[news.eclipse.technology.wsvt] Add an extensibility element

[matthieu.riou@xxxxxxxxx (Matthieu Riou)]

Hi,

I would be interested in developing an extension for WSVT to support 
Partner Links. This is an extension of WSDL defined by the WS-BPEL 
specification (see 
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=wsbpel). In 
short, WS-BPEL defines an element that can be included in your WSDL 
definition using a specific namespace:

<definitions name="net.xmethods.services.stockquote.StockQuote" 			      
targetNamespace="http://stockquote.com/"; 
     xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"; 			    
     xmlns:plnk="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2003/05/partner-link/"; 
     xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"; 
     xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";>

  ....

  <plnk:partnerLinkType name="stockInitiatorLinkType">
     <plnk:role name="initiator">
        <plnk:portType name="LocalPort"/>
     </plnk:role>
  </plnk:partnerLinkType>
  <plnk:partnerLinkType name="stockLinkType">
     <plnk:role name="stockService">
        <plnk:portType 
name="net.xmethods.services.stockquote.StockQuotePortType"/>
     </plnk:role>
  </plnk:partnerLinkType>

</definitions>

Right now when I submit a document with the partner links extension, an 
error is produced by the sax parser when it encounters the 
'partnerLinkType' element.  This is a bit disturbing as the WSDL schema 
support such extensions. Did you have a similar problem when writing other 
extensibility elements ?

If you're interested, I don't mind contributing this extensibility element 
to WSVT when it will be working.

Thanks,
