Contract¶

This page documents the contract of SAIFFaxService as the WSDL declares it. It is the page a reader uses to answer "what can this service be asked to do, and in what shape".

Field	Value
Service	`SAIFFaxService` (`FaxService` ASMX class)
WSDL document	`Services/SAIF.Services.Web.Proxies/Service References/Fax/faxservice.wsdl`
SOAP namespace	`http://www.saif.com/`
Port type / binding name	`FaxServiceSoap`
Binding	SOAP 1.1 (`FaxServiceSoap`) and SOAP 1.2 (`FaxServiceSoap12`) both declared
Encoding style	Document / Literal
Parameter style	Wrapped
Operations declared	1

Contract source¶

The authoritative source for this contract is the captured WSDL: Services/SAIF.Services.Web.Proxies/Service References/Fax/faxservice.wsdl. Reference.cs is generated tool output and is used only to confirm the type name and base type already stated in the WSDL.

Operations¶

Operation	SOAP action	Input message	Output message	Faults	Called in this repository
`Send`	`http://www.saif.com/Send`	`FaxJob: FaxInfo` (optional)	empty (`SendResponse`)	None declared	Yes — details

Messages and types¶

Type	Kind	Members	Used by
`FaxInfo`	Complex type	`Attachment`, `CoverSheetNote`, `ToCompanyName`, `ToFaxNumber`, `ToName`, `ToVoiceNumber` (all `string`, all optional)	`Send`

FaxInfo¶

Member	Type	Required	Purpose
`Attachment`	`string`	No	A path to the document content; the call site passes a UNC-style temp-folder path rather than binary content, which suggests the remote service reads the file from that path*
`CoverSheetNote`	`string`	No	Not set by this repository's call site
`ToCompanyName`	`string`	No	Not set by this repository's call site
`ToFaxNumber`	`string`	No	The recipient's fax number
`ToName`	`string`	No	The recipient's name
`ToVoiceNumber`	`string`	No	Not set by this repository's call site

Faults¶

The WSDL declares no faults. A failure reaches this repository as a generic SOAP fault surfaced by the proxy; see Consumption for how the call sites handle it.

Binding details¶

Aspect	Value
Transport	HTTP
Message version	SOAP 1.1 (as configured; SOAP 1.2 is also declared)
Security mode	None declared in the WSDL — set in code as `TransportCredentialOnly`, see Architecture
Declared message size limits	None declared in the WSDL

Contract drift risk¶

Aspect	Finding
WSDL captured at	Not determined from source
Live service documented by this run	No
Verification possible	No — the remote `SAIFFaxService` is outside this run's scope and its live contract cannot be compared
Consequence of drift	A remote change to `Send` would not be detected until a fax delivery fails at runtime

Note: Statements marked with * were inferred from code structure or contextual evidence.
