Hi I have a problem with schema validation in axis. The thing is that I've created wsdl file describing my web service interface, the file imports some other xsd files that describes web-service parameter and reponse. The problem is that in the parameter element and reponse element I've got the same names of subelements. For egzample I have main patrameter element PARAMETER and main response element RESPONSE. In xsd file they reference to different groups that contain elements with the same names:
<xs:element name="PARAMETER"> <xs:complexType> <xs:group ref="ns1:group1"/> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema> <xs:element name="RESPONSE"> <xs:complexType> <xs:group ref="ns1:group2"/> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:schema> Groups look like this: <xs:group name="group1"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="ELEMENT1" minOccurs="0"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="RECORD" maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xs:complexType> <xs:complexContent> <xs:extension base="some_base1"/> </xs:complexContent> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:sequence> </xs:group> <xs:group name="group2"> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="ELEMENT1" minOccurs="0"> <xs:complexType> <xs:sequence> <xs:element name="RECORD" maxOccurs="unbounded"> <xs:complexType> <xs:complexContent> <xs:extension base="some_base2"/> </xs:complexContent> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:sequence> </xs:complexType> </xs:element> </xs:sequence> </xs:group> The thing is that when axis validates soap messages it returns errors. I suspect that it thinks that REPONSE = PARAMETER because they have references to groups that have the same named elements ELEMENT1. I created my web-service using Eclipse - I created WSDL file and schemas in xsd and with this base I generated whole web-service (web-service classes and classes that represents parameter and response of the web-service.) I think eclipse identify elements in schema with their names and namespaces - because in this schema ELEMENT1 from group1 and from group2 have the same names and namespaces - eclipse generated for both elements one class (which is corrent for only one of them). I wonder if this is only eclipse bug or also axis. Do I have to change tool from eclipse or maybe it won't help because axis also will treat those elements the same way? What should I do to fix that without schema changing? If someone had the same problem in the past and knows the answear - please help! Any comment appreciated! Regards ania
