RE: Lost "inherited" attributes

[Ruslan . Zenin]

Have you tried to generate Java code from you WSDL with option -a (All)
It will generate all types even unreferenced in your WSDL.

Subject: Lost "inherited" attributes


Hi,

I'm not quite sure if this a bug or if it's just a usage error as I'm
working with axis for just a week now. Here's the problem:

I got a wsdl that defines a base type like this

      <s:complexType name="RequestBaseType">
            <s:attribute use="required" name="Type" type="s:string"/>
            <s:attribute ...
            ...               
      </s:complexType>

And then I got an inherited type:

            <s:element name="Request">
                  <s:complexType>
                    <s:complexContent>
                        <s:extension base="s0:RequestBaseType">
                              <s:sequence>
                                    ...  
                              </s:sequence>
                              ...
                    </s:complexContent>
                  </s:complexType>
            </s:element>

>From the generated classes (wsdl2java creates a RequestBaseType and a
subclass Request) I setup a Request object including a value for the
attribute "Type" from the RequestBaseType and then I send the request
using
the stub. But tcpmon shows that "Request" has no attributes set! It
seems
that the inherited attributes are lost.

I finally fixed the "problem" by defining a dummy attribute in the
"Request"
definition like this:

            <s:element name="Request">
                  <s:complexType>
                    <s:complexContent>
                        <s:extension base="s0:RequestBaseType">
                              <s:sequence>
                                    ...  
                              </s:sequence>
                              <s:attribute use="optional"
name="MyDummyType" type="s:string"/>
                    </s:complexContent>
                  </s:complexType>
            </s:element>            

Now the inherited attributes are used correctly!

Any clues for that?

Thanks,
 Matthias David.
