2 [SOAP 1.2 Part 1: Messaging Framework
].
The WSDL SOAP 1.2 binding extension supports the SOAP 1.2 HTTP binding defined
by the [SOAP 1.2 Part 2: Adjuncts] specification. This is indicated by
assigning the URI "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/bindings/HTTP/" (as defined
by [SOAP 1.2 Part 2: Adjuncts]) to the {soap underlying protocol} property.
Other values MAY be used for this property in conjunction with the SOAP 1.2
binding extension defined by this specification provided that the semantics of
such protocols are consistent with this binding extension.
Default rules in section 5.10.3 SOAP 1.2 Binding Rules define the relationship
between SOAP message exchange patterns defined in [SOAP 1.2 Part 2: Adjuncts]
and WSDL message exchange patterns defined in section 2. Predefined Message
Exchange Patterns.
When the SOAP Message Exchange Pattern is the SOAP 1.2 Response MEP and the
underlying protocol is HTTP, the Binding Operation may use the {http location}
property defined in section 6.5 Binding Operations. When this property is
present on the Binding Operation component, the Endpoint component also follows
the rules for constructing the address from the {address} property and the {
http location} property values.
5.10.3 SOAP 1.2 Binding Rules
These binding rules are applicable to SOAP 1.2 bindings.
• SOAP Action Feature. The value of the SOAP Action Feature for the initial
message of the message exchange pattern of the Interface Operation bound is
specified by the {soap action} property of this Binding Operation
component. If the Binding Operation component does NOT have a {soap action}
property defined, then the SOAP Action Feature (see [SOAP 1.2 Part 2:
Adjuncts]) has NO value. Otherwise, its value is the value of the SOAP
Action Feature for the initial message of the message exchange pattern.
• SOAP MEP Selection. For a given Interface Operation component, if there is
a Binding Operation component whose {interface operation} property matches
the component in question and its {soap mep} property has a value, then
SOAP MEP is the value of the {soap mep} property. Otherwise, the SOAP MEP
is the value of the Binding component's {soap mep default}, if any.
Otherwise, if the Interface Operation component's {message exchange pattern
} property has the value "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/in-out", then the
SOAP MEP is the URI "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep/request-response/"
identifying the SOAP Request-Response Message Exchange Pattern as defined
in [SOAP 1.2 Part 2: Adjuncts]. Otherwise (i.e. if the Interface Operation
component has any other value for the {message exchange pattern} property),
it is an ERROR.
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┬──┐
│Editorial note: One-way MEP defaulting │ │
├──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┴──┤
│The Web Services Description Working Group would like to add a rule here │
│defaulting to a standardized SOAP 1.2 one-way MEP for one-way operations │
│if one becomes available. Feedback is sought on this topic. │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
• HTTP Method Selection. This default binding rule is applicable when the
value of the {soap underlying protocol} property of the Binding component
is "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/bindings/HTTP/". If the SOAP MEP
selected as specified above has the value "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/
mep/request-response/" then the HTTP method used is "POST". If the SOAP MEP
selected has the value "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep/soap-response/"
then the HTTP method used is "GET".
• HTTP IRI Generation. This default binding rule is applicable when the value
of the {soap underlying protocol} property of the Binding component is
"http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/bindings/HTTP/". If the SOAP MEP selected
is "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep/soap-response/" then the value of
the SOAP "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep/ImmediateDestination" property
MUST be generated using the HTTP binding extension's rules for generating a
IRI for HTTP GET (see 6.8.2 Serialization as application/
x-www-form-urlencoded ). The input serialization format of application/
x-www-form-urlencoded is the only supported serialization format for HTTP
GET in the SOAP Response Message Exchange Pattern.
5.10.4 Binding WSDL 2.0 MEPs to SOAP 1.2 MEPs
This section describes the relationship between WSDL components and SOAP 1.2
MEP properties as described in [SOAP 1.2 Part 2: Adjuncts].
5.10.4.1 Using SOAP Request-Response
When using the WSDL "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/in-out" message exchange
pattern bound to a SOAP "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep/request-response/"
MEP (as would be the case for a usual SOAP-over-HTTP In-Out operation), this
section describes the relationships. Extensions (such as [WSA 1.0 Core]) MAY
alter these mappings.
5.10.4.1.1 The Client
As the client, the property "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/bindingFramework/
ExchangeContext/Role" takes the value "RequestingSOAPNode".
The SOAP "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep/ImmediateDestination" property
takes the value of the WSDL {address} property of the Endpoint component.
The WSDL "In" message is mapped to the SOAP "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep
/OutboundMessage" property.
The WSDL "Out" message maps to the SOAP "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep/
InboundMessage" property.
