Troubleshooting
Problem
The Error "WSDL: The X element referenced by the Y part cannot be resolved" will show in the WSDL editor of IBM Rational Software Architect after running the UML-to-WSDL transformation with a global complexType if the user has specified "tns" in the Schema TargetNamespacePrefix" of the source xsd model.
Symptom
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a model called XSD Model to which you import the XSD Model Library
2. Add a package called test to the model
3. Apply the XSD transformation profile to the model
4. Apply the stereotype schema to the package testSchema
5. Add a class testGlobalComplexType to the package testSchema, to which you apply the stereotypes
<<complexType>> and <<global>>. Then add an attribute test of type XSDDataTypes::XSDDataTypes::string</code>]
6. Go the the package testSchema shcema stereotype property and add the tns to the schema
TargetNamespacePrefix property
7. Save the model
8. Create a model pacakge called TestService
9. Add to the model a package called com
10 Add an interface called phonebookInterface with the stereotype serviceSpecification
11. Add an operation testOp to the interface with an in parameter aParam of type
testGlobalComplexType
12. Create a UML-to-WSDL transformation with the default options selecting PhonebookInterfaceModel
as the source and a project where resides the model as the target.
13. Run the transformation and the following is generated
Actual Result:
The com.wsdl
