I have to consume a WCF web service and was given a WSDL (external, so have no control on the WSDL). Inside the WSDL definitions I am not finding the service element which has the service, port and address elements. Is that normal not be present in a WSDL? Is this common for a WCF WSDL? I am trying to generate stubs for this using axis and am having issues.
<wsdl:definitions>
....
...
..
**<wsdl:service>
<wsdl:port>
<wsdl1:address/>
</wsdl:port>
</wsdl:service>**
</wsdl:definitions>
The part between the asterisks is what is missing in the WSDL.
Did someone have an issue like this? Please let me know.
When generating stubs, I am getting this error:
Exception in thread “main” org.apache.axis2.wsdl.codegen.CodeGenerationException: Error parsing WSDL

I looked at the code WSDL11ToAllAxisServicesBuilder.java and it looks like this error occurs if axis does not find a service element.
Does anyone have a solution to this?
I found why this WSDL was missing the service tag, the original WSDL provided had an import which has the service element. I don’t know if it is a correct way to do it or not, but the endpoint give to me to consume did not have it, I had to dig into other imported WSDLs to see that one of them had the service element.
Hope this helps someone.
I could not use a wsdl2java on the WSDL since there was no endpoint, do not know how to tell axis to look into the imported WSDLs for the service element though.
