Service interface re-import	New	If you have an already imported service definition, if it is modified afterwards, you may want these changes to take effect in the model of your application. For that purpose you can use the automatic re-import feature. For more information, see Reimporting Modified WSDL and XSD Files .
Service Interface Editor	New	The Service Interface Editor (SIE) allows you to model and manage local WSDL and XSD files in a convenient and simple manner. The SIE avoids the complexity of customizing a back-end service by the standard interface editors and does not require profound Web service development knowledge. If you are an advanced user, you can edit the WSDL source code. As part of the SIE, you use the Data Types Editor (DTE) to create and edit data objects in the XSD file of the Web service. For more information, see Modeling Services with the Service Interface Editor .
