# Create an APIkit for SOAP Project

> For the full documentation index, see: https://docs.mulesoft.com/llms.txt

Create a Mule project from a WSDL so Anypoint Studio generates APIkit for SOAP flows and stores the
contract under `src/main/resources/api`. Meet the
[prerequisites for using APIkit for SOAP](https://docs.mulesoft.com/apikit/latest/apikit-4-soap-prerequisites-task) first. After you pick
the service and port, run the application and retrieve the published WSDL from the HTTP endpoint to
verify the service.

1.  In Anypoint Studio, from **File**, select **New** > **Mule Project**.

<table><tbody><tr><td><i data-value="1"></i><b>1</b></td><td>In <strong>Project Name</strong>, enter a name for the project.<br>For example, <code>soap-implementation</code>.</td></tr><tr><td><i data-value="2"></i><b>2</b></td><td>Select the Mule runtime engine version.<br>For example, <code>Mule Server 4.2.2 EE</code>.</td></tr><tr><td><i data-value="3"></i><b>3</b></td><td>In <strong>API Specification</strong>, select <strong>From Design Center or Local Files</strong>.</td></tr><tr><td><i data-value="4"></i><b>4</b></td><td>Select <strong>Browse files</strong> from the <strong>More actions</strong> menu.</td></tr></tbody></table>

2.  Select a service and port. For this example, accept the default values, `TshirtService` and
    `TshirtServicePort`.

    ![API specification window that highlights the service and the port from the menu](/mulesoft/current/en-us/apikit/latest/_images/create-apikit-soap-project.png)

3.  Click **Finish**.

    The new project appears with the WSDL file in the `src/main/resources/api` folder.

4.  Right-click a blank area of the canvas and select **Run Project**.

5.  In your SOAP UI client, go to `http://localhost:8081/TshirtService/TshirtServicePort?wsdl`.

    The SOAP service returns the content of your WSDL file.

If you update your WSDL file, regenerate your flows by right-clicking your WSDL file and selecting
**Mule** > **Generate Flows From WSDL**.
