WSDL type "soapenc:string" cannot be resolved

Question

importing my WSDL into RAD 8 (websphere 6.1) gives error:

<wsdl:part name="muid" type="soapenc:string"/>

The string type that is references by muid cannot be resolved.

XSD: Type reference 'http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/#string' is unresolved

Answer 1

string is a type which has been defined in "the" XML Schema. Check, which prefix is used to reference the namespace http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema (the XML Schema-namespace) in your WSDL (most probably something similar to xsi, xs, xsd).

Then change the line to

<wsdl:part name="muid" type="xs:string"/>

where xs is your namespace prefix.
