possible Java2WSDL problem with doc/lit services?

[Andrew Vardeman <an...@iastate.edu>]

Hello.

I access my doc/lit service with the ?wsdl suffix to get WSDL for it.  Then 
I try to use this WSDL to generate a .NET client.  I run into two 
problems.  First, MS's Wsdl tool complains that it can't find an element 
referenced in the WSDL's SoapBinding:

Error: Unable to import binding 'PsuServerSoapBinding' from namespace 
'http://localhost:8000/psuServer/services/PsuServer/psuServer/services/PsuServer'.
   - Unable to import operation 'process'.
   - The element 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/:elems' is missing.

I'm guessing this is MS's fault; the tool seems to expect the value of the 
"element" attribute in a part element to be namespace qualified, like this:

<message name="processRequest">
   <part element="tns1:elems" name="elems"/>
</message>

and Axis leaves off that "tns1:"

The second problem is that, according to the Wsdl tool, SOAP Arrays are 
only allowed in encoded SOAP.  I get this complaint:

Error: Unable to import binding 'PsuServerSoapBinding' from namespace 
'http://localhost:8000/psuServer/services/PsuServer/psuServer/services/PsuServer'.
   - Unable to import operation 'process'.
   - Referenced type 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/:Array' 
valid only for encoded SOAP.

If this is true, seems like an Axis problem.

Below is the original WSDL, followed by the hacked-up version that worked 
with Wsdl.exe:

Anyone know which toolkit is actually the problem for either of these problems?

Thanks,
