Anne Thank you for your response.
I am in fact using rpc, my WSDL reflects that & I have been doing as you suggest, ie "take that type information from the <part> definition and recontruct it as an XML Schema <simpleType> or <complexType> definition". I guess I had been hoping for a more automated method of producing the schema. I am currently on an internet link that will not take a download of WASP, but taking a hint from you I thought I might re-do the AXIS 'javaToWSDL', but this time use the '-y' option (ie: "-y document") to try to produce a 'document' flavoured WSDL with everything I need defined within the <schema> section. This however appears to produce the exact same wsdl as when I supply "-y rpc". The full command: java org.apache.axis.wsdl.Java2WSDL -y document -o C:\Telia\jakarta-tomcat-4.0.1\webapps\axis\WEB-INF\classes\net\cp\applicatio n\memum\MeMUMSubscriptionChangeServiceDoc.wsdl -l "http://localhost:9249/axis/services/MeMUMSubscriptionChangeService"; -n "urn:MeMUMSubscriptionChangeService" -p"net.cp.application.memum" "urn:MeMUMSubscriptionChangeService" net.cp.application.memum.MeMUMSubscriptionChange Any view on my use of this '-y' option ?

You can simply extract the <schema> section. If you're using rpc/encoded or rpc/literal, then either you've defined the type information in the <message> structure, or you've defined the type information in the <types> section. If the former, then you need to take that type information from the <part> definition and recontruct it as an XML Schema <simpleType> or <complexType> definition. In either case you haven't defined the element structure, so you also need to define that. I don't know of a tool that will automatically generate an XML Schema from a WSDL description. I do suggest using Systinet WASP's java2wsdl tool (included with WASP Server or WASP Developer -- both free for development purposes) to generate doc/literal WSDL files from your Java code -- you can specify that you want it to generate a full schema for you.
