Folks, here's an iteration of the WSDLs and XML Schemata I sent this Monday. It now includes the WSRF rendering which, by inclusion is interoperable with the WS-I SP rendering. Formally the WSDLs won't validate as I intentionally left out the bindings. Cheers, Michel On 28 Jan 2008, at 18:00, Michel Drescher wrote:

Guys,

as promised, I did a XML Schema and WSDL hacking session today. The primary goal was to figure out what can go as appendix to the Functional Specification and what needs to be separated out into binding specific documents.

The guideline was to define as much as possible in binding neutral terms, and keep all message element definitions and supplementary XML elements to separate documents.

I came up with the attached files (extract the ZIP file first!):

1) dmi-datamodel.xsd This file is intended to be added as an appendix to the Functional Specification as it is binding neutral and, in fact, totally message neutral.

2) dmi-wsi-messages.xsd This file contains the message element definitions and wrapper elements that are WS-I compliant. Consequently it contains all the request, response and fault message definitions, plus some supplementary wrappers that are clearly related to WS messages (and not to the data model).

3) dmi-wsi-wsdl.wsdl This file contains the formal WS-I compliant port type definition. THIS FILE IS NOT COMPLETE YET. Though the port type is complete, we are still missing the SOAPAction values, or, alternatively, WS- Addressing compliant wsa:Action definitions. I would strongly argue for WS-Addressing Action elements as they can be placed in the portType section, as opposed to the SOAPAction values which MUST be defined in the binding section. But we can discuss this on the subsequent calls. :)

The primary goal now is to have you guys review the data model schema which should go into the Functional Specification.

I made some subtle changes to allow for data type reusage - please pay attention to the dmi:AvailableProtocols and dmi:SupportedProtocols elements.

Cheers, and see you on the call on Wednesday, Michel<dmi-wsdl-schema.zip>