5.10.4.1.2 The Service
As the service, the property "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/bindingFramework/
ExchangeContext/Role" takes the value "RespondingSOAPNode".
The WSDL "In" message is mapped to the SOAP "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep
/InboundMessage" property.
The WSDL "Out" message maps to the SOAP "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep/
OutboundMessage" property.
5.10.4.2 Using SOAP-Response
When using the WSDL "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/in-out" message exchange
pattern bound to a "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep/soap-response/" SOAP
MEP, this section describes the relationships.
5.10.4.2.1 The Client
As the client, the property "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/bindingFramework/
ExchangeContext/Role" takes the value "RequestingSOAPNode".
The SOAP "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep/ImmediateDestination" property
takes the value of the WSDL {address} property, modified by the {http location}
property following the rules described in section 6.8.2 Serialization as
application/x-www-form-urlencoded .
The SOAP "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep/OutboundMessage" property has no
value.
The WSDL "Out" message maps to the SOAP "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep/
InboundMessage" property.
5.10.4.2.2 The Service
As the service, the property "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/bindingFramework/
ExchangeContext/Role" takes the value "RespondingSOAPNode".
The WSDL "In" message is constructed from the destination URI as per the rules
in section 6.8.2 Serialization as application/x-www-form-urlencoded .
The WSDL "Out" message maps to the SOAP "http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap/mep/
OutboundMessage" property.
5.11 Conformance
An element information item whose namespace name is "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/
wsdl" and whose local part is description conforms to this binding extension
specification if the element information items and attribute information items
whose namespace is http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/soap conform to the XML
Schema for that element or attribute as defined by this specification and
additionally adheres to all the constraints contained in this specification.
6. WSDL HTTP Binding Extension
The HTTP binding extension described in this section is an extension for [WSDL
2.0 Core Language] to enable Web Services applications to use HTTP 1.1 [IETF
RFC 2616] (as well as other versions of HTTP) and HTTPS [IETF RFC 2818]. This
binding extension extends WSDL 2.0 by adding properties to the component model
defined in [WSDL 2.0 Core Language]. In addition an XML Infoset representation
for these additional properties is provided, along with a mapping from that
representation to the various component properties.
As allowed in [WSDL 2.0 Core Language], a Binding component MAY exist without
indicating a specific Interface component that it applies to. In this case
there MUST NOT be any Binding Operation or Binding Fault components present in
the Binding component.
The HTTP binding extension is designed with the objective of minimizing what
needs to be explicitly declared for common cases. This is achieved by defining
a set of default rules which apply for all Interface Operation components of an
Interface component, unless specifically overridden on a per Interface
Operation basis. Thus, if a given Interface Operation component is not referred
to specifically, then all the default rules apply for that component. That is,
per the requirements of [WSDL 2.0 Core Language] all operations of an Interface
component are bound by an HTTP binding.
[Definition: The internal tree representation of an input, output or fault
message is called an instance data, and is constrained by the schema definition
associated the message: the XML element referenced in the {element declaration}
property of the Interface Message Reference component for input and output
messages (unless the {message content model} is "#any"), and in the {element
declaration} property of an Interface Fault component for faults.]
6.1 Identifying the use of the HTTP Binding
A Binding component (defined in [WSDL 2.0 Core Language]) is identified as an
HTTP binding by assigning the value "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/http" to
the {type} property of the Binding component.

6.3 HTTP Binding Rules
6.3.1 HTTP Method Selection
When formulating the HTTP message to be transmitted, the HTTP request method
used MUST be the following:
• For a given Interface Operation component, if there is a Binding Operation
component whose {interface operation} property matches the component in
question and its {http method} property has a value, then the value of the
{http method} property.
• Otherwise, the value of the Binding component's {http method default}, if
any.
• Otherwise, if a {safety} property as defined in 3.1 Operation safety is
present on the bound Interface Operation component and has a value of
"true", the value "GET".
• Otherwise, it is an ERROR.
6.3.2 Payload Construction And Serialization Format
When formulating the HTTP message to be transmitted, the contents of the
payload (i.e. the contents of the HTTP message body) MUST be what is defined by
the corresponding Interface Message Reference or Interface Fault components,
serialized as specified by the serialization format used.
[Definition: The serialization format is a media type token ("type/subtype").
It identifies rules to serialize a message in an HTTP message. Its value
follows the following rules. The HTTP request serialization format MUST be in
the media type range specified by the {http input serialization} property. The
HTTP response serialization format MUST be in the media type range specified by
the {http output serialization} property. The HTTP serialization format of a
fault MUST be in the media type range specified by the {http fault
serialization} property. The concept of media type range is defined in Section
14.1 of [IETF RFC 2616]. The serialization format MAY have associated media
type parameters (specified with the parameter production of media-range in
Section 14.1 of [IETF RFC 2616]. ]
Section 6.8 Serialization Format of Instance Data defines serialization formats
supported by this binding extension along with their constraints.
