The Input Element

Within an Operation element, the Input element is the message that is sent to the Web service from the client. (The Output element is the message returned to the client in request-response Operations.) An Operation may have only one Input element.

See The Operation Element for more information.

How to Create an Input Element

To create an Input element:
1. Select the Operation element whose Input element you want to describe.
2. Select Diagram > Add > Input from the Stylus Studio menu.

Alternative: Right-click the Operation element and choose Add > Input from the shortcut menu.

Stylus Studio adds an Input element to the WSDL as a child of the Operation element. The default name is Input, and you cannot change it.
