Something seems off with this element. An element that directly references the schema is pretty strange to me - I've never seen such structure:

    <s:element name="GetDataResponse">
        <s:complexType>
            <s:sequence>
                <s:element minOccurs="0" maxOccurs="1" name="GetDataResult">
                    <s:complexType>
                        <s:sequence>
                            <s:element ref="s:schema" />
                            <s:any />
                        </s:sequence>
                    </s:complexType>
                </s:element>
            </s:sequence>
        </s:complexType>
    </s:element>

I've validated your WSDL in Eclipse - see what Eclipse says for this WSDL:

Error resolving component 's:schema'. It was detected that 's:schema' is in namespace 'http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema', but components from this namespace are not referenceable from schema document 'file:///WSDLTEST.wsdl'. If this is the incorrect namespace, perhaps the prefix of 's:schema' needs to be changed. If this is the correct namespace, then an appropriate 'import' tag should be added to 'file:///WSDL.wsdl'.

Try removing <s:element ref="s:schema" /> line altogether and see if it works for you. Or describe the sequence element by element the way it's been done for the request GetData.
