RE: Schemas in imported WSDL

Tom,

Given WSDL A importing WSDL B which either imports or declares inline
Schema C then only *WSDL* constructs defined in WSDL B are visible to
WSDL A. The schema constructs defined in Schema C are only visible to
WSDL B, they are not visible to WSDL A.

Note that this DOES NOT stop you using the WSDL constructs from WSDL B
in WSDL A. So if you have an interface in WSDL B that uses types in
Schema C, you can define a binding for that interface in WSDL A.

It DOES stop you defining a new interface in WSDL A that references
schema constructs in Schema C.

Hope this helps,

Gudge
