Declaring Discovery Types in WSDLSolutions built on DPWS often define portTypes implemented by Hosted Services, and a discovery-layerportType implemented by the Host Service so the presence of these functional services can bedetermined at the discovery layer. The binding between a service-layer type and its discovery-layer typecan be defined purely in descriptive text, but this appendix provides an optional mechanism to declare adiscovery-layer type inside WSDL that can be consumed and understood by tools.This appendix defines an @dpws:DiscoveryType attribute to annotate the WSDL 1.1 portType [WSDL1.1] for the service-layer type. The normative outline for @dpws:DiscoveryType is:[…]*The following describes additional, normative constraints to the outline listed above:/wsdl:definitions/wsdl:portType/@dpws:DiscoveryTypeThe name of the portType to be advertised by the Host Service to indicate that this devicesupports the annotated Hosted Service portType.If omitted, no implied valueThis mechanism is only suitable in cases where a functional service type is bound to a single discoverylayertype, and authors of more complex type topologies may express the relationship between serviceand discovery types through normative text or through other means.Example usage follows.
