RE: Beginners help

Steffen,

I've pasted the modified wsdl below. I'm confident that change item 1 in my 
previous message (defining <input...> and <output...> elements in the 
bindings by name vice message attribute) will have no effect on the service. 
It is only a change in the way the wsdl is represented-- more specifically, 
in how some wsdl elements reference one another. I believe that change item 
2 (changing the value of the type attribute in the <mime:content...> 
elements from "application/binary" to "application/octetstream") is also 
only a change in representation. This is an educatd guess, however, as I 
don't really know the semantics of the type attribute.

I'm also working on a patch for this problem. It will be somewhat of a hack, 
but it should enable you to build client stubs without changing the wsdl. I 
say it is a hack for the following reason. Based on some further debugging, 
it looks like the class WSDLReader is creating a corrupted instance of the 
Definition class that is used to model the wsdl file. WSDLReader is part of 
WSDL4J, and I don't have the source code for it (don't know if it is even 
open source). However, based on what I've seen I think I can quite easily 
insert some code to fix the Definition instance returned by WSDLReader. I'll 
send you the patch source when I have it.

Here's the modified wsdl that worked for me.

Mark,

Once again, thank you so much.
I am far from understanding, what's going on behind the scenes.
> If you want me to send you the modified wsdl that worked for me, let me
know.
It would be very grateful, if you could send it to me.

As I am usure, can you tell me, wether these changes will only change the
representation of the wsdl or will they change the meaning the the wsdl
file? Exspecially, should the modified file work with the existing service?
Regards,
  Steffen
