Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

I need to implement a client for an existing web service. from the web service provider, i have a wsdl and several xsd files. these files seem all right (neither eclipse nor netbeans complains). note that because of technical restrictions, I need to use the wscompile from JWSDP 1.5.

to generate the classes I use:

wscompile -verbose -f:searchschema -gen:client -keep -s ./output/source/ -d ./output/ ./config.xml

during the compile process, no error or warning messages are produced. still, parts of the elements/types defined in the xsd files don't have their java equivalent produced.

here is an example:

<xs:element name="PostalAddressEdifact">
		<xs:complexType>
			<xs:complexContent>
				<xs:extension base="PostalAddressEdifactType">
					<xs:attribute name="addressType" type="AddressType" use="required"/>
				</xs:extension>
			</xs:complexContent>
		</xs:complexType>
	</xs:element>

wscompile does not produce PostalAdressEdifact.java. if I change the code above to (add an empty sequence to the extension):

<xs:element name="PostalAddressEdifact">
		<xs:complexType>
			<xs:complexContent>
				<xs:extension base="PostalAddressEdifactType">
					<xs:sequence/>
					<xs:attribute name="addressType" type="AddressType" use="required"/>
				</xs:extension>
			</xs:complexContent>
		</xs:complexType>
	</xs:element>

wscomplile produces PostalAdressEdifact.java

Another example:

<xs:element name="PostalAddress" type="PostalAddressType"/>

even though the complex type PostalAddressType exists in the same xsd file, wscompile won't produce a java files, neither for PostalAddress, nor for PostalAddressType.

I went through a bunch of postings in this list; some people seam(ed) to have similar problems, but I did not find any decent answer to their posts.

Help, please. don't hesitate to ask back (for files, log etc.) if this could help you to help me.
