Re: Schemas in imported WSDL

OK, now I'm confused. :)

I would certainly a) LIKE this to be the case, and b) like the spec/primer to
say something about it, but I'm surprised to hear you say this, Gudge, after
the earlier conversation.  I thought when you said "The schema constructs
defined in Schema C are only visible to WSDL B, they are not visible to WSDL
A", you meant that they were not visible even in the face of an explicit
"xs:import".  I gather that was Amy's interpretation as well, judging from her
message.

Are you saying that WSDL processors may do this, should do this, or must do
this (where "this" == "make the schema in WSDL B available for import to WSDL A
via xs:import")?

Hang on. The case Jacek has listed below SHOULD work. Why? Because WSDL
A has EXPLICITLY imported that namespace. And the WSDL processor that's
dealing with WSDL A and WSDL B can use the schema from WSDL B to satisfy
the import in WSDL A.
