Service Definition (WSDL)
WSDL is an XML format for describing network services as a set of endpoints operating on messages containing either document-oriented or procedure-oriented information.
The operations and messages are described abstractly, and then bound to a concrete network protocol and message format to define an endpoint. Related concrete endpoints are combined into abstract endpoints (services).

Main Web Service Methods
-
SendDocument– used for uploading a document or file to ShipServ. This method provides a real-time response to confirm that the document was successfully received by ShipServ;
-
CountRemaining– used for checking the number of documents waiting to be received from ShipServ (the system should call this function on a regular cycle, e.g. every 5 minutes, to check for new documents).
-
GetDocument – used for downloading the next (oldest) document from ShipServ.
To support classified attachments, line attachments and increase in attachment size limit new methods are created.
-
GetDocumentWithClassifiedAttachment- used for downloading the next (oldest) document from ShipServ. This will return classified attachments, and line attachments if available.
-
SendDocumentWithClassifiedAttachment- used for uploading a document or file to ShipServ with classified attachments, and line attachments.
The attachments are not embedded as base64 encoded string in the response.
