Definition of Target namespace in WSDL file

Hi all experts,
Recently I have been studying WSDL in details. As I proceed, I found myself having trouble with understanding the "target namespace" concept in WSDL <definition> tag. Could you offer some enlightment on that?
Much appreciated!

Namespace allows you to import other wsdl files, and not have to worry about tag names clashing. If you didn't use a name space than you would have to check, somehow, that any other wsdl which was used didn't have tags with the same name(s).

Target is where the web service lives.

Target namespace is a way of ensuring that your taget tag doesn't clash with anything else in your wsdl.

Please ignore post, I have no idea what I am talking about.

Hi William,
Finally I got to understand that with your help!

Thanks a lot!

Cheers,
 
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
