Accessing a web service WSDL file

I am fairly new to Web Services and had the following doubt.

My understanding is a Web Service uses WSDL to describe its Service Contract i.e the operations it supports, binding and address of web service.

Now, if I want to write a web application that wants to use services from any web service, how do I get its WSDL file ?

You havent specified the language that you are using fot writing your web application, so let me give you a generic answer. You need a soap client to negotiate with web service. There are several possible options for soap client. For eg:

  1. Python: SUDS
  2. PHP: SoapClient Class
  3. Ruby: SOAP4R
  4. C#: just add service reference (natively available)
  5. Java: SoapUI brief Example I found
