FW: Built in XML Schema types

Thanks for your comment.  The WS Description Working Group tracked this
issue as a CR005 [1].  The Working Group agreed to the following
proposal:

 

Add a statement to the state stating that every component model 

contains the built in types, to 2.1.1 The Description Component:    

 

The {type definitions} property of the Description component MUST
contain 

all of the built-in datatypes defined by XML Schema Part 2: Datatypes 

Second Edition [XMLSchema: Datatypes] [4], namely string, boolean, 

decimal, float, double, duration, dateTime, time, date, gYearMonth,
gYear, 

gMonthDay, gDay, gMonth, hexBinary, base64, Binary, anyURI, QName, 

NOTATION, normalizedString, token, language, NMTOKEN, NMTOKENS, Name, 

NCName, ID, IDREF, IDREFS, ENTITY, ENTITIES, integer,
nonPositiveInteger, 

negativeInteger, long, int, short, byte, nonNegativeInteger,
unsignedLong, 

unsignedInt, unsignedShort, unsignedByte, positiveInteger.

 

This text appears in the latest draft [2].

 

Unless you let us know otherwise by 13 April, we will assume you agree
with the resolution of this issue.

Subject: Built in XML Schema types

 


While working on the Woden implementation of the WSDL 2.0 component
model I came across an implementation detail that isn't spelled out in
the spec. I'd like some input from the working group. 

Section 3.1 of the WSDL 2.0 spec states that the XML schema types are
built in to WSDL 2.0 and do not have to be imported. Should these types
be available from the type definitions within the Description component?
i.e. In a WSDL 2.0 component model implementation, should I be able to
access these types from the type definitions on the Description
component? 

Thanks,
