Re: WSDL - Mix simple and complex types

I've had several cases Todd where the customer provided sample XML but
there was no schema. This was a lot faster that ploughing through the XML.

I agree that it may not be perfect - but that wasn't what I was looking
for.

I would be a little bit hesitant to use a schema generator, much like

writing code first and then doing the design work. I'm not saying it
cannot work but be careful.

Michael - have you tried this:

http://www.freeformatter.com/xsd-generator.html

I found it quite useful recently in a similar situation to yours where I

could not get the sequencing right. You simply paste in a section of your
XML and it writes a basic xsd for you which you can then refine.

Various other transforms/checks on the site as well.

Sorry I didn't think to suggest this earlier.

Thanks Todd and Grizz. I will investigate both of these. Looks like
that's the path I want to be on!

Michael,

I think the problem is that you don't have a parent element to
contain the repeating elements. Try something like the schema below.
Please let me know if this works for you.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <xsd:schema
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"; xmlns:tst="
http://ws.example.com/test"; attributeFormDefault="unqualified"
elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="

http://ws.example.com/test";

xml:lang="en">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:documentation xml:lang="en">Test store web
service</xsd:documentation>
</xsd:annotation>

<xsd:element name="documentName">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="store" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="repeater" type="tst:RepeaterType"

/>

</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>

<xsd:complexType name="ItemType">
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="sku" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="promo" type="xsd:string" />
<xsd:element name="zip" type="xsd:string" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>

<xsd:complexType name="RepeaterType">
<xsd:annotation>
<xsd:documentation>Repeating element</xsd:documentation>
</xsd:annotation>
<xsd:sequence>
<xsd:element name="item" type="tst:ItemType" minOccurs="1"
maxOccurs="10" />
</xsd:sequence>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:schema>

Thanks,
Todd

Subject: [WEB400] WSDL - Mix simple and complex types

Ok...I've worked with WSDLs to define web services, but it's always
been the clone and go type model. I'm running into a problem now that
I can't seem to resolve. Here's the gist: I want to have a web
service that accepts a store number, and then up to 10 groups of SKU,
promo and zip. I'm trying
this:

<xsd:element name="inStore">
<xsd:simpleType>
<xsd:restriction base="xsd:string" /> </xsd:simpleType>
</xsd:element> <xsd:element name="eCommercePromosOperation">
<xsd:complexType> <xsd:sequence minOccurs="1" maxOccurs="10">
<xsd:element name="inSKU"
type="xsd:string"></xsd:element> <xsd:element name="inPromoNum"
type="xsd:string"></xsd:element> <xsd:element name="inZip"
type="xsd:string"></xsd:element> </xsd:sequence> </xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>

But SoapUI only shows the complex type, like this (in the request):

<ecom:eCommercePromosOperation>
<inSKU>?</inSKU>
<inPromoNum>?</inPromoNum>
<inZip>?</inZip>
</ecom:eCommercePromosOperation>

Any ideas? Thanks!
