[Nusoap-general] New Server - Want to refer to external xsd file.

[super m. <sup...@ho...>]

Hello all.

I'm attempting to use Nusoap to create a web service (soapserver), which 
uses pre-defined message structures from a central "message" library.

The company already has a central "xml registry" which contains message 
definitions in XSD files, which we must reference, rather than duplicating 
in our own wsdl files - this is a company-wide deployment policy directive. 
This is because they use a messaging backbone that verifies message 
structure before passing out to endpoints.

How can I create a web service using Nusoap that, instead of creating 
complexTypes myself in php (I've done plenty for testing purposes), allows 
me to reference these message elements defined in the external xml registry?

I've tried various ways but nothing seems obvious. Note that I don't want to 
get into an argument about coding styles etc - I want to simply use Nusoap 
to create a web service in php that points to existing xxxxxRequest and 
xxxxxResponse message declarations. Note that some of the xxxxxRequest 
message definitions are very deep and complex and I don't want to/I'm not 
allowed to re-create them in my webservice wsdl file.

All wsdl files on our network are supposed to only contain soap framework 
information rather than also including element definitions.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I'm about to give up using 
Nusoap and php to do this as I can't find an easy or elegant way to achieve 
what I need.

If it can't be done at all, then simply respond - "Nusoap can't do what you 
need to do", rather than argue that I should change my approach.

Kind Regards,

-- D.
