Webshere Integration Developer issues

Does anyone have any experience with WID? We've run into a problem where WSDL files imported into WID is unable to resolve complex data types (does anyone at IBM test this stuff?!! or do they just throw it onto the market...) What's even funnier - the WSDL files were generated by Another IBM product - RAD 6. Anyone have any suggestions or experience with this product?

Can you post a snippet of your WSDL? Is it possible the WSDL file itself was incorrectly generated, ie, have you tried running it through a validator outside of WID?

I've run the web service which uses is described by this WSDL file on WAS 6.0. The service works correctly. The error that I'm getting is that the type reference "http://test.com#SimpleObject" is unresolved.

here's the snippet of the Types seciton

<wsdl:Definitions targetNamespace="http://ejbs.test.com"
xmlns:impl="http://ejbs.test.com" xmlns:intf="http://ejbs.test.com"
xmlns:tns2="http://test.com"
xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
xmlns:wsdlsoap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"
xmlns:wsi="http://ws-i.org/profiles/basic/1.1/xsd"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
 <wsdl:types>
  <schema targetNamespace="http://ejbs.test.com" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:impl="http://ejbs.test.com" xmlns:intf="http://ejbs.test.com"
xmlns:tns2="http://test.com" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
   <import namespace="http://test.com"/>
   <element name="getSimpleObjectResponse">
    <complexType>
     <sequence>
      <element name="getSimpleObjectReturn" nillable="true" type="tns2:SimpleObject"/>
     </sequence>
    </complexType>
   </element>
   <element name="getSimpleObject">
    <complexType>
     <sequence/>
    </complexType>
   </element>
  </schema>
  <schema targetNamespace="http://test.com" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:impl="http://ejbs.test.com"
xmlns:intf="http://ejbs.test.com"
xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
   <complexType name="SimpleObject">
    <sequence>
     <element name="value" type="xsd:int"/>
    </sequence>
   </complexType>
  </schema>
 </wsdl:types>

I still think it's a WID issue rather than the WSDL issue.

what exactly are you trying to do, are you trying to invoke an existing running web service from a SCA Module as a web service Import?

We basically want to invoke this service in a BPEL process. The WSDL was imported from an existing service we have. I'm pretty new to WID, so I'm not sure what exactly an SCA module is. What we've done previously was just import the WSDL as a web service, and use a simple BPEL process to invoke it (and other services as well). However, when we import this service into WID, we immediately get validation errors that did not appear in the Web Service project in RAD.

Well, WID uses a new programming model called SCA which is a new specification recently published by IBM, BEA, Oracle and other vendors. It is a programming model for building SCA applications. WID relies on this technology. Take a look at these articles for an introduction:

Take a look at this article series:

In your case, you will need an WebService Import.
