Problem with WSDL Validation when Generated by Apache-Axis Web Publisher.

[Jerry Cole]

Title: Message

Sorry to re-send this note, but has no one had a problem with 3rd party WSDL validators not liking WSDL generated by the Axis WS Publisher running under Tomcat?

Hi.

 

I'm checking out the Axis Web Publisher that runs as a webapp under Tomcat. I'm using Axis 1.1 and Tomcat 5.0.

 

The WSDL generated by the AdminClient looks okay to me (I am not an expert) and works when called through the Axis client libraries (WSDL2Java).

 

However, a proxy server that we have complains that the WSDL is invalid and I was able to verify that it is considered invalid by a few WSDL validators I googled (e.g. the one under Tools at www.xmethods.net). Unfortunately, these validators don't tell you anything about what's wrong. ("Can't parse" is the usual message.  It is NOT  a problem with finding the location.)

 

Even the Version example's WSDL (that comes with Axis) is considered to be invalid by these tools.

 

Any thoughts as to why these are invalid and how to get around it?
