WSDL Documentation Display

WSDL Web extracts and displays <wsdl:documentation> elements from WSDL files, showing human-readable descriptions inline alongside services and operations.

What's displayed

Documentation is extracted from these WSDL elements:

• Services — shown in the service header below the service name
• Port types / interfaces — shown in the interface description
• Operations — shown at the top of the expanded operation detail view

WSDL 1.1 example

<service name="StockQuoteService">
  <documentation>Provides real-time stock quote information.</documentation>
  ...
</service>

<portType name="StockQuotePortType">
  <operation name="GetLastTradePrice">
    <documentation>Returns the last recorded trade price for a given ticker symbol.</documentation>
    ...
  </operation>
</portType>

WSDL 2.0 example

<service name="WeatherService">
  <documentation>Provides weather forecasts and current conditions.</documentation>
  ...
</service>

<interface name="WeatherInterface">
  <operation name="GetWeather">
    <documentation>Returns current weather conditions for a given city and country.</documentation>
    ...
  </operation>
</interface>

Notes

• If no <documentation> element is present, nothing is shown — the UI adapts gracefully.
• Both WSDL 1.1 and 2.0 documentation elements are supported.
