# wsdl2dispatch(1)

generate Python code skeleton for SOAP server from WSDL

## NAME

wsdl2dispatch - generate Python code skeleton for SOAP server from WSDL

## SYNOPSIS

**wsdl2dispatch** -f *wsdlfile* \| -u *url* \[*options*\]

## DESCRIPTION

**wsdl2dispatch** is a utility to generate a code skeleton from a WSDL file for a SOAP server in Python, using ZSI. The programmer still has to implement the HTTP server / request handler and the hooks to invoke the actual worker methods. Note, however, that ZSI also includes ZSI.ServiceContainer which implements the server functionality.

## OPTIONS

- **-f** *wsdlfile*

  Specifies an on-disk WSDL file to parse.

- **-u** *url*

  Specifies a URL pointing to the WSDL file to be parsed.

- **-h**

  Display a brief help message.

- **-e**

  Enables experimental server code generation.

- **-d** *outputdir*

  Specifies the directory where the output files will be placed.

- **-t** *typesmodule*

  Specifies a module name to use as the types implementation.