• Interface Message Reference component:
□ If the value of the {message content model} property of the Interface
Message Reference bound is "#any" or "#element", the serialization of
the instance data is specified as defined in section 6.3.2.1
Serialization rules for XML messages.
□ If the value is "#none" then the payload MUST be empty and the value of
the corresponding serialization property ({http input serialization} or
{http output serialization}) is ignored.
□ If the value is "#other" then the serialization format and its
associated media type parameters, if any specifies the value of the
HTTP Content-Type entity-header field as defined in section 14.17 of [
IETF RFC 2616]. The serialization of the payload is undefined.
• Interface Fault component: the serialization of the instance data is
specified as defined in section 6.3.2.1 Serialization rules for XML
messages.
If the Interface Message Reference component or the Interface Fault component
is declared using a non-XML type system (as considered in the Types section of
[WSDL 2.0 Core Language]) then additional binding rules MUST be defined to
indicate how to map those components into the HTTP envelope.
6.3.2.1 Serialization rules for XML messages
The serialization rules for messages whose {message content model} is either "#
element" or "#any" and for fault messages are as follows:
• If the serialization format is "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", then
the serialization of the instance data is defined by section 6.8.2
Serialization as application/x-www-form-urlencoded .
• If the serialization format is "multipart/form-data", then the
serialization of the instance data is defined by section 6.8.4
Serialization as multipart/form-data .
• If the serialization format is "application/xml", then the serialization of
the instance data is defined by section 6.8.3 Serialization as application/
xml .
• Otherwise, then the serialization of the instance data is defined by
section 6.8.3 Serialization as application/xml with the following
additional rule: the value of the HTTP Content-Type entity-header field is
the value of the serialization format and its associated media type
parameters, if any.
6.3.3 Default input and output serialization format
Section Table 6-1 defines the default values for the GET, POST, PUT and DELETE
values of the HTTP method as selected in section 6.3.1 HTTP Method Selection.
Table 6-1. Default values for GET, POST, PUT and DELETE
┌─────────────────────────────┬─────────────────────────┬─────────────────────┐
│ HTTP Method │ Default Input │ Default Output │

├─────────────────────────────┼─────────────────────────┼─────────────────────┤
│DELETE │application/ │application/xml │
│ │x-www-form-urlencoded │ │
└─────────────────────────────┴─────────────────────────┴─────────────────────┘
Note:
The application/x-www-form-urlencoded serialization format places constraints
on the XML Schema definition of the {element declaration} property of the
Interface Message Reference components of the Interface Operation component
bound (see 6.8.2 Serialization as application/x-www-form-urlencoded ).
The default value for the {http input serialization} and {http output
serialization} properties for any other HTTP method selected is application/
xml.
Mechanisms other than setting the serialization properties MAY modify the
serialization format of the instance data corresponding to the message. An
example of such modification is the WSDL SOAP Binding HTTP IRI Serialization
rules specified in 5.3 SOAP Binding Rules. This binding extension specifies
that the SOAP-Response Message Exchange Pattern ([SOAP 1.2 Part 2: Adjuncts],
Section 6.3) only supports input message serialization as application/
x-www-form-urlencoded. Other examples of such mechanisms are other message
exchange patterns or binding extensions.
6.3.4 HTTP Header Construction
If the {http headers} property as defined in section 6.6 Declaring HTTP Headers
exists and is not empty in a Binding Message Reference or Binding Fault
component, HTTP headers conforming to each HTTP Header component contained in
this {http headers} property MAY be serialized as follows:
• The HTTP header field name used is the value of the {name} property of the
HTTP Header component. If an HTTP header field corresponding to the value
of the {name} property is set by a mechanism other than the HTTP binding,
such as the HTTP stack or another feature, then an error MUST be raised.
• The HTTP header field value, whose XML Schema type is declared by the {type
definition} property of the HTTP Header component, is serialized following
the rules of the field-value production of section 4.2 of [IETF RFC 2616].
If the value of an HTTP Header component's {required} property is "true", the
inclusion of this HTTP header field is REQUIRED, otherwise it is OPTIONAL.
6.4 Specifying the HTTP Version
6.4.1 Description
Every Binding component MUST indicate what version of HTTP is in use for the
operations of the interface that this binding applies to.
By default, HTTP/1.1 [IETF RFC 2616] is used.
6.4.2 Relationship to WSDL Component Model
The HTTP binding extension specification adds the following property to the
WSDL component model (as defined in [WSDL 2.0 Core Language]):
• {http version} REQUIRED. A xs:string to the Binding component. The value of
this property follows the "." numbering scheme defined in
section 3.1 of Hypertext Transfer Protocol -- HTTP/1.1 [IETF RFC 2616].
