The WSDL spec silently uses the types (and attributes) from the
"soapenc" namespace without importing the schema
(http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/).
Per the XML Schema Spec Part1 (http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-1/ ),
section 4.2.3 "References to
schema components across namespaces", this is needed.
For instance in example 5 (excerpt below), the use of soapenc:Array and
soapenc:arrayType requires import of the schema for soapenc:
targetNamespace="http://example.com/stockquote.wsdl"
xmlns:tns="http://example.com/stockquote.wsdl"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema"
xmlns:xsd1="http://example.com/stockquote/schema"
xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/soap/"
xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"
xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/">
<types>
<schema targetNamespace="http://example.com/stockquote/schema"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/10/XMLSchema">
<import namespace="soapenc" schemaLocation
="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"> <!-Missing-->
<complexType name="TimePeriod">
<all>
<element name="startTime" type="xsd:timeInstant"/>
<element name="endTime" type="xsd:timeInstant"/>
</all>
</complexType>
<complexType name="ArrayOfFloat">
<complexContent>
<restriction base="soapenc:Array">
<attribute ref="soapenc:arrayType"
wsdl:arrayType="xsd:float[]"/>
</restriction>
</complexContent>
</complexType>
</schema>
</types>
I have seen another such situation in example 7.
Section 2.2 also needs to reflect this.
BTW this also becomes important if there are multiple schemas within
the <types> section. Each of them need to import the ones (say others)
if they uses types from them..
