Not showing my custom api in wsdl(url) and web service list?

Question

I have created Api in my module, when I accessing through coding it is working fine, but in url (wsdl format) & web services list (Back-End) are not showing. If I give my custom Api to others, it should be in web services list because we will provide permissions for that. So, how can I configure the custom api in wsdl & web service list?

my code is:

local->Course->Mca->etc->api.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
 <api>
 <resources>
 <mca translate="title" module="mca">
 <model>mca/api</model>
 <title>MCA Student Resources</title>
 <methods>
 <create translate="title" module="mca">
 </create>
 </methods>
 <faults module="mca"><!-- module="mca" specifies the module which will be used for translation. -->
 <data_invalid> <!-- if we get invalid input data for customers -->
 <code>100</code >
 <!-- we cannot know all the errors that can appear, their details can be found in error message for call -->
 <message>Invalid Student data. Details in error message.</message>
 </data_invalid>
 </faults>
 </mca>
 </resources>
 </api>
</config>

local->Course->Mca->Model->Api.php

<?php
class Course_Mca_Model_Api extends Mage_Api_Model_Resource_Abstract
{
 public function create($stuData)
 {
 return $stuData . ' My Custom Student Message';
 }
 public function info($stuId)
 {
 }
 public function items($filters)
 {
 }
 public function update($stuId, $stuData)
 {
 }
 public function delete($stuId)
 {
 }
}

thanks in advance.

• sebastianwagner: Did you create an wsdl.xml in your Moules etc directory?

Answer 1

To allow access to your api via the roles section on the of the "web services" section you will need to update your code to include the <acl> node in-between api and resources.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
 <api>
 <acl>
 <resources>
 <mca translate="title" module="mca">
 <model>mca/api</model>
 <title>MCA Student Resources</title>
 <methods>
 <create translate="title" module="mca">
 </create>
 </methods>
 <faults module="mca"><!-- module="mca" specifies the module which will be used for translation. -->
 <data_invalid> <!-- if we get invalid input data for customers -->
 <code>100</code >
 <!-- we cannot know all the errors that can appear, their details can be found in error message for call -->
 <message>Invalid Student data. Details in error message.</message>
 </data_invalid>
 </faults>
 </mca>
 </resources>
 </acl>
 </api>
</config> 

• Manoj Kumar: I have updated my code, but it is not showing in web service list & wsdl(format).
• David Manners: how do you get this list of web services? the above code will allow you to give this as a role under "SOAP/XML-RPC - Roles"

Create a file calles app/code/local/Course/Mca/etc/wsdl.xml and compare its contents with one of those in core.

find app/code/core/Mage -iname 'wsdl.xml'
