\n\tA SOAP message is a XML document which is used to transmit your data. WSDL is an XML document which describes how to connect and make requests to your web service.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tBasically SOAP messages are the data you transmit, WSDL tells you what you can do and how to make the calls.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tIn a simple terms if you have a web service of calculator. WSDL tells about the functions that you can implement or exposed to the client. For example: add, delete, subtract and so on. Where as using SOAP you actually perform actions like doDelete(), doSubtract(), doAdd(). So SOAP and WSDL are apples and oranges. We should not compare them. They both have their own different functionality.\n<\/p>\n
\n\tfor example: Lifted from stackoverflow,\n<\/p>\n
