Thanks Alex, I was able to get everything to resolve last night as you said, by using the schemaLocation as the key for the registerEntity call. It was a bit of a pain given that there are 100+ schemas and some of them are referenced more than once, but it worked. Unfortunately the slowness I was seeing is still there. Looking at the log, it seems to be due to the consumption of the WSDL, which is fodder for a different forum (and/or my own thoughts). Thanks for your help with this issue.
