Hi, Daniel --
this is totally off-topic, so if you know a list I can ask this
question, this would be pretty much welcome because I don't know one.
This is as good a place to ask about web services ephemera as any...
Otherwise I was stumbling across the following:
In nearly every tutorial you find about WS-Policy, an element
<wsp:UsingPolicy wsdl:required="true" /> is inserted into the WSDL.
wsp
is bound to the WS-Policy namespace. However, in the schemas available
at http://www.w3.org/2007/02/ws-policy.xsd and
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2004/09/policy/ , there is no such
element
UsingPolicy. Does anybody know in which schema it is defined?
I don't think you'll find it in any schema. If I recall correctly,
it's defined by the WS-Policy Attachment specs (the specs that define
how you mark-up, e.g., a WSDL or UDDI entries) to reflect the policies
attached to components. The wsp:UsingPolicy element is a kind of
marker that goes in the WSDL as a poison pill for processors that
don't know what to do with it.
