Question

I created a couple of WCF services. One very robust one that can accept both SOAP and RESTful requests, and provide XML and JSON responses.

–EDIT: FYI: Enabling an SOAP endpoint to accept a RESTful request requires the use of [WebGet…, and as such, all input parameters must be of type string.

The other, a simple RESTful connector. The WSDL for the first service validates, however for the second, very simple RESTful connector – invalid.

I was using WSDL2Java to to complete the connection process, but fails, due to an invalid WSDL.

Am I mistaken in thinking that WSDL v2.0 is being generated?

Here is the WSDL from the service:

Answer 1

.NET does not support WSDL v2. This is WSDL 1.0.

According to XMLSpy:

attribute ‘element’ in message part ‘parameters’ (message
‘IRESTService_GetXMLData_InputMessage’) refers to element
‘tns:GetXMLData’ which is not defined within the WSDL file!
