Jay,

Thanks for the links, I'll take a look at them.

Actually, I was looking for something that formats the
WSDL so the datatype definition section resembles more
a classical datatype definition. The graphical view of
the Eclipse WSDL editor is a good example (a little
tree view with pretty-looking boxes and arrows).
Unfortunately it doesn't have a "print" option, or an
"export to PDF" option.

... that I know of, of course! :-)

Thanks,

Hernan
