Automatically mapping XML elements

 The typical procedure is to create the XML elements and then map them to the fields. However, if you are creating a flat mapping, you can combine these steps into this simple process, which automatically maps XML elements:

1. Remove the fields that you do not want to map, or remove a mapping (as described in the following procedures).
2. Click the Generate Schema button on the Mapping dialog box.

To remove an existing field from the mapping list

1. Open the web service in Developer Studio.
2. View the mapping table under WSDL Ports > Port > WSDL Operations > Operation.
3. In the Form/Field column, highlight the field name you want to remove.
4. Press Backspace or Delete to remove the field name.
    The corresponding XML element is not removed.

To remove a mapping

1. Open the web service in Developer Studio.
2. View the mapping table under WSDL Ports > Port > WSDL Operations > Operation.
3. In the mapping table, right-click the mapping you want to remove.
    Each mapping is represented by a row in the table.
4. Click Remove Selected.
