Heya,
Thanks for the reply. I need to mull this over for how I want to
proceed. I think Castor needs data in a XSD file, so I might have to maintain
the schema information in two places (WSDL and an XSD file) if I want consumers
to be able to pull the WSDL off of the site via ?WSDL.
I did a little poking around/experimenting and found out that .NET's
wsdl.exe could read the original WSDL if we put the .XSD on the command line.
Still not great since the consumer would have to know the name/location of the
XSD file (although some usenet posts said that it *might* work with a
schemaLocation that's a URL - haven't tried it out yet). But, it still cannot
work with the site generated WSDL since WSDL2Java strips all reference to the
import (see files down below - the one generated from the website removed the
entire import section). When we ran the original WSDL (the one with an import)
through .NET and checked its site generated WSDL, the XSD was embedded into the
WSDL and any tool (WSDL2Java, XMLSpy, wsdl.exe) could use it. It appears that
WSDL2Java creates a skeleton that simply strips all reference to imports, which
renders it unuseable when pulled from the site via ?WSDL. It'd be nice to have
a tool that was a combination - import recognition (WSDL2Java) and useable site
generated WSDL(.NET).
Anna, pondering...

.NET has problems with imports. That's why it works when you embed the
schema, but not when you import it.
