Adding a wildcard attribute

This topic describes how to add an wildcard attribute to a message, complex type or complex element.
To complete the tasks in this topic area, you must have completed the following tasks:

You can add a wildcard attribute to a message, complex type or complex element. This task assumes that you have previously added the relevant message, complex type or complex element to your message model.

To add a wildcard attribute to a message, complex type or complex element:

  1. Switch to the Enterprise Service Tools perspective.

  2. Ensure that the Outline view is visible in the Enterprise Service Tools perspective of the workbench. If the Outline view is not visible, from the workbench menu, click Window > Show View > Outline.
    Note: You can also perform this procedure by selecting a message model object (message, complex type or complex element) in the flow message editor.
  3. In the Outline view, right-click the object (message, complex type or complex element) to which you are adding the wildcard attribute then click Add Wildcard Attribute on the pop-up menu. A wildcard attribute of type string is immediately added to the message model object and is assigned a default name.

  4. Either type a new name for the wildcard attribute or press Enter to accept the default.

You can now configure the local element to your exact requirements. For further information on configuring message model objects see Configuring message model objects.
