The Message Element

The Message element consists of one or more Part elements, which describe the content of a Message using element or type attributes. Message elements are always created as children of the Definitions element.

How to Create a Message Element

To create a Message element:
1. Select the Definitions (root) element.
2. Select Diagram > Add > Message from the Stylus Studio menu.

Alternative: Right-click the Definitions element and choose Add > Message from the shortcut menu.

Stylus Studio adds a Message element to the WSDL as a child of the Definitions element. The default name is Message-0, but you can change it. Message names must be unique within a WSDL document.

How to Rename a Message Element

To rename a Message element:
1. Double-click the Message element in the WSDL diagram.

The name becomes editable.

2. Type a new name and press enter.

Alternative: Using the Properties window

1. Display the Properties window if it is not already open. ( View > Properties).
2. Change the Message name in the Value field in the Properties window.

Alternative: You can change the Message name directly in the WSDL text.
