<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 &gt; 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>
