Re: Semantics of wsdl:import

Hi Menon,

AFAIK, XML Schemata are intended to be imported in WSDL using xs:import
element within wsdl:types. In general, any extension (incl. XML Schema)
that would like to import some external documents must provide its own
import element (in the absence of a working general standard like
xinclude).

So wsdl:import only imports WSDL documents. This makes it possible for
the processor to assume that what is being imported is WSDL, and in case
that import is not used (for example only one interface is used that
doesn't reuse anything from the imported WSDL; ignoring other interfaces
in the importing WSDL), it needn't even be resolved.

Hope this helps,

Jacek
