How to use a xml-schema within a service

[Da...@sinnerschrader.com]

Hi,

i have a service which offers a client to get categories and products of a
catalog.
I created a xml schema file catalog.xsd where I defined how a category, a
product or the catalog list looks like.
I thouht it shold be the definition how these elements look in the SOAP
response.

And thats the point where I have no ideas how to get the xsd within the
services, so that the the
response wolud be in the way like I want.

this is a response from the service which is not correct:

HTTP/1.0 200 OK
Server: Resin/2.0.3
Set-Cookie: JSESSIONID=aaaaOmLgsCZkM-; Path=/
Content-Type: text/xml; charset=utf-8
Content-Length: XXXX
Date: Thu, 08 Nov 2001 14:14:17 GMT

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV
="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:xsi
="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd
="http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema">
<SOAP-ENV:Body>
<ns1:getCategoryResponse xmlns:ns1="urn:pShopCatalogService"
SOAP-ENV:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/">

<return xmlns:ns2="urn:xml-soap-pShop-webservices" xsi:type="ns2:pshop">
<noOfProducts xsi:type="xsd:int">1319</noOfProducts>
<name xsi:type="xsd:string">Autos</name>
<subCategories xmlns:ns3="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xsi:type="ns3:Array" ns3:arrayType="ns2:pshop[5]">
     <item xsi:type="ns2:pshop">
          <noOfProducts xsi:type="xsd:int">228</noOfProducts>
          <name xsi:type="xsd:string">Grosses</name>
          <subCategories xsi:type="ns3:Array" ns3:arrayType="ns2:pshop[]"
xsi:null="true"/>
          <description xsi:type="xsd:string" xsi:null="true"/>
          <parentId xsi:type="xsd:int">0</parentId>
          <id xsi:type="xsd:int">422</id>
     </item>
</subCategories>
<description xsi:type="xsd:string">A nice category
description.</description>
<parentId xsi:type="xsd:int">-1</parentId>
<id xsi:type="xsd:int">421</id>
</return>
</ns1:getCategoryResponse>

the problem is that in my schema i defined othr nodes like this

<catalog>
     <categor>
     ...
     <sub-categories>
          <category>
          ...
          </category>
          ...
     </subcategories>
     </category>
     ...
</catalog>

and in the SOAP response I got <item> whithin the subcategories node
and <return> instead of <category>


I know this is a lot to read an to think about, but I hope there is anybody
who can give me a hint
or describe how I can solve the problem.

many thx

daniel