6.4.3 XML Representation
The XML representation for specifying the HTTP version is an optional attribute
information item with the following Infoset properties:
• A [local name] of version
• A [namespace name] of "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/http"
• A type of xs:string whose pattern facet is "[0-9]+\.[0-9]+".

6.5 Binding Operations
6.5.1 Description
This binding extension specification provides a binding to HTTP of Interface
Operation components whose {message exchange pattern} property has the value
"http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/in-only", "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/
robust-in-only" or "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/in-out". This HTTP binding
extension MAY be used with other message exchange patterns such as outbound
message exchange patterns, provided that additional semantics are defined, such
as with an extension or with a Feature.
Each of the supported message exchange patterns involves one to two messages or
faults being exchanged. The first is transmitted using an HTTP request, and the
second is transmitted using the corresponding HTTP response. In cases where
only one message is being sent, the message body of the HTTP response MUST be
empty.
For every Binding Operation component corresponding to such Interface Operation
components, this binding extension specification allows the user to indicate
the HTTP method to use, the input, output and fault serialization, and the
location of the bound operation.
6.5.2 Relationship to WSDL Component Model
The HTTP binding extension adds the following properties to the WSDL component
model (as defined in [WSDL 2.0 Core Language]):
• {http location} OPTIONAL. A xs:anyURI, to the Binding Operation component.
This IRI is combined with the base IRI specified in the {address} property
of the Endpoint component to form the full IRI for the HTTP request to
invoke the operation. It MUST contain an absolute or a relative IRI, i.e.
it MUST NOT include a fragment identifier in the IRI. Input serializations
may define additional processing rules to be applied to the value of {http
location} before combining it with the {address} property of the endpoint
element to form the HTTP request IRI. For example, the three serialization
formats defined in section 6.8 Serialization Format of Instance Data define
a syntax to use the {http location} as a template using elements of the
instance data.
If the resulting IRI uses the https scheme, then HTTP over TLS [IETF RFC
2818] is used to send the HTTP request.
• {http method default} OPTIONAL. A xs:string, to the Binding component,
indicating the default value for the HTTP Request Method for all the
Interface Operation components of any Interface component that uses this
Binding component.
• {http method} OPTIONAL. A xs:string, to the Binding Operation component,
indicating the value for the HTTP Request Method for this specific Binding
Operation.
• {http input serialization} REQUIRED. A xs:string, to the Binding Operation
component, indicating allowed serialization rules of the HTTP Request
message for this specific operation, as described in section 6.5.3
Specification of serialization rules allowed.
• {http output serialization} REQUIRED. A xs:string, to the Binding Operation
component, indicating allowed serialization rules of the HTTP Response
message for this specific operation, as described in section 6.5.3
Specification of serialization rules allowed.
• {http fault serialization} REQUIRED. A xs:string, to the Binding Operation
component, indicating allowed serialization rules of the HTTP Response
message for this specific operation in case a fault is returned, as
described in section 6.5.3 Specification of serialization rules allowed.
• {http query parameter separator default} REQUIRED. A xs:string, to the
Binding component, indicating the default query parameter separator
character for all the Interface Operation components of any Interface
component that uses this Binding component.
• {http query parameter separator} OPTIONAL. A xs:string, to the Binding
Operation component, indicating the query parameter separator character for
this Binding Operation component.
6.5.3 Specification of serialization rules allowed
The value of the {http input serialization}, {http output serialization} and {
http fault serialization} properties is similar to the value allowed for the
Accept HTTP header defined by the HTTP 1.1 specification, Section 14.1 (see [
IETF RFC 2616]) and MUST follow the production rules defined in that section
except for the following:
1. The prefix "Accept:" MUST NOT be used.
2. The rule qdtext is changed from:
qdtext = >
to:
qdtext = >
This change is made to disallow non-US-ASCII OCTETs.
These properties allow to indicate the range of media types and/or associated
parameters with which an instance MAY be serialized. The value of the
serialization format used for a message is a media type which MUST be covered
by this range. Users of this attribute information item are urged to avoid
using wild cards (for example, "application/*") as it may lead to
interoperability problems.
The use of {http input serialization}, {http output serialization} and {http
fault serialization} is specified in section 6.3.2 Payload Construction And
Serialization Format.

6.6 Declaring HTTP Headers
6.6.1 Description
HTTP allows the use of headers in messages. This binding extension allows users
to declare the HTTP headers in use on a per message and on a per fault basis.
6.6.2 Relationship to WSDL Component Model
The HTTP Header binding extension specification adds the following property to
the WSDL component model (as defined in [WSDL 2.0 Core Language]):
• {http headers} OPTIONAL. A set of HTTP Header components as defined in
6.6.3 HTTP Header component, to the Binding Message Reference component.
• Similarly, {http headers} OPTIONAL, to the Binding Fault component.
