WSDL projects are used to convert SOAP-based APIs to RESTful APIs. This option allows to add a proxy project with an existing WSDL service.
Adding the Project
To add a WSDL Project, click the From WSDL option under Add API Project.

| Proxy Context Path | A text used to combine with the version number to act as an identifier to map with a particular deployed project. The proxy resolves context path mappings prior to applying any matching policies (explained in subsequent topics). |
