I am trying to create a web service in MyEclipse using the top-down method. However, when I use the wizard to do so, I get a non-descript error saying “Could not create service”. I used XMLSpy to validate the WSDL, and I have another WSDL client that can parse it successfully as well, so I am not sure what I am missing.

I am a WSDL newbie, but when I tried to create the service bottom-up (actually preferred method), my client couldn’t parse the WSDL because it was missing a type attribute on the message parts. So, I have created this WSDL to the best of my knowledge in an attempt to work around it.

Many thanks in advance for your help!

My WSDL contains:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Darcy,

Your WSDL file fails WS-I compliance checks BP2108 and BP2012. You can find out more about these here: http://www.ws-i.org/Testing/Tools/2005/06/AP10_BP11_SSBP10_TAD.htm

How are you generating / developing your client? WS-I compliant message parts actually require the element attribute and not the type attribute.

Might I suggest continuing with the bottom up approach, and hand tweaking the WSDL generated by XFire and using that instead? Again, I’m not entirely clear what the details on your client are, so I can’t say for sure. In your service bean (in the services.xml file) you can use the <wsdlURL> element to point to your WSDL file.

Hope this helps.

I will give that a shot – many thanks again, Brian!