It is an ERROR for a Binding Message Reference or a Binding Fault component's {
http headers} property to contain multiple HTTP Header components with the same
{name} property.
6.6.3 HTTP Header component
A HTTP Header component describes an abstract piece of header data (HTTP header
field) that is associated with the exchange of messages between the
communicating parties. The presence of a HTTP Header component in a WSDL
description indicates that the service support headers and MAY require a Web
service consumer/client that interacts with the service to use the described
header field. Zero or one such header field may be used.
The properties of the HTTP Header component are as follows:
• {name} REQUIRED. A xs:string whose pattern facet is "[!#-'*+\-.0-9A-Z^-z|~]
+", the name of the HTTP header field. The value of this property follows
the field-name production rules as specified in section 4.2 of [IETF RFC
2616].
• {type definition} REQUIRED. A xs:QName, being a reference to a Type
Definition component in the {type definitions} property of the Description
component constraining the value of the HTTP header field. This type MUST
be a simple type.
• {required} REQUIRED. A xs:boolean indicating if the HTTP header field is
required. If the value is "true", then the HTTP header field MUST be
included in the message. If it is "false", then the HTTP header field MAY
be included.
• {parent} REQUIRED. The Binding Fault or Binding Message Reference component
component that contains this component in its {http headers} property.
6.6.4 XML Representation
*
*
...
*
*
...
*
*
*
The XML representation for a HTTP Header component is an element information
item with the following Infoset properties:
• A [local name] of header
• A [namespace name] of "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/http"
• One or more attribute information items amongst its [attributes] as
follows:
□ A REQUIRED name attribute information item with the following Infoset
properties:
☆ A [local name] of name
☆ A [namespace name] which has no value
☆ A type of xs:string whose pattern facet is "[!#-'*+\-.0-9A-Z^-z|~]

□ A REQUIRED type attribute information item with the following Infoset
properties:
☆ A [local name] of type
☆ A [namespace name] which has no value
☆ A type of xs:QName
□ An OPTIONAL required attribute information item with the following
Infoset properties:
☆ A [local name] of required
☆ A [namespace name] which has no value
☆ A type of xs:boolean
□ Zero or more namespace qualified attribute information items. The
[namespace name] of such attribute information items MUST NOT be "http:
//www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl" and MUST NOT be "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/
wsdl/http".
• Zero or more element information item amongst its [children], in order, as
follows:
1. Zero or more documentation element information items as defined in [
WSDL 2.0 Core Language].
2. Zero or more namespace-qualified element information items amongst its
[children]. The [namespace name] of such element information items MUST

6.6.6 IRI Identification Of A HTTP Header component
WSDL Version 2.0 Part 1: Core Language [WSDL 2.0 Core Language] defines a
fragment identifier syntax for identifying components of a WSDL 2.0 document.
An HTTP Header component can be identified using the wsdl.extension XPointer
Framework scheme:
wsdl.extension(http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/http, whttp.header(parent/name))
1. parent is the pointer part of the {parent} component, as specified in WSDL
Version 2.0 Part 1: Core Language.
2. name is the {name} property value.
6.7 Specifying HTTP Error Code for Faults
6.7.1 Description
For every Interface Fault component contained in an Interface component, an
HTTP error code MAY be defined. It represents the error code that will be used
by the service in case the fault needs to be returned.
The fault definition SHOULD NOT go against the definition of the HTTP error
codes, as specified in section 8 of [IETF RFC 3205].
6.7.2 Relationship to WSDL Component Model
The HTTP Fault binding extension adds the following property to the WSDL
component model (as defined in [WSDL 2.0 Core Language]):
• {http error status code} REQUIRED. A union of xs:int and xs:token where the
allowed token value is "#any", to the Binding Fault component. An integer
value of this property identifies the error Status-Code as defined by [IETF
RFC 2616] that the service will use in case the fault is returned. If the
value of this property is "#any", no claim is made by the service.
6.7.3 XML Representation
*
The XML representation for binding an HTTP Fault are two attribute information
items with the following Infoset properties:
• a code OPTIONAL attribute information item
□ A [local name] of code
□ A [namespace name] of "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/http"
□ A type of union of xs:int and xs:token where the allowed token value is
"#any"

6.8 Serialization Format of Instance Data
This section specifies three serialization formats defining rules to encode an
instance data corresponding to an input and output message as an HTTP message.
Table 6-6 and Table 6-7 give an overview of those serialization formats and
their constraints. All of them allow serialization of parts of the instance
data in the HTTP Request IRI, as defined in section 6.8.1 Serialization of the
instance data in parts of the HTTP request IRI.
