using XML Schemas with SOAP
Hi:
I've been able to deploy my service which accepts an object as a parameter.
Now I want to relay that information to my client by providing them with a
descriptor of some sort. From the docs I know Apache SOAP (which I am
using) cannot use WSDL. But I would at least like to describe the structure
of the parameter, so I was thinking XML Schema.
But I can't seem to find any examples of using an XML Schema with the
Apache SOAP API's. If I were the client, how do I specify that the object
I'm passing should conform to a particular xml schema? I assume a SOAP
payload can use XML Schema, but how can I use it through the Apache code?
Or am I totally off on this concept?
Any guidance would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Bryan

The client doesn't specify such a thing. The service typically describes its
interface with WSDL, and its up to the client to conform.
Are you aware of Apache Axis? It is the follow-on to Apache SOAP, and it
does support WSDL. Apache SOAP doesn't appear to have been updated for
almost a year.
Apache Axis has a WSDL2Java utility. You can use it to automatically create
a skeleton implementation of a web service from the WSDL, as well as the
client. You're probably aware of this, but just for completeness, you can
incorporate your schema into the WSDL, and then use WSDL2Java to create the
skeleton. We've got a step-by-step for the process here:
