« WS-REST continued: do we need an HTTP Transfer SOAP binding and simplified WSDL? | Main | Finally joining the Flickr and PhotoBlog community »
Yahoo has released the Yahoo search api. It is RESTful and does not use SOAP or WSDL. WSDL 2.0 has tried very hard to model RESTful Web services. For some reason Yahoo provided their documentation in text form as well as a schema for the response, they didn't provide a WSDL 1.1 or WSDL 2.0.
I quickly wrote up the WSDL 2.0 for their service.
Here's my attempts the Query type and the Yahoo Search in WSDL 2.0.
It could be simpler, but it certainly seems to do the job.

I love this. If the web services clients support this it answers my concerns about not being able to automatically generate clients for REST services.

I'm looking for tools to deal with this kind of scenario.
I think I see a typo... which suggests that this hasn't been run thru any tools, but I'm not giving up hope just yet.
Can you point me at any tools that do anything useful with this sort of WSDL description?
