| <h1 class="topictitle1">Setting a port type</h1> |
| <div><p>A port type is a named set of abstract operations and the abstract |
| messages involved. Each operation refers to an input message and output messages. |
| A port type is reference by a binding object. Each binding references exactly |
| one port type. Since each port refers to exactly one binding, each port has |
| exactly one port type.</p> |
| <div class="section"><p>You can create a port type by right clicking on the port types |
| group and selecting <span class="uicontrol">Add Child > portType</span> . As a convenience |
| you can also add a port type via a binding or port object. This allows you |
| to create a port type and modify the binding to reference to the new port |
| type in one action. You can either create a new port type for your binding, |
| re-use an existing one, or import one</p> |
