Open a WSDL file. Select Simplified or Detailed from the View list in the top right corner of the editor.
In the Simplified view, the editor displays a WSDL portType as a list of operations with input and output parameters. The graphical representation is similar to the programmatic definition of an interface in languages such as Java or C++. In the following example, the BookSearch interface has a single operation, getBooks. The getBooks operation takes three input parameters of type string (title, author, and publisher) and returns BookList.
To examine the structure of the BookList type, click the arrow icon to the right of BookList. The XML schema editor opens and displays the BookList type structure.
public interface BookSearch { BookList getBooks(String title, String author, String publisher) throws InvalidInput; }
To examine the structure of an element, click the arrow icon to the right of the element. The XML schema editor opens and displays the element’s structure. If you examine the structure of the getBooks element, then three child elements of type string (title, author, and publisher) are displayed in the editor.
