Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Search for | Example | Results |
---|---|---|
A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Search for | Operator | Example |
---|---|---|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
Either word in a topic |
|
|
Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

- Web Services description language (WSDL)
WSDL document structure
A WSDL document is simply a set of definitions. There is a definitions element at the root and definitions inside. A WSDL document defines services as collections of network endpoints or ports. In a WSDL document, the abstract definition of endpoints and messages is separated from their concrete network deployment or data format bindings. This allows the reuse of abstract definitions: messages, which are abstract descriptions of the data being exchanged, and port types which are abstract collections of operations. The concrete protocol and data format specifications for a particular port type constitutes a reusable binding. A port is defined by associating a network address with a reusable binding. A collection of ports defines a service.
A WSDL document uses the following elements in the definition of network services:
- Types: a container for data type definitions using some type system (such as XSD).
- Message: an abstract, typed definition of the data being communicated.
- Operation: an abstract description of an action supported by the service.
- Port Type: an abstract set of operations supported by one or more endpoints.
- Binding: a concrete protocol and data format specification for a particular port type.
- Port: a single endpoint defined as a combination of a binding and a network address.
- Service: a collection of related endpoints.
