RE: XSD to WSDL Translation

[Callahan, Paul]

Might also be interested in XMLBeans or JAXB for XML serialization.

Because Axis does only understand very basic XML Schema concepts.

If you are not happy with the generated WSDL

you can provide your own WSDL by adding a <wsdlFile> tag to you deployment descriptor ("deploy.wsdd").

See http://www.osmoticweb.com/axis-wsdd/

If you also want you schema to be reflected in your generated binding classes

you might be interested in the castor project.

See http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/webservices/library/ws-castor/

and http://www.castor.org/

 

Hope this helps,

Betreff: XSD to WSDL Translation

Hi,
In our xsd, we've an XOR choice.

Following is the snippet of xsd...
-------------------------------------------------------
<xs:choice>
  <xs:element ref="profile:Male"/>
  <xs:element ref="profile:Female"/>
</xs:choice>
<xs:element ref="profile:Location" minOccurs="0"/>
-------------------------------------------------------

When this gets converted into wsdl we can see the following snippet in wsdl...

wsdl is viewed like below in a browser
Go to browser
1) http://localhost:8080/axis(this is where our service is deployed)
2) Click the view link in the sentence "View the list of deployed Web services "
3) Click the wsdl link against your service.

WSDL Snippet
-------------------------------------------------------
<element name="Male" nillable="true" type="tns3:Sex_Type" />
<element name="Female" nillable="true" type="tns3:Sex_Type" />
<element maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0" name="Location" nillable="true"    type="tns4:Location_Type" />
-------------------------------------------------------

QUESTION IS :
Why the choice tag(XOR option) in xsd is not reflected in wsdl?
Location tag with minouccurs=0 is translated from xsd to wsdl.(Please refer the above xsd and wsdl snippets)

Expecting your reply

Thanks
