WSDL Document

A WSDL Document encapsulates a Web Service defined within the «WSDLnamespace» stereotyped Package, and is the source from which the WSDL file is generated. It is represented by a «WSDL» stereotyped Component element as a direct child element of the «WSDLnamespace» stereotyped Package. You can have multiple WSDL Documents under a single WSDL Namespace, to reuse and expose the WSDL Services for that namespace across multiple WSDLs.

One «WSDL» stereotyped Component element is automatically created when you create the Namespace Package structure. You can add further WSDL elements by dragging the WSDL icon from the WSDL Toolbox and dropping it directly onto the namespace Overview diagram.

Access

To display the 'WSDL Document Properties' dialog for the selected «WSDL» stereotyped Component, use one of the methods outlined here.

Ribbon	Design > Element > Properties > Properties
Context Menu	Right-click on «WSDL» stereotyped Component \| Properties
Keyboard Shortcuts	Alt+Enter
Other	Double-click on a «WSDL» stereotyped Component, or Drag icon from the toolbox and drop directly onto the Overview diagram, under the «WSDLnamespace» stereotyped Package in the WSDL Package structure. (This creates a new WSDL Document, represented by a «WSDL» stereotyped Component.)
