I have a question on the circumstances in which a schema namespace from an imported WSDL needs to be xs:imported by the importing WSDL. I have read Primer 3.2 'Importing Schemas' and I do understand why updateDetails.wsdl does an xs:import of the namespace of the schema inlined within the imported WSDL, retrieveDetails.wsdl - i.e. because the <input> and <output> elements in updateDetails.wsdl refer directly to the 'reservationDetails' element declaration from that schema. My question is based on the example in Primer 3.1 'Importing WSDL'. credit-card-faults.wsdl has an xs:import of a schema document and defines some interface <fault> elements that reference element declarations from that schema. use-credit-card-faults.wsdl imports credit-card-faults.wsdl and defines some <outfault> elements that reference the <fault> elements defined in the imported WSDL. use-credit-card-faults.wsdl does NOT xs:import the schema namespace from credit-card-faults.wsdl. I assume this is because there are no WSDL elements in use-credit-card-faults.wsdl that directly reference the components of that schema. However, the Description component that these two WSDL documents map to will contain InterfaceFault components representing the <fault> elements from credit-card-faults.wsdl and InterfaceFaultReference components representing the <outfault> elements from use-credit-card-faults.wsdl. The Description component will also contain ElementDeclaration components (referenced by the InterfaceFaults) which in turn represent the schema element declarations from credit-card-faults.wsdl. Here's my question: if the Description component must contain ElementDeclaration components that map to schema elements in the imported WSDL, should the importing WSDL xs:import that schema's namespace, even though the WSDL elements of the importing WSDL don't refer directly to that schema's elements? Thanks, John Kaputin.
