<h1 class="topictitle1">Creating an import statement</h1>
<div><p>The import statement is used to import other WSDL documents or
XML schemas into your WSDL document. This enables you to have more modular
WSDL documents. The use of the <strong>import</strong> statement allows the separation
of the different elements of a service definition into independent documents,
which can then be imported as needed. This technique helps in writing clearer
service definitions, by separating the definitions according to their level
of abstraction.</p>
<div class="section"><p>To create an import statement, follow these steps:</p>
</div>
<ol>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Outline view, right-click the <strong>Imports</strong> folder and
click <strong>Add Import.</strong> Select your new import statement.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>In the Properties view, click the <strong>General</strong> pane.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Click the icon to the right of the <strong>Location</strong> field.</span>
A "Select file" window opens.</li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Select the WSDL file or XML Schema file you wish to import. Click <strong>OK</strong>.</span></li>
<li class="stepexpand"><span>Type any information about the import statement you wish the user
to read in the <strong>Documentation</strong> pane.</span></li>
</ol>
<div class="section">Once you specify the location of the document you wish to import,
the import object's label changes to reflect the specified location. Imported
WSDL components may now be visible within the editor.</div>
