   2. View and interpret profiling results
7. URL syntax for calling a Web service on a Domino server
8. Understand WSDL in the context of Domino Web services
   1. Know about the "Warn if the WSDL interface is modified" option, and what impact a modified WSDL file can have
   2. Understand what changes to a Domino Web Service will cause the WSDL for that service to be modified
   3. Access a WSDL file via a web browser
   4. Access a WSDL file in Domino Designer
   5. Import a WSDL file into Domino Designer
   6. Export a WSDL file from Domino Designer
