Question

I’ve got in my webservice a simple public boolean isAlive() service. I defined it in my WSDL :

<wsdl:types>     <xsd:element name='isAliveResponse' type='xsd:boolean'>     </xsd:element> </wsdl:types> <wsdl:message name='isAliveResponse'>     <wsdl:part element='ns:isAliveResponse' name='parameters'/> </wsdl:message> <wsdl:portType name='myService'>     <wsdl:operation name='isAlive'>         <wsdl:output message='ns:isAliveResponse'/>     </wsdl:operation> </wsdl:portType> <wsdl:binding name='myServiceSOAP' type='ns:myService'> <soap:binding style='document' transport='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/http' />     <wsdl:operation name='isAlive'>     <soap:operation soapAction='http://myServiceURL/isAlive' />     <wsdl:input>         <soap:body use='literal' />     </wsdl:input>     <wsdl:output>         <soap:body use='literal' />     </wsdl:output> </wsdl:operation> </wsdl:binding> 

When I generate the Service skeleton the method is generated but not in the client stub. Is there a problem in the WSDL ? Should I put a wsdl:input even if the method don’t have arguments (I didn’t put the whole WSDL but all the other method with a ‘request’ arg are well generated) ? And if I have to put a wsdl:input what would be it’s message ?

Edit : After validating the WSDL under Eclipse I have the warning WS-I: (BP2208) wsdl:operation was not a request/response or one-way operation after searching I found a description here : http://www.ws-i.org/Testing/Tools/2005/01/BP11_TAD_1-1.htm#BP2208 (it seems the anchor doesn’t work) so I guess the error is probably the missing wsdl:input.

Answer 1

As said in my edit the problem was the missing wsdl:input. By adding

<wsdl:input message='ns:isAliveRequest' /> 

and

<wsdl:message name='isAliveRequest'></wsdl:message> 

then my original problem is solved… conclusion, I should have searched more by myself before to ask on SO 🙁
