56 <h2>About Editing WSDL Files</h2>
57 <p><small><a href="#seealso">See Also</a></small></p>
59 <p>The WSDL Editor enables you to edit Web Services Description Language (WSDL) files.</p>
61 <p>WSDL is an XML-based language for describing web services.
62 A WSDL file contains the following types of information:</p>
65 <li>Information about the functionality of the web service</li>
66 <li>Information about how to access the web service</li>
69 <p>The WSDL Editor supports version 1.1 of the WSDL specification.</p>
72 <p>In a BPEL Module project, you use WSDL files to define the interfaces for business processes and their partner services.</p>
75 <p>The WSDL Editor provides the following views:</p>
78 <li>In the <a href="wsdl_editor_source.html">Source view</a>, the underlying XML source code appears.</li>
79 <li>In the <a href="wsdl_editor_views.html">WSDL view</a>, the WSDL file appears as a tree component or a series of columns.</li>
80 <li>In the <a href="wsdl_editor_partner.html">Partner view</a>, you can visualize and configure the abstract elements in a WSDL file.</li>
83 <p>To create a WSDL file, you use a wizard. You must choose one of the following approaches:</p>
86 <li>Create a WSDL file <a href="wsdl_editor_creating.html">from scratch</a></li>
87 <li>Create a WSDL file based on an <a href="wsdl_editor_creating_existing.html">existing WSDL file</a></li>
