Diagram Properties - WSDL Details

 

The WSDL Editor is available only in Stylus Studio XML Enterprise Suite.

You use the WSDL Details page of the Diagram Properties dialog box to specify which properties of a WSDL document's nodes you want to display in the Diagram tab of the WSDL Editor. For each type of node (message, binding, and so on) and for a node's individual properties (name, type, and so on), you use the Inline visibility in diagram settings to

  • Show the property and its value
  • Show the property only if it is not empty (that is, undefined)
  • Hide the node's properties

In order to streamline presentation of the WSDL in the diagram, most properties are hidden by default.

Note

 

You set node display properties for XML Schema elements separately, using the Schema Details page.

Example

By default, Name, Binding, Address Type, and Address properties are shown for all port elements, as shown in the following illustration. Notice that even properties that do not have a value defined for them are displayed:

Figure 518. Show all properties

Show if not empty setting. Only those values for the port element that have been explicitly set are displayed in the diagram. (In this example, notice that the Address property is no longer displayed.)

Figure 519. Show if not empty setting

Hide setting. If you choose this setting, none of the element's properties is displayed in the diagram.

Fields

Category/Property

The node and, optionally, properties whose inline visibility settings you want to change.

Inline visibility in diagram

The conditions under which you want to display a property and its values in the WSDL diagram. Inline visibility options are:

  • Hide - The property and its value are always hidden. This is the default for most elements.
  • Show - The property and its value are always displayed, even if the property does not have a value.
  • Show if not empty - The property and its value are displayed only if the property has a value. Properties with a default value ( maxOccurs="1", for example) and properties for which no value has been explicitly set do not appear using this setting.

Tip

 

If all of a node's properties have the same show/hide setting (all are set to Hide, for example), that value is displayed in the Inline Visibility in Diagram field. If no value is displayed in the Inline Visibility in Diagram field, it means that two or more properties have different show/hide settings.

Permanently Setting Display Properties

You can permanently set WSDL diagram properties using the Options dialog box. See Options - Module Settings - WSDL Editor - WSDL Details.
