Spring web service dynamic wsdl not generating message for a schema element

Question

I have the following schema:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" 
xmlns:m="http://ws.mypackage.com" 
xmlns:xmime="http://www.w3.org/2005/05/xmlmime" elementFormDefault="qualified"
targetNamespace="http://ws.mypackage.com" 
attributeFormDefault="unqualified"> 

    <xs:element name="downloadMessageRequestSaaj">
        <xs:complexType/>
    </xs:element>

    <xs:element name="downloadMessageRequest">
        <xs:complexType/>
    </xs:element>   

    <xs:element name="downloadMessageResponseSaaj" type="m:downloadResponseSaajType" />

    <xs:complexType name="downloadResponseSaajType">
            <xs:sequence>
                <xs:element name="requestName" type="xs:string"/>
                <xs:element name="payLoad">
                    <xs:complexType>
                        <xs:sequence>
                            <xs:element name="messagePayLoad" type="xs:base64Binary" xmime:expectedContentTypes="multipart/related"/>
                        </xs:sequence>
                    </xs:complexType>
                </xs:element>
            </xs:sequence>
     </xs:complexType>

    <xs:element name="downloadMessageResponse" type="m:downloadResponseType" />

    <xs:complexType name="downloadResponseType">
            <xs:sequence>
                <xs:element name="requestName" type="xs:string"/>
                <xs:element name="payLoad">
                    <xs:complexType>
                        <xs:sequence>
                            <xs:element name="messagePayLoad" type="xs:base64Binary" xmime:expectedContentTypes="multipart/related"/>
                        </xs:sequence>
                    </xs:complexType>
                </xs:element>
            </xs:sequence>
     </xs:complexType>


     <xs:element name="localDTMRequest">
        <xs:complexType/>
    </xs:element>

    <xs:element name="localDTMResponse">
        <xs:complexType>        
            <xs:sequence>
                <xs:element name="localDTM" type="xs:dateTime"/>
            </xs:sequence>          
        </xs:complexType>
    </xs:element>    

</xs:schema>

And configured Spring to auto-generate the WSDL file as shown below:

<ws:dynamic-wsdl id="serviceDefinition" portTypeName="myService"
        locationUri="http://localhost:8080/springWsTest/webservice">
        <ws:xsd location="/WEB-INF/schemas/schema.xsd" />
    </ws:dynamic-wsdl>

The generated WSDL file is missing the "messages" for downloadMessageRequestSaaj and downloadMessageResponseSaaj. Why is that?

Here is the generated wsdl file..

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><wsdl:definitions xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:sch="http://ws.mypackage.com" xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/" xmlns:tns="http://ws.mypackage.com" targetNamespace="http://ws.mypackage.com">

    <xs:element name="downloadMessageRequestSaaj">

    </xs:element>   

    <xs:element name="downloadMessageResponseSaaj" type="m:downloadResponseSaajType"/>

    <xs:complexType name="downloadResponseSaajType">

I have gone through the schema file a million times and just cannot see any difference between the messages that are generated and those that are not. Can you see why they are not?

Answer 1

It's because of the name. Spring is using the convention that messages are called SomethingRequest and responses SomethingResponse.
