PK59797: WSDL editor should remove unused <xsd:import> generated by the tooling

Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, Version 7.0.0.6
Rational Software Architect, Version 7.0.0.6
Rational Application Developer for WebSphere Software, Version 7.0.0.8

APAR status

• Closed as program error.

Error description

• Using Rational Application Developer V7.0.0.5, when a user creat
  es an operation that uses an xsd type and then deletes the opera
  tion, the WSDL editor leaves behind an unused import that it ins
  erted.
  

Local fix

Problem summary

• The WSDL and XSD editors were not providing function to remove
  unused XSD imports added by other user or editor actions.
  Typical actions that can cause unused imports are: adding a new
  operation and changing one of the parameter's type to reference
  a type from an imported schema or simply adding the import by
  hand when in source editing mode.
  
  An XSD import is unused when no WSDL or XSD component references
  components from the imported schema.
  
  In addition, the warning message generated by the XSD and WSDL
  validators when encountering an unused XSD import was not very
  helpful. The message would always read "The location 'Test.xsd'
  has not been resolved" instead of clearly stating why the schema
  was not resolved.
  

Problem conclusion

• Rational Application Developer V7.0.0.8 provides a new action
  that will allow the user to remove unused XSD imports from both
  WSDL and XSD documents. The action can be invoked through the
  Source->Remove Unused Imports menu. The new menu is available in
  the context menu invoked by right-clicking on a WSDL or XSD file
  in the project explorer or in the WSDL and XSD editors when the
  editor is in source editing mode.
  
  In addition, the actual message produced by the WSDL and XSD
  validators has been improved to clearly mark an XSD import as
  unused. The new message generated for unused XSD imports will
  read: "The import with location 'Test.xsd.' is never used."
