Error description

• In IBM Rational Software Architect, if you have a UML model with
  derived UML data types and then create a UML-to-WSDL
  transformation configuration, this transformation
  configuration's 'Output Options' list will not have entries that
  reference the derived data types, which means that XSDs not
  listed in the configuration will get generated, but you will not
  be able to modify the location of these (unlisted) XSD files.
  
  The following steps reproduce the problem:
  
  1.Create a UML project and model
  
  2.Create four packages
  
  3. Add two data types in the first package, an enumeration in
  the second package, a component in the third package and an
  interface in the fourth package
  
  4. Create a generalization relationship between the two data
  types
  
  5. Add two enumeration literals to the enumeration
  
  5. Add a port to the component that refers to the interface
  
  6. Add an operation to the interface
  
  7. Add three parameters to the operation: two parameters of the
  type 'String' and one of the parent data type in Step 4
  
  8. Add two 'String' attributes to the parent data type
  
  9. Add an attribute to the child data type that has the
  enumeration from Step 3 as its type
  
  10. Create a UML-to-WSDL transformation configuration
  
  11. Select the 'Output Options' tab
  
  12. Select 'Process referenced data types and their derived
  types' from the 'Data type processing' drop down list and save
  all the changes
  
  Expected Result:  The package with the enumeration appears in
  the list, so that you can edit its output location.
  
  Actual Result:  The package with the enumeration does not appear
  in the list.  If you now run the UML-to-WSDL transformation, the
  XSD for the enumeration still gets generated. However, as a
  result of not being on the 'Output Options' list, you will not
  be able to change the location for these XSDs.  Nor will you be
  able to consolidate XSD files generated for referenced UML data
  types.

  ****************************************************************
  "Output Options" tab of UML-to-WSDL transformation
  configuration does not include the derived UML DataTypes.
  These are included for the generation though.
  

Problem conclusion

• "Output Options" tab of WSDL transformation configuration
  now includes the derived UML Data Types as well.
