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 Main Files support, the Outline view collects the components of a WSDL document starting from the main 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 by selecting it 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.
Sort: Sorts the components in the Outline view alphabetically.
Show all components: Displays all the components that were collected starting from current document or from the main document, if it is defined.
Show referable components: Displays all the components that you can reference from the current document.
Show only local components: Displays the components defined in the current file only.
Group by location: Groups the WSDL components by their location.
Group by type: Groups the WSDL components by their type.
Group by namespace: Groups the WSDL components by their namespace.
Note: By default, all the three grouping criteria are active.

When the

Show XML structure option is selected, the following actions are available:

Show components: Switches the Outline view to the components display mode.
Flat presentation mode of the filtered results: When active, the application flattens the filtered result elements to a single level.
Show comments and processing instructions: Show/hide comments and processing instructions in the Outline view.
Show element name: Show/hide element name.
Show text: Show/hide additional text content for the displayed elements.
Show attributes: Show/hide attribute values for the displayed elements. The displayed attribute values can be changed from the Outline preferences panel.
Configure displayed attributes: Displays the XML Structured Outline preferences page.

If no wildcards are specified, the string to search is used as a partial match.