Other serialization formats may be defined. Those MAY place restrictions on the
style of the Interface Operation bound.

│on this issue from users and implementers is highly encouraged. │
└─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
This section defines templating rules for the {http location} property of the
Binding Operation component. It is used by the serialization formats defined in
section 6.8 Serialization Format of Instance Data, and MAY be reused by other
serialization formats.
With this HTTP binding, part of the instance data for HTTP requests MAY be
serialized in the HTTP request IRI, and another part MAY be serialized in the
HTTP message body.
If the {style} property of the Interface Operation bound has a value of "http:/
/www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/style/iri" as defined in 4.2 IRI Style, and if the {
http location} property of the Binding Operation component is present, the
value of the {http location} property component is used as a template which is
combined with the {address} property of the endpoint element to form the full
IRI to be used in an HTTP request, as specified in section 6.5.2 Relationship
to WSDL Component Model.
The resulting IRI MUST be mapped to an URI for use in the HTTP Request as per
section 3.1 "Mapping of IRIs to URIs" of the IRI specification [IETF RFC 3987].
Additional rules for the serialization of the HTTP request IRI MAY be defined
by a serialization format.
6.8.1.1 Construction of the request IRI using the {http location} property
The {http location} property, if present, MAY cite local names of elements from
the instance data of the message to be serialized in request IRI by enclosing
the element name within curly braces (e.g. "temperature/{town}"):
• When constructing the request IRI, each pair of curly braces (and enclosed
element name) is replaced by the possibly empty single value of the
corresponding element. It is an error for this element to carry an xs:nil
attribute whose value is "true".
• A double curly brace (i.e. "{{" or "}}") MAY be used to include a single,
literal curly brace in the request IRI.
An element MUST NOT be cited more than once within the {http location}
property.
Strings enclosed within single curly braces MUST be element names from the
instance data of the input message, possibly followed by a slash; any other
strings enclosed within single curly braces are a fatal error.
6.8.2 Serialization as "application/x-www-form-urlencoded"
This serialization format is designed to allow a client or Web service to
produce an IRI based on the instance data of a message and serialize a query
string in the HTTP message body as application/x-www-form-urlencoded.
It may only be used when binding Interface Operation whose {style} property has
a value of "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/style/iri" as defined in 4.2 IRI
Style, i.e. this serialization format may only be used to serialize the HTTP
request corresponding to the initial message of an interface operation.
Because the IRI Style constrains the instance data not to contain multiple
children elements declared with the same local name, elements can be serialized
in the request IRI with their local names unambiguously.
For the HTTP binding defined in this section (6. WSDL HTTP Binding Extension),
"application/x-www-form-urlencoded" MAY be used as a serialization format for
an input message (HTTP Request), but MUST NOT be used as a serialization format
for an output or fault message (HTTP Response).
6.8.2.1 Case of elements cited in the {http location} property
In this serialization, the rules for constructing the HTTP request IRI using
elements cited in the {http location} property defined in 6.8.1 Serialization
of the instance data in parts of the HTTP request IRI apply. Additional rules
for constructing the HTTP request IRI follow.
6.8.2.2 Serialization of content of the instance data not cited in the {http
location} property
If not all elements from the instance data are cited in the {http location}
property, or if the property is not present on the Binding Operation component,
then additional serialization rules apply.
The remainder of the instance data is formatted as a query string as defined in
6.8.2.2.1 Construction of the query string.
If the HTTP method used for the request does not allow a message body, then
this query string is serialized as parameters in the request IRI (see 6.8.2.2.3
Serialization in the request IRI), otherwise it is serialized in the message
body (see 6.8.2.2.4 Serialization in the message body).
6.8.2.2.1 Construction of the query string
For elements of the instance data not cited in the {http location} property, a
query string is constructed as follows.
Non-nil elements with a possibly empty single value of the instance data not
cited are serialized as query parameters in the order they appear in the
instance data.
It is an error for the instance data to contain elements with an xs:nil
attribute whose value is "true".
Each parameter pair is separated by the value of the {http query parameter
separator} property, if present, or the value of the {http query parameter
separator default} property.
• Uncited elements with single values (non-list) are serialized as a single
name-value parameter pair. The name of the parameter is the local name of
the uncited element, and the value of the parameter is the value of the
uncited element.
• Uncited elements with list values are serialized as one name-value
parameter pair per list value. The name of each parameter is the local name
of the uncited element, and the value of each parameter is the
corresponding value in the list. The order of the list values is preserved.
