Well, the tc (or someone from ws-i) would need to give him an official response. As of now I just told him that in my personal view his stuff is ok and the ws-i tooling is broken.

thanks

Thank you, I'm glad you've been able to help this implementer, and that I'm out of the middle ;-)

Subject: Fwd: Multiple inline schema's with the same targetNamespace doesn't work properly

offlist to the Steering Committee roster.

What do I say to this quy? He has been asking you directly and through me a question since May. Can someone reply to him, if even to say you have no intention of replying.

Hi WS-I folks,

On 30 May staff forwarded an email asking where to send a question about the WS-I assets created under the old WS-I.org.

Failing any other feedback, Gerwin has submitted his question to me, here it is.

Subject: Multiple inline schema's with the same targetNamespace doesn't work properly
To: Scott McGrath <scott.mcgrath@oasis-open.org>

Hi WS-I members,

I created a WSDL with multiple inline schema's with the same targetNamespace. WSDL 1.1 is not very clear regarding this, but this is corrected in WSDL 2.0, which explicitly allows this:

A WSDL 2.0 document may define multiple inline schemas in its types element. The two or more schemas may have the same target namespace provided that they do not define the same elements or types. It is an error to define the same element or type more than once, even if the definitions are identical.

This gives me the impression that WSDL 1.1 was also intended to allow this, although not explicitly stated.

Basic Profile Version 1.1 doesn't seem to restrict WSDL 1.1 in any way regarding multiple schema's with the same targetNamespace.

This is also confirmed by the fact that the Analyzer tool allows me to refer to different inline XSD Schema's with the same targetNamespace from a Message Part element.

But when it comes to a reference from one inline XSD Schema to another XSD Schema, it is failing saying:

Error: src-resolve: Cannot resolve the name 'same:addressElement' to a(n) 'element declaration' component.

I included the required Analyzer config file, WSDL file, console output and report in the attached zip file.

Given this scenario, I have the following questions:

1) Are multiple inline XSD Schema's with the same targetNamespace allowed? Are there any references available?

2) Can you confirm that the problem reported above is a bug in the Analyzer? If this is true, we can still claim to be Basic Profile compliant.

3) If this is a bug, can it be fixed?

Kind regards,

Gerwin
