If you are familiar with WSDL, then the Source editor provides a powerful way of
manually editing WSDL documents. If you prefer editing WSDL files graphically,
then the WSDL view provides both a hierarchical tree view and a column based
view of the WSDL file.
Hierarchical Tree Based View
Column Based View

Clicking on any of the top level elements in the WSDL file (Types, Import, Messages,
Port Types, Bindings, Services, Extensibility Elements) displays a popup-menu
from which new entities can be added into the WSDL document. For example, to add
a new port type into the WSDL document is simply a matter of right-clicking on Port
Types in either the tree or column views and selecting the Add Port Type... menu
option. This then displays a dialog similar to the Abstract Configuration page within
the New WSDL Document wizard allowing all of the details of the new port type to
be specified.

The final view in the WSDL editor is the Partner view. This view allows messages
and the interactions between different partners to be graphically modeled. From
within this view, we can add new operations by right-clicking on a port type within
a partner view and selecting the New operation... menu option. All operations are
displayed in the partner view window in a UML style showing the external partner,
the operations that are available and the port type supporting the operations.
