Wsdl definition builder problems

[pwatson]

Hi all,

I am having an issue using the XsdBasedSoap11Wsdl4jDefinitionBuilder class to dynamically build my wsdl file; my xsd file is quite complicated and not all xs:element tags have a 'name' attribute (for example I have some tags like xs:element ref='' that reference definitions in other parts of my file). This is causing the builder to fail with the following exception when requesting the wsdl:

java.lang.NullPointerException
at org.springframework.ws.wsdl.wsdl11.builder.XsdBase dSoap11Wsdl4jDefinitionBuilder.isRequestMessage(Xs dBasedSoap11Wsdl4jDefinitionBuilder.java:244)
at org.springframework.ws.wsdl.wsdl11.builder.XsdBase dSoap11Wsdl4jDefinitionBuilder.buildMessages(XsdBa sedSoap11Wsdl4jDefinitionBuilder.java:223)
at org.springframework.ws.wsdl.wsdl11.builder.Abstrac tWsdl4jDefinitionBuilder.buildMessages(AbstractWsd l4jDefinitionBuilder.java:115)
<rest removed>

I can see from the source that the method buildMessages expects each element to have a name attribute. On this evidence, is the XsdBasedSoap11Wsdl4jDefinitionBuilder only suited for simple xsd files or have I uncovered a defect?

Has anyone else had similar issues?

thanks,

Paul.

I could change the code so that it only makes messages out of elements with names (i.e. do a null check at XsdBasedSoap11Wsdl4jDefinitionBuilder, line 233). Could you create a JIRA issue for this?

Thanks for spotting this!

I'm facing the same problem. I have schema with <element ref="..."> tags and causing the NullPointerException in XsdBasedSoap11Wsdl4jDefinitionBuilder.

Do we have a bug or issue number logged in Jira yet? If yes, please let me know so that I can watch for it once it is fixed.
If not please let me know I will be more than happy to file one.

Thanks

Sorry guys,

Been busy...Here is the JIRA:
http://opensource.atlassian.com/proj...browse/SWS-101

I have also tested and uploaded the patched class (as suggested by Arjen).

regards,

Paul.

...issue is fixed in SVN.

Thanks Arjen to fix the problem so quick.
How will I get the updated code. Should I just download the "1.0m3 download" from Spring WS website or do I have to wait for next milestone build or do I have to build Spring WS locally based on the latest 1.0m3 source.
