The WSDL file for MCS is stored on the server hosting the Provisioning
Module. You can view and download the WSDL using a web browser.
Note: By definition, all the OPI commands (methods) are listed in
the WSDL.

Generate stubs
The stub is basically a translator. It takes the “user” object (whatever
type of object) from the interface and converts it to a SOAP message
and sends it to the Provisioning Module. Likewise, a SOAP message
from the Provisioning Module is translated back to the object. HTTP is
used as the transport for OPI. The Provisioning Module listens on port
80 for the SOAP over HTTP messages.
Figure 2 Interactions of the stub
Stubs are generated using a supported toolset. Currently, only the
Apache AXIS 1.0 (Apache extensible Interaction System
http://ws.apache.org/axis) toolset has been tested and approved. AXIS
is Java specific and creates a Java stub. The OPI WSDL may work with
other toolsets, but thorough testing has not yet been completed. Other