Example 6-1. Query string generation
The following instance data of an input message
Fréjus
2006-01-06
C
with the following value of the {http location} property:
'temperature/{town}'
and the following value of the {http query parameter separator default}
property:
'&'
will produce the following query string:
date=2006-01-06&unit=C
6.8.2.2.2 Controlling the serialization of the query string in the request IRI
This serialization format adds the following property to the WSDL component
model:
• {http location ignore uncited} MANDATORY. A xs:boolean. This boolean
indicates whether elements not cited in the {http location} property MUST
be appended to the request IRI or ignored. If the value of this property is
"false", the rules defined in section 6.8.2.2.3 Serialization in the
request IRI dictate how to serialize elements not cited in {http location}
in the request IRI. Otherwise, those are NOT serialized in the request IRI.
The XML representation for this property is an attribute information item with
the following Infoset properties:
• An OPTIONAL ignoreUncited attribute information item with the following
Infoset properties:
□ A [local name] of ignoreUncited
□ A [namespace name] of "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/http"
□ A type of xs:boolean
The mapping from the XML representation to component properties is as follows:

│ Property │ Value │
├──────────────────┼──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤
│{http location │The actual value of the whttp:ignoreUncited attribute │
│ignore uncited} │information item, if present. Otherwise, "false". │
└──────────────────┴──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
6.8.2.2.3 Serialization in the request IRI
If the HTTP request method used does not allow HTTP message body (e.g. "GET"
and "DELETE"), and if the value of the {http location ignore uncited} property
is "false", then the following rules apply.
If the {http location} property is not present, or if it is present and its
value does not contain a "?" (question mark) character, one is appended to the
request IRI. If it does already contain a question mark character, then the
value of the {http query parameter separator} property, if present, or the
value of the {http query parameter separator default} property otherwise, is
appended.
Finally, the query string computed in 6.8.2.2.1 Construction of the query
string is appended.
Example 6-2. Instance data serialized in a IRI
The instance data defined in Example 6-1 with the following operation
declaration:
and the following endpoint declaration:
will serialize the message in the HTTP request as follows:
GET http://ws.example.com/service1/
temperature/Fr%C3%A9jus?date=2006-01-06&unit=C HTTP/1.1
Host: ws.example.com
6.8.2.2.4 Serialization in the message body
If the HTTP request method used does allow an HTTP message body (e.g. "POST"
and "PUT"), then the following rules apply.
Finally, the query string computed in 6.8.2.2.1 Construction of the query
string is used as the value of the HTTP message body.
The Content-Type HTTP header field must have the value application/
x-www-form-urlencoded.
Example 6-3. Instance data serialized in the HTTP Request IRI and message body
The instance data defined in Example 6-1 with the following operation
declaration:
and the following endpoint declaration:
will serialize the message in the HTTP request as follow:
POST http://ws.example.com/service1/temperature/Fr%C3%A9jus HTTP/1.1
Host: ws.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
Content-Length: …
date=2006-01-06&unit=C
6.8.3 Serialization as "application/xml"
In this serialization, for HTTP requests, the rules for constructing the HTTP
request IRI defined in 6.8.1 Serialization of the instance data in parts of the
HTTP request IRI apply if the {style} property of the Interface Operation bound
has a value of "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/style/iri" as defined in 4.2 IRI
Style.
The instance data of the input, output or fault message is serialized as an XML
document in the message body of the HTTP message, following the serialization
defined in [Canonical XML]. Therefore, it is only suitable for HTTP requests
using methods allowing message bodies (i.e., for the HTTP binding defined in
this specification, input messages where the HTTP method selected has a body),
and for HTTP responses (i.e. output and fault messages for the HTTP binding
defined in this specification).
The Content-Type HTTP header MUST have the value application/xml, or a media
type compatible with application/xml as specified in section 6.3.2.1
Serialization rules for XML messages. Other HTTP headers, such as
Content-Encoding or Transfer-Encoding, MAY be used.
6.8.4 Serialization as "multipart/form-data"
In this serialization, for HTTP requests, the rules for constructing the HTTP
request IRI defined in 6.8.1 Serialization of the instance data in parts of the
HTTP request IRI apply if the {style} property of the Interface Operation bound
has a value of "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/style/iri" as defined in 4.2 IRI
Style.
This format is for legacy compatibility to permit the use of XForms clients
with [IETF RFC 2388] servers. This serialization format may only be used when
binding Interface Operation whose {style} property has a value of "http://
www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/style/multipart" as defined in 4.3 Multipart style,
i.e. this serialization format may only be used to serialize the HTTP request
corresponding to the initial message of an interface operation.
Specifically, for the HTTP binding defined in this section (6. WSDL HTTP
Binding Extension), "multipart/form-data" MAY be used as a serialization format
for an input message (HTTP Request), but MUST NOT be used as a serialization
format for an output or fault message (HTTP Response). This format serializes
the instance data in the HTTP message body, making it only suitable for HTTP
requests using methods allowing message bodies.
Each element in the sequence is serialized into a part as follow:
1. The Content-Disposition header MUST have the value form-data, and its name
parameter is the local name of the element.
