I don't know if what I'm running into is a bug or a feature, but I
thought I'd bring it up in case it hasn't been noticed before.
If you create a WSDL similar to the one below in wrapped/literal style,
you will not be able to create a complexType whose attribute is of a
custom simpleType. In the example below, the following error (which
I've posted about before) is listed when you try to view the deployed
service's WSDL through the browser interface:
AXIS error
Sorry, something seems to have gone wrong... here are the details:
Fault - Bean attribute testAttribute 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 testAttribute is of type
org.apache.axis.types.NormalizedString, which is not a simple type
faultActor:
faultNode:
faultDetail:
{http://xml.apache.org/axis/}hostname:ORLIWG2H5Y61
However, I'm able to run a test client with no problems, as confirmed by
TCPMonitor. I can view the information sent over the line and the
information returned with no problem. I can fix the above error by
changing the attribute type from "y:testAttribute" to
"xs:normalizedString". Then, the exact same client works the exact same
way, but now I am able to view the deployed service's WSDL with no
issues.
Is Axis designed to behave this way? It's my understanding that XML
allows for custom simpleTypes to be defined and then used as attributes,
and the schemas I work with use this feature a good deal. The WSDL I
use in this example is posted below. If anybody is feeling generous,
please see if you can replicate the same errors I'm getting.
