[Jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss's Web Services Implementation] - Re: Handling array types by JBossWS Tools

[<tho...@jb...>]

The prefix assocciation (ns1, ns2, ...) with a namespace uri is not relevant for two schemas to be semantically equivalent. 

It is probable that wscompile puts array types in seperate schema files to associate them with different target namespaces and such avoids name collisions. Is is all about reuse of the defined type in a different schema.

Image you have two comlex java types that live in two different packages and both use the same array type. For that scenario it makes sense to define the array type in yet another schema.

Whether jbossws tools produces output that is equivalent to wscompile largely depends on the validation algorithm. Lexical equivalencs is not required neither the use of identical namespace prefixes.
