Generating an XML Schema from WSDL
Hello !
Could anyone tell me if/how I can generate a W3C XML Schema from a WSDL that
I have produced ?
I want to put everying from the messages down into the types/schema (not the
port, binding or service stuff).
I use XML Spy as my XML editor, into which I have loaded the my WSDL without
error, & tried to use the 'Generate DTD/Schema' facility therein; many
errors ensue, requiring the removal of the namespace prefixes within the
WSDL, ultimitely leading to a 'nonsense' looking schema.
Thanks,
Tim
Re: Generating an XML Schema from WSDL
Posted by remko de knikker <re...@yale.edu>.
I am using the <WsdlInputSchema> tag in the wsdd file:
eg.
<parameter name="wsdlInputSchema" value="your_url/your_schema.xsd"/>
This will include the schema in the generated wsdl from the ?wsdl-query.
I just haven't figured out how to include both input and output schema's.
Does anyone know?

Make sure you're using the latest build. (but I suspect you can't download
that either...)
Axis's ability to generate complex Schema definitions is somewhat limited.
That's why I recommend using WASP.

Thank you for your response.
I am in fact using rpc, my WSDL reflects that & I have been doing as you
suggest, ie "take
that type information from the <part> definition and recontruct it as an XML
Schema <simpleType> or <complexType> definition".
I guess I had been hoping for a more automated method of producing the
schema.
I am currently on an internet link that will not take a download of WASP,
but taking a hint from you I thought I might re-do the AXIS 'javaToWSDL',
but this time use the '-y' option (ie: "-y document") to try to produce a
'document' flavoured WSDL with everything I need defined within the <schema>
section.
This however appears to produce the exact same wsdl as when I supply "-y
rpc".
The full command:
java org.apache.axis.wsdl.Java2WSDL -y document -o
C:\Telia\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\classes\net\cp\applicatio
n\memum\MeMUMSubscriptionChangeServiceDoc.wsdl -l
"http://localhost:9249/axis/services/MeMUMSubscriptionChangeService" -n
"urn:MeMUMSubscriptionChangeService" -p"net.cp.application.memum"
"urn:MeMUMSubscriptionChangeService"
net.cp.application.memum.MeMUMSubscriptionChange
Any view on my use of this '-y' option ?
Thanks,
Tim

If you're using document/literal, then all of your elements should be
defined in the <types> section already, which is defined using XML Schema.
You can simply extract the <schema> section.
If you're using rpc/encoded or rpc/literal, then either you've defined the
type information in the <message> structure, or you've defined the type
information in the <types> section. If the former, then you need to take
that type information from the <part> definition and recontruct it as an XML
Schema <simpleType> or <complexType> definition. In either case you haven't
defined the element structure, so you also need to define that.
I don't know of a tool that will automatically generate an XML Schema from a
WSDL description.
I do suggest using Systinet WASP's java2wsdl tool (included with WASP Server
or WASP Developer -- both free for development purposes) to generate
doc/literal WSDL files from your Java code -- you can specify that you want
it to generate a full schema for you.

Anne
