WSDL Outline View

The Outline view for WSDL documents displays the list of all the components (services, bindings, port types and so on) of the currently open WSDL document along with the components of its imports.

If you use the Master Files support, the Outline view collects the components of a WSDL document starting from the master files of the current document.

By default, it is displayed on the left side of the editor. If the view is not displayed, it can be opened from the Window ⇒ Show View menu.

The Outline view can display both the components of the current document and its XML structure, organized in a tree-like fashion. You can switch between the display modes by using the Show XML structure and Show components actions in the View menu on the Outline view action bar. The following actions are available:

Filter returns exact matches

The text filter of the Outline view returns only exact matches.

Selection update on cursor move

Controls the synchronization between the Outline view and the current document. The selection in the Outline view can be synchronized with the cursor moves or the changes in the WSDL editor. Selecting one of the components from the Outline view also selects the corresponding item in the current document.

When the Show components option is selected, the following actions are available:

Show XML structure

Displays the XML structure of the current document in a tree-like manner.
