WSDL Referenced/Dependent Resources View in WSDL Documents

The Referenced/Dependent Resources view displays the hierarchy or dependencies for a WSDL resource. If the view is not displayed, it can be opened by selecting it from the Window > Show View menu.

Note: The hierarchy of a WSDL resource includes the hierarchy of imported XML Schema resources. The dependencies of an XML Schema resource present the WSDL documents that import the schema.

To view the references or dependencies of a WSDL document, select the document in the Project view and choose Show referenced resources or Show dependent resources from the contextual menu.

The following actions are available on the toolbar of the Referenced/Dependent Resources view:

Refresh: Refreshes the resource structure.
Stop: Stops the computing.
Show hierarchy for: Computes the hierarchical structure of the references for a resource.
Show dependencies for: Computes the structure of the dependencies for a resource.
Configure dependencies search scope: Allows you to configure a scope to compute the dependencies. There is also an option for automatically using the defined scope for future operations.
History: Provides access to the list of previously computed dependencies. Use the Clear history button to remove all items from this list.

The contextual menu for a resource listed in the Referenced/Dependent Resources view contains the following actions:

Go to reference: Opens the source document where the resource is referenced.
Copy location: Copies the location of the resource.
Move resource: Moves the selected resource.

Collapse All: Collapses all children of the selected resource from the hierarchical structure.

Tip: When a recursive reference is encountered in the view, the reference is marked with a special icon

Note: The Move resource or Rename resource actions give you the option to update the references to the resource.
