Error when using Jax to generate Proxy web service client

Question

I was wondering if i could get some help with the following issue.

I was trying to run the command below using jax to generate web service client proxy:

wsimport http://www.holidaywebservice.com/Holidays/HolidayService.asmx?WSDL

but i'm getting the following error:

C:\Users\Asher>wsimport http://www.holidaywebservice.com/Holidays/HolidayService.asmx?WSDL
parsing WSDL...


[WARNING] src-resolve.4.2: Error resolving component 's:schema'. It was detected that 's:schema' is in namespace 'http:/

olidaywebservice.com/Holidays/HolidayService.asmx?WSDL#types?schema1'. If this is the incorrect namespace, perhaps the p
refix of 's:schema' needs to be changed. If this is the correct namespace, then an appropriate 'import' tag should be ad
ded to 'http://www.holidaywebservice.com/Holidays/HolidayService.asmx?WSDL#types?schema1'.

First of all am i doing something incorrectly? And lastly if there's no way to generate a proxy client then is there any other way to access this webservice & it's methods in java. I'm fairy new to java so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

You can pass XMLschema as parameter on wsimport

wsimport -b  http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd  http://www.holidaywebservice.com/Holidays/HolidayService.asmx?WSDL

There are potential name conflicts in schema for schema. A workaround is to create customization.xjb with following

<bindings xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xjc="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/jaxb/xjc" version="2.0">
<globalBindings>
<xjc:simple/>
</globalBindings>
<bindings scd="~xsd:complexType">
<class name="ComplexTypeType"/>
</bindings>
<bindings scd="~xsd:simpleType">
<class name="SimpleTypeType"/>
</bindings>
<bindings scd="~xsd:group">
<class name="GroupType"/>
</bindings>
<bindings scd="~xsd:attributeGroup">
<class name="AttributeGroupType"/>
</bindings>
<bindings scd="~xsd:element">
<class name="ElementType"/>
</bindings>
<bindings scd="~xsd:attribute">
<class name="attributeType"/>
</bindings>
</bindings>

your ultimate call would be

wsimport -b  http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd -b customization.xjb  http://www.holidaywebservice.com/Holidays/HolidayService.asmx?WSDL

How did you create that WSDL? It seams that you refer some data types that are not exported in your WSDL.

EDIT
The wsdl refers to a schema named 's' but this can't be found, because its URL is
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema but should be
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd

after change that now it also complains about http://www.27seconds.com/Holidays/ that isn't pointing to a schema too. You need to fix all of them in your copy of the WSDL and then do the wsimport with it.

I also gone to www.holidaywebservice.com and found there's a second version at: http://www.holidaywebservice.com/HolidayService_v2/HolidayService2.asmx?wsdl
