CASA can not use the mechanism from the "WSDL/XSD change management systemic quality" initiative to reference WSDLs in 
other projects.

This means that one can not just add a concrete port in CASA to an abstract (or concrete) WSDL in a referenced project 
such as BPEL, but one has to copy the WSDL.

This creates a nightmare in terms of WSDL change management; it must be possible to add a concrete port in CASA and 
just to reference the abstract WSDL of the service we want to create a port for.

The work-flow to add these ports and to reference WSDLs rather than to copy them must be intuitive and simple, it 
should work via drag and drop and guidance in wizards. It should not require manual actions in the WSDL editor or 
project properties.
