Axis 1.1 WSDL checking too strict?

           Summary: Axis 1.1 WSDL checking too strict?
           Product: Axis
           Version: 1.1beta
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Other
            Status: NEW
          Severity: Major
          Priority: Other
         Component: Basic Architecture
        AssignedTo: axis-dev@xml.apache.org
        ReportedBy: jasnell@us.ibm.com


Hmm.. I'm wondering if the WSDL checking in the Axis
org.apache.axis.client.Service initService(...) method is becoming too
strict...

Given the perfectly valid schema (taken from one of IBM's Web Services
Toolkit demos), I'm getting an error [2].  The schema is referenced from a
WSDL file used to initialize a Service object.

In one test, I modified the schema to include an <import namespace="
http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#" /> to see if that would clear up the
problem and it does not.

IMHO, Axis should not die if it cannot find a schema definition for a
referenced type that is not part of the targetNamespace.  If Axis cannot
find the definition for the referenced type, then it should treat it as a
generic MessageElement without explicit type information.
