I'm having a problem getting Axis to deploy properly with a WSDL that
uses a schema in an external file. Here is the type called "Purpose"'s
definition in the schema:
<xs:complexType name="Purpose">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>5.1.41</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="HasRole" type="Role"
maxOccurs="unbounded">
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="Optimizer" type="xs:string"
maxOccurs="unbounded">
</xs:element>
</xs:sequence>
<xs:attribute name="description" type="descriptionType"
use="required"/>
</xs:complexType>
The problem lies in the "description" attribute. It's of type
"descriptionType". Here is "descriptionType"'s declaration:
<xs:simpleType name="descriptionType">
<xs:annotation>
<xs:documentation>5.1.5</xs:documentation>
<xs:documentation>restricted to
xs:string</xs:documentation>
</xs:annotation>
<xs:restriction base="xs:normalizedString"/>
</xs:simpleType>
When I use this, after I deploy my WSDL normally, I try to view the WSDL
through my web browser. This is the error I get:
AXIS error
Sorry, something seems to have gone wrong... here are the details:
Fault - Bean attribute description is of type
org.apache.axis.types.NormalizedString, which is not a simple type
AxisFault
faultCode:
{http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/}Server.generalException
faultSubcode:
faultString: Bean attribute description is of type
org.apache.axis.types.NormalizedString, which is
not a simple type
faultActor:
faultNode:
faultDetail:
{http://xml.apache.org/axis/}hostname:ORLIWG2H5Y61
This didn't make sense to me at first, because xs:normalizedString IS of
simpleType (at least according to the O'Reilly reference that I use). I
can solve this problem in one of two ways. I can change the attribute
type of "description" from "descriptionType" to "xs:normalizedString".
Or, I can change the restriction base of "descriptionType" from
"xs:normalizedString" to "xs:string".
The problem is, I don't want to have to change my schema, because it
corresponds to industry standards as it is. Can anybody see a problem
that I'm missing? I can provide the WSDL/schema if requested.
Thanks,
