WSDL Content Viewer

The Interface viewer allows relatively easy navigation and inspection of the entire contract for an imported WSDL, including all imported and included WSDL and XSD files and their contained types, definitions, etc.

The navigation tree to the left shows contained elements in the contract, selecting a node will highlight that element in its containing file to the right, automatically switching tabs if necessary. Elements referring to other elements in the contract are also double clickable and will focus to the referenced element in the tree as follows;

Double-click onwill focus on (if available)
Global Elementits Complex Type
Message Partits Complex Type or Global Element
Operation input/outputits Message
Binding Operation input/outputits corresponding Operation input/output
Portits Binding Operation

The viewer toolbar has the following actions (left to right)

  • Back - navigates to the previously selected node
  • Forward - navigates to the next selected node (after navigating back..)
  • Update Definition - updates the WSDL contract as described under Updating the Interface Definition
  • Export WSDL - prompts to export the entire sadly and all imported and included files to a local folder. Import or Includes are replaced with valid relative ones.
