| A
Port Type in WSDL is a set of related
operations. Operations are like function
calls. They have operation names and parameters: The parameters
are input and output messages.
Sample Operations:
createEmployee(xxx)
deleteEmployee(yyy)
Thus, the port type is a means of bundling several operations
together so that they may be treated as a single unit.

Sample Port
Type:
Employee
> CreateEmployee(xxx)
> DeleteEmployee(yyy)
Employee
(Employee is the port type)
A Port Type is then ‘bound’ to a service provider
by relating it to a binding. This allows
one to provide the a single statement to define the binding for
many operations rather than having to bind each operation individually.
