Service reference from WSDL generates empty namespace

Question

I'm adding a Service Reference in Visual Studio from a third party WSDL, but it's not creating the proxy classes, just a file with an empty namespace:

The WSDL address is http://wwwh.cnj.jus.br/sgt/sgt_ws.php?wsdl

//------------------------------------------------------------------------------
// <auto-generated>
//     This code was generated by a tool.
//     Runtime Version:4.0.30319.18052
//
//     Changes to this file may cause incorrect behavior and will be lost if
//     the code is regenerated.
// </auto-generated>
//------------------------------------------------------------------------------

namespace MyApp.MyServiceReference {

}

How can I fix it?

UPDATE:

I ran the command

SvcUtil.exe /t:code "http://wwwh.cnj.jus.br/sgt/sgt_ws.php?wsdl" /d:D:\test

and got the following errors:

Error: Cannot import wsdl:portType Detail: An exception was thrown while running a WSDL import extension: System.ServiceModel.Description.XmlSerializerMessageContractImporter Error: Referenced type 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/:Array' is only valid for encoded SOAP.

Warning: No code was generated. If you were trying to generate a client, this could be because the metadata documents did not contain any valid contracts or services or because all contracts/services were discovered to exist in /reference assemblies. Verify that you passed all the metadata documents to the tool.

Warning: If you would like to generate data contracts from schemas make sure to use the /dataContractOnly option.

It worked when I added a Web Reference instead of a Service Reference.
