Message Model Wizard, XSD hierarchy issue

"New Message Model" wizard... Two XML Options are provided: Option 1 "SOAP XML" i.e. use a WSDL, Option 2 "Other XML" e.g. use an XSD.

When importing from a pre-existing WSDL (Option 1) - you can successfully refer to the WSDL file and all dependent XSDs are also pulled into the Mesage Model automatically. This is good - it works just as well as the former Message Set import wizard in Message Broker.

When importing from a pre-existing XSD (Option 2) - There are two issues:

Issue 1) You can only select one XSD file at a time, dependent XSDs are not imported into the Message Model. This is inconsistent with the behavior exhibited when importing a WSDL file.

Issue 2) XSDs stored in a hierarchical package structure (with a
hierarchical namespace or file-system directory definition) are flattened, all XSDs are imported into the base project directory and are left broken (import / include statements are not updated to reflect the new XSD locations). This behavior has regressed in comparison to Message Broker Message Sets, where the Message Set import wizard would ensure that the organisational hierarchy of an XSD is preserved on-import.

    RFE Review. As part of our standard process for reviewing RFEs we have recently discussed this RFE and wish to note that it remains of long term interest to us. It is regrettable that we have not yet managed to prioritize this requirement for immediate action, but we will continue to monitor for popularity and keep it in mind for future plans. Status is maintained as Uncommitted Candidate.

    Fully understand the problem, but meantime here is a workaround that might help.

    If you wrap the root xsd in a skeletal wsdl then import the wsdl, the xsds get imported in the correct folders.

    Here's an example skeletal wsdl for a root xsd called PhoneBanking.xsd in namespace http://www.example.com/PhoneBanking. The wsdl only needs to contain the wsdl:types section (to import the root xsd), a wsdl:binding and an empty wsdl:types.


    xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
