Short Description
Alex Borsody, Senior Developer at Achieve, discusses his thoughts on SOAP/WSDL documentation on the developer portal
Body

The Apigee Dev Portal does not support SOAP/WSDL (Simple Object Access Protocol/Web Service Definition Language) documentation by design. However, Apigee is seeing a number of prospects and customers who have legacy SOAP APIs that they want to onboard onto Apigee Edge quickly.  Apigee’s current strategy is to put a REST (Representational State Transfer) facade in front of a SOAP backend as an interim solution. This way customers can take advantage of the out-of-the-box analytics as part of their rationalization exercise to improve and build new RESTful APIs. However, these enterprise clients want to display WSDL documentation in addition to RESTful API documentation.
