When using the wizards/toolkits what happens is the wizard reads the WSDL 
(not WDSL) file to get information about your web service, including how 
to call it (the protocol to use) and what parameters to pass it.  It needs 
that information in order to generate the SOAP messages.

So yes, you'd create the WSDL document first, because that'd be needed to 
generate the SOAP messages.

But if you're doing it manually, you could do it either way, since it's 
you doing the work :)
