Hello,

I want to develop a webservice that returns a XSD (a string with the content of one XSD file to be more exactly). That webservice gets the XSD’s from a directory (or database). Now the tricky part:
The XSD files can include or import other XSD files, but my webservice needs to return the content of 1 working XSD file. So I need code witch can merge a tree of multiple XSD files to one XSD file.

Do you know where I can get this code?

Thanks,

Ward

You can't merge two arbitrary XSD's into one (what are you going to do with target namespaces?). Instead you could do:

   <wsdl:types>
      <xs:schema>
         <xs:import schemaLocation="a.xsd" namespace="http://a"/>
         <xs:import schemaLocation="b.xsd" namespace="http://b"/>
      </xs:schema>
   </wsdl:types>

or

   <wsdl:types>
      <xs:schema targetNamesace="http://a"...>
         ...
      </xs:schema>
      <xs:schema targetNamesace="http://b"...>
         ...
      </xs:schema>
   </wsdl:types>

Although later form might not be well supported by various buggy platforms.
