Even though I’m not a fan of WSDL, I like this very much:

WSDL is a key technology for SOA, and yet creating and editing these files is about as much fun as straightening all the noodles in a bowl of spaghetti with a pair of tweezers.

Relax-ws provides a simple, compact syntax for generating WSDL’s. It does this by extending RelaxNG Compact syntax with support for services, ports, operations, and messages.
