| <title>Editing WSDL files with the WSDL Editor</title> |

| <searchtitle>Editing WSDL files with the WSDL editor</searchtitle> |
| </titlealts> |
| <shortdesc>The WSDL editor allows you to easily and graphically create, modify, |
| view, and validate WSDL files.</shortdesc> |
| <conbody> |
| <p>Using the WSDL editor, you can do the following:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Create new WSDL files</li> |
| <li>Validate and edit WSDL files</li> |
| <li>Create and delete: <ul> |
| <li>services, which are used to aggregate a set of related ports. These are |
| the root elements of all WSDL files.</li> |
| <li>ports, which specify an address for a binding, thus defining a single |
| communication endpoint.</li> |
| <li>bindings, which specify concrete protocol and data format specifications |
| for the operations and messages defined by a particular port type.</li> |
| <li>port types, which are a set of abstract operations. Each operation refers |
| to an input message and output messages.</li> |
| <li>operations, which refer to input and output messages</li> |
| <li>messages, which represent an abstract definition of the data being transmitted. |
| A message consists of logical parts, each of which is associated with a definition |
| within some type system.</li> |
| <li>parts, which are a flexible mechanism for describing the logical abstract |
| content of a message</li> |
| <li>types, which describe all the data types used between the client and server. |
| WSDL is not tied exclusively to a specific typing system, but it uses the |
| W3C XML Schema specification as its default choice.</li> |
| <li>import statements, which are used to associate a namespace with a document |
| location </li> |
| </ul></li> |
| <li>Import existing WSDL files for structured viewing</li> |
| <li>Generate documentation from a WSDL document.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>The WSDL support in the WSDL editor is based on the W3C <xref format="html" |
| href="http://www.w3.org/TR/wsdl" scope="external">Web Services Description |
| Language (WSDL) 1.1</xref>. The WSDL specification from the W3C Web site is |
| also used for validation. </p> |
