Mauro Molinari commented on AXIS2-3354:
---------------------------------------

Please note that using absolute URLs is a dirty trick, because we can't know at 
design/deployment time what will be the full URL where the webapp (containing 
WSDLs and XSDs) will be located.

> Allow for sharing XSD schemas between services

> Suppose I have the following structure:
> The WSDLs for MyService1 and MyService2 are in the following folders, 
> respectively:
> contextpath/WEB-INF/services/MyService1/META-INF/
> contextpath/WEB-INF/services/MyService2/META-INF/
> I want them to share Common.xsd: as of now, it seems that there's no way to 
> get this to work.
> If I put it here:
> contextpath/WEB-INF/services/
> and the xsd:import schemaLocation in the WSDLs points to "../../Common.xsd", 
> Axis2 can find the XSD and processes the services correctly, but when it 
> substitutes the link to it in the WSDLs, it generates the following links:
> MyService1?xsd=../../Common.xsd (in MyService1 WSDL)
> MyService2?xsd=../../Common.xsd (in MyService2 WSDL)
> The problem is that from an HTTP client point of view, this translates to 
> path contextpath/Common.xsd: in fact, if you try to write the link:
> http://server:8080/contextpath/services/MyService1?xsd=../../Common.xsd
> a "file not found" error is given.
> Another clue is that if I try to generate a client pointing to
> http://server:8080/contextpath/services/MyService1?wsdl, WSDL2Java says that 
> it cannot retrieve the schema.
> By manually typing:
> http://server:8080/contextpath/services/MyService1?xsd=../Common.xsd
> I see that the schema can actually be found; but if I replace the xsd:import 
> in the original WSDL so that the schemaLocation points to "../Common.xsd", 
> then Axis2 can't find it anymore, because it searches for it in 
> contextpath/WEB-INF/services/MyService1/ and the generation of the WSDL fails.
> So, my request is this: add a supported way to share schemas (and maybe WSDLs 
> portions) between services.
> Maybe the system should allow a default common repository where shared 
> schemas and WSDLs can be placed? Or should the way in which Axis2 rewrites 
> the schemaLocation link in the WSDL when imported resources are mapped to 
> file outside the current folder simply fixed?