2. The Content-Type header MUST have the value:
□ application/xml (or a media type compatible with application/xml) if
the element has a complex type;
□ application/octet-stream if the element is of type xs:base64Binary,
xs:hexBinary, or a derived type;
□ text/plain if the element has a simple type; The charset MUST be set
appropriately. UTF-8 or UTF-16 MUST be at least supported.
3. If the type is xs:base64Binary, xs:hexBinary, xs:anySimpleType or a derived
type, the content of the part is the content of the element. If the type is
a complex type, the element is serialized following the rules defined in
the 6.8.3 Serialization as application/xml .
It is an error for the instance data to contain elements with an xs:nil
attribute whose value is "true".
Example 6-4. Example of multipart/form-data
The following instance data of an input message:
Fréjus
France
2006-01-06
with the following operation element
will serialize the message as follow:
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=AaB03x
Content-Length: xxx
--AaB03x
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="town"
Content-Type: application/xml
Fréjus

Content-Disposition: form-data; name="date"
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8
2006-01-06

6.9 Specifying the Transfer Coding
6.9.1 Description
Every Binding Message Reference and Interface Fault Reference component MAY
indicate which transfer codings, as defined in section 3.6 of [IETF RFC 2616],
are available for this particular message.
The HTTP binding extension provides a mechanism for indicating a default value
at the Binding component and Binding Operation levels.
If no value is specified, no claim is being made.
6.9.2 Relationship to WSDL Component Model
The HTTP binding extension specification adds the following property to the
WSDL component model (as defined in [WSDL 2.0 Core Language]):
• {http transfer coding default} OPTIONAL. A xs:string to the Binding
component. This property indicates the default transfer codings available
for all Interface Message Reference and Interface Fault Reference
components of any Interface component that uses this Binding component. Its
value is ignored when the value of the {http version} property is "1.0".
• {http transfer coding default} OPTIONAL. A xs:string to the Binding
Operation component. This property indicates the default transfer codings
available for all Binding Message Reference and Binding Fault components of
this Binding Operation component. Its value is ignored when the value of
the {http version} property is "1.0".
• {http transfer coding} OPTIONAL. A xs:string to the Binding Message
Reference component. This property indicates the transfer codings available
for this Binding Message Reference component. Its value is ignored when the
value of the {http version} property is "1.0".

6.10 Specifying the Use of HTTP Cookies
6.10.1 Description
Every Binding component MAY indicate whether HTTP cookies (as defined by [IETF
RFC 2965]) are used for some or all of operations of the interface that this
binding applies to.
6.10.2 Relationship to WSDL Component Model
The HTTP binding extension specification adds the following property to the
WSDL component model (as defined in [WSDL 2.0 Core Language]):
• {http cookies} REQUIRED. A xs:boolean to the Binding component.
6.10.3 XML Representation
The XML representation for specifying the use of HTTP cookies is an OPTIONAL
attribute information item with the following Infoset properties:

6.11 Specifying HTTP Access Authentication
6.11.1 Description
Every Endpoint component MAY indicate the use of an HTTP access authentication
mechanism (as defined by [IETF RFC 2616]) for the endpoint described.
This binding extension specification allows the authentication scheme and realm
to be specified.
6.11.2 Relationship to WSDL Component Model
The HTTP binding extension specification adds the following property to the
WSDL component model (as defined in [WSDL 2.0 Core Language]):
• {http authentication scheme} OPTIONAL. A xs:token with one of the values
"basic" or "digest", to the Endpoint component, corresponding to the HTTP
authentication scheme used. When present, this property indicates the
authentication scheme in use: "basic" indicates the Basic Access
Authentication scheme defined in [IETF RFC 2617], and "digest" indicates
the Digest Access Authentication scheme as defined in [IETF RFC 2617].
• {http authentication realm} OPTIONAL. A xs:string to the Endpoint
component. It corresponds to the realm authentication parameter defined in
[IETF RFC 2617]. If the {http authentication scheme} property is present,
then this property MUST be present.
6.11.3 XML Representation
whttp:authenticationType="xs:token"?
whttp:authenticationRealm="xs:string"? />
The XML representation for specifying the use of HTTP access authentication is
two OPTIONAL attribute information items with the following Infoset properties:
• An OPTIONAL authenticationType attribute information item with the
following Infoset properties:
□ A [local name] of authenticationType
□ A [namespace name] of "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/http"
□ A type of xs:token where the allowed token values are "basic" and
"digest".
• An OPTIONAL authenticationRealm attribute information item with the
following Infoset properties:
□ A [local name] of authenticationRealm
□ A [namespace name] of "http://www.w3.org/2006/01/wsdl/http"
□ A type of xs:string
