## Interface Viewer

The Interface viewer allows relatively easy navigation/inspection of the entire contract for an imported WSDL, including all imported/included wsdl/xsd files and their contained types, definitions, etc.

The navigation tree to the left shows contained elements in the contract, selecting a node will highlight that element in its containing file to the right, automatically switching tabs if neccessary. Elements referring to other elements in the contract are also double-clickable and will focus to the referenced element in the tree as follows;

Double-click on | will focus on (if available)
--- | ---
Global Element | its Complex Type
Message Part | its Complex Type or Global Element
Operation input/output | its Message
Binding Operation input/output | its corresponding Operation input/output
Port | its Binding Operation

The viewer toolbar has the following actions (left to right)

- Back - navigates to the previously selected node
- Forward - navigates to the next selected node (after navigating back..)
- Update Definition - updates the wsdl-contract as described under Updating the Interface Definition
- Export WSDL - prompts to export the entire wsdl and all imported/included files to a local folder. Import/Includes are replaced with valid relative ones.
