Doug, We already provide a way for services to specify a static WSDL file in place of the generated version, which may meet the needs of people like yourself who would like to customize the WSDL in various ways.
That being said, I don't have any real objection to giving users the ability to add include schemas in generated WSDL. Note that I recently added an --extraClasses switch and API to the WSDL generator to generate Schema for extra Java classes, but did NOT add this option to the service WSDD. Perhaps it needs to be added to the WSDD, and that would satisfy 90% of the cases. -- Tom Jordahl Macromedia Server Development -----Original Message----- From: Douglas Bitting [mailto:Douglas.Bitting@;agile.com] Sent: Saturday, October 19, 2002 12:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Loading external schemas into WSDL... Hi. I have a question about how to go about including externally-generated schemas into the Axis-generated WSDL. Basically, I've put together a thoroughly-documented (via annotations) schema, which I'd like to physically include in the WSDL Axis generates. However, I'm not exactly sure how best to go about this. I've put together some modifications that allow for the following WSDD construct: <service name="..." ...> <parameter name="wsdlInputSchema" value="<some-url-here>"/> ... This causes the referenced schema to be physically included into the generated WSDL. Is there already some support for this type of thing in Axis that I didn't see? Am I going about this in an odd fashion? Should I do it differently? If the above mechanism turns out to be a good way to handle this, I'll be happy to submit the modifications. What do you guys think about this? Cheers, --Doug Doug Bitting Agile Software 1 Almaden Blvd San Jose, CA 95113 (408) 999-7120
