<title>Setting a binding</title>
<shortdesc>A binding is a top level WSDL object that provides a concrete specification
regarding the transmission of messages to and from a web service. A binding
references exactly one port type. The structure of a binding corresponds very
closely to that of the port type. The binding contains extensibility elements
(for example, soap, http, and mime) that specify protocol specific details.
Each port within a service references exactly one binding.</shortdesc>
