Hello Experts ,
Can any one tell me the difference between WSDL and Web Service URL?
Thanks,

A web service (also webservice) is traditionally defined by the W3C as “a software system designed to support interoperable machine-to-machine interaction over a network. It has an interface described in a machine-processable format (specifically Web Services Description Language WSDL). Other systems interact with the web service in a manner prescribed by its description using SOAP messages, typically conveyed using HTTP with an XML serialization in conjunction with other web-related standards.”[1]
Web services today are frequently just Application Programming Interfaces (API) or web APIs that can be accessed over a network, such as the Internet, and executed on a remote system hosting the requested services

Think of it this way -
WSDL - Web Service Definition Language: Instructions on how to consume and interact with the web service. Only needed once and must reimport if the web service changes.
URL: The location that the web service resides. This can be made relative so that you don’t have to change it when moving from Dev to Prod.
Hope this helps.

Hi,
Can you explain in detail that how can I make the Ulr as relative?
Thanks

Here is link to a similar post regarding relative WebService URLs: https://bobj-board.org/t/100070
Let me know if this provides enough details.
