The namespaces element is optional in the java-wsdl element, however if it is missing generation fails. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBWS-1080 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBWS-1080 Project: JBoss Web Services Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: wstools Affects Versions: jbossws-1.0.0, jbossws-1.0.1 Reporter: Darran Lofthouse Assigned To: Darran Lofthouse Fix For: jbossws-1.0.4 The namespaces element is optional in the java-wsdl element, however if it is missing generation fails. Further comments in the schema also suggest that it should be optional and if missing the namespace automatically generated based on the package of the SEI and the types. The following error is shown when missing: - [Fatal Error] :1:266: The value of the attribute "prefix="xmlns",localpart="ns1",rawname="xmlns:ns1"" is invalid. Prefixed namespace bindings may not be empty. [Fatal Error] :1:277: The value of the attribute "prefix="xmlns",localpart="tns",rawname="xmlns:tns"" is invalid. Prefixed namespace bindings may not be empty.
