Question

I'm trying to manually handle a Web Service request using SAAJ, but still validate the received request against the schema of the WSDL for the web service. This particular WSDL contains multiple elements, which I extract using wsdl4j, and when I get to the point where I try to create a new Validator, I'm getting an error message about the Validator not being able to resolve a reference inside one schema to an element defined in another:

org.xml.sax.SAXParseException; src-resolve: Cannot resolve the name 'ns0:CustomerNumber' to a(n) 'element declaration' component.

I've wittled the actual WSDL and code down to something small to create something reproducable. The "simple.wsdl" loads correctly in Soap-UI as well. This is on Windows 7 with jdk1.7.0_51.

Note that the original WSDL with which I noticed this issue was generated by TIBCO BusinessWorks, so I don't believe this is an issue of invalid WSDL.

I have seen other questions on SO that are similar to this, but the solutions provided don't seem to fully meet my scenario, so I figured I'd ask again.

Does anybody have any idea what's going on and how I can get this working?

Test Code:

import java.util.ArrayList;

import javax.wsdl.Definition;
import javax.wsdl.extensions.schema.Schema;
import javax.wsdl.factory.WSDLFactory;
import javax.wsdl.xml.WSDLReader;
import javax.xml.XMLConstants;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMSource;
import javax.xml.validation.SchemaFactory;
import javax.xml.validation.Validator;

import org.junit.Test;
import org.w3c.dom.Element;

public class TestIt {
    @Test
    public void testWSDLSchema() throws Exception {
        WSDLFactory wsdlFactory    = WSDLFactory.newInstance();
        WSDLReader reader         = wsdlFactory.newWSDLReader();
        Definition wsdlDefinition = reader.readWSDL("test/resources/simple.wsdl");

        ArrayList<Element> wsdlSchemas = new ArrayList<Element>();

        for (Object o : wsdlDefinition.getTypes().getExtensibilityElements()) {
            if (o instanceof Schema) {
                wsdlSchemas.add(((Schema) o).getElement());
            }
        }

        SchemaFactory factory = SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);
        ArrayList<DOMSource> asrcs   = new ArrayList<DOMSource>();

        for (Element e : wsdlSchemas) {
            asrcs.add(new DOMSource(e));
        }
        DOMSource sources[] = asrcs.toArray(new DOMSource[0]);
        javax.xml.validation.Schema schema  = factory.newSchema(sources);

        Validator schemaValidator = schema.newValidator();
    }
}

No correct solution

OTHER TIPS

I had to both use a LSResourceResolver and copy namespace declarations from the wsdl document to the schema elements to make this work. Here is the code:

public static Schema makeSchema(String pathToWsdl)
    throws ParserConfigurationException, IOException, SAXException, InstantiationException, IllegalAccessException, ClassNotFoundException {
    // read wsdl document
    File wsdlFile = new File(pathToWsdl);
    DocumentBuilderFactory dbFactory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
    dbFactory.setNamespaceAware(true);
    DocumentBuilder dBuilder = dbFactory.newDocumentBuilder();
    Document wsdlDoc = dBuilder.parse(wsdlFile);

    // read namespace declarations from wsdl document, in case they are referred from a schema
    NamedNodeMap attributes = wsdlDoc.getDocumentElement().getAttributes();
    Map<String, String> namespacesFromWsdlDocument = new HashMap<>();
    for (int i = 0; i < attributes.getLength(); i++) {
        Node n = attributes.item(i);
        if (n.getNamespaceURI() != null && n.getNamespaceURI().equals("http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/")) {
            namespacesFromWsdlDocument
                .put(n.getLocalName(), n.getNodeValue());
        }
    }

    // read the schema nodes from the wsdl
    NodeList schemas = wsdlDoc.getElementsByTagNameNS("http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema", "schema");
    Map<String, DOMSource> sources = new HashMap<>();
    for (int i = 0; i < schemas.getLength(); i++) {
        // create a document for each schema and copy the source schema
        Document schema = dBuilder.newDocument();
        Element schemaElement = (Element)schema.importNode(schemas.item(i), true);

        // add all non-existing namespace declarations from the wsdl node
        String targetNs = schemaElement.getAttribute("targetNamespace");
        for (Map.Entry<String, String> ns : namespacesFromWsdlDocument.entrySet()) {
            String name = ns.getKey();
            String value = ns.getValue();
            if (schemaElement.getAttributeNodeNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/", name) == null) {
                schemaElement.setAttributeNS("http://www.w3.org/2000/xmlns/", "xmlns:" + name, value);
            }
        }

        // map schemas by their target namespace
        schema.appendChild(schemaElement);
        DOMSource domSource = new DOMSource(schema);
        sources.put(targetNs, domSource);
    }

    SchemaFactory factory =
        SchemaFactory.newInstance(XMLConstants.W3C_XML_SCHEMA_NS_URI);

    // Create a ResourceResolver that can find the correct schema from the map
    DOMImplementationRegistry registry = DOMImplementationRegistry.newInstance();

    final DOMImplementationLS domImplementationLS = (DOMImplementationLS) registry.getDOMImplementation("LS");
    factory.setResourceResolver(new LSResourceResolver() {
        @Override public LSInput resolveResource(String type, String namespaceURI, String publicId, String systemId, String baseURI) {
            Source xmlSource = sources.get(namespaceURI);
            if (xmlSource != null) {
                LSInput input = domImplementationLS.createLSInput();
                ByteArrayOutputStream outputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                Result outputTarget = new StreamResult(outputStream);
                try {
                    TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer().transform(xmlSource, outputTarget);
                } catch (TransformerException e) {
                    e.printStackTrace();
                }
                InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(outputStream.toByteArray());
                input.setByteStream(is);
                input.setSystemId(systemId);
                return input;
            } else {
                return null;
            }
        }
    });

    // create the schema object from the sources
    return factory.newSchema(sources.values().toArray(new DOMSource[]{}));
}

I think the SchemaFactory is being "dumb" about how it results imports. I believe if you provide the schemas in the opposite order (lowest level to highest level), that should work. In a situation where you have more complicated dependencies (or multiple schemas for the same namespace), you probably need to implement a custom LSResourceResolver and set it on the SchemaFactory.
