[jira] Commented: (AXIS-2096) Custom simpleType as attribute of an element causes problems when displaying deployed service's WSDL

["Daniel Kador (JIRA)" <ax...@ws.apache.org>]

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AXIS-2096?page=comments#action_12314802 ] 

Daniel Kador commented on AXIS-2096:
------------------------------------

I think I may have isolated why this occurs.  It appears that you can, in fact, create an attribute of a custom simpleType, but ONLY if it has some sort of enumeration (and probably if it has other such restrictions, i.e. on whitespace, length, etc.).  Since my schemas and examples do NOT have these additional restrictions, they don't work with Axis 1.2.1.  As soon as I added an enumeration to each simpleType, things worked with no problems.  As far as I know, having a simpleType with no enumeration or other facet is still legitimate for a schema, so I think this is a bug.

> If you create a WSDL similar to the one below in wrapped/literal style, you will not be able to create a complexType whose attribute is of a custom simpleType.  In the example below, the following error is listed when you try to view the deployed service's WSDL through the browser interface:
> AXIS error
> Sorry, something seems to have gone wrong... here are the details:
> Fault - Bean attribute testAttribute is of type org.apache.axis.types.NormalizedString, which is not a simple type

> I can fix the above error by changing the attribute type from "y:testAttribute" to "xs:normalizedString".  Is Axis designed to behave this way?  It's my understanding that XML allows for custom simpleTypes to be defined and then used as attributes, and the schemas I work with use this feature a good deal.  They validate with no problems in XMLSpy.  The WSDL I use in this example is posted below.
