Packaging WSDL

It's often a good thing to reference XML Schema documents from WSDL so that common types are not duplicated in multiple WSDL files.

On the other hand not all tooling will handle referenced schemas and it is necessary to embed the schema in the WSDL.

This XSLT transformation will turn a WSDL containing references to other schemas into an equivalent WSDL that embeds those schemas inline.

<?xml version="1.0"?> <!-- This stylesheet will embed any schemas referenced with an 'import' element so an equivalent standalone WSDL is created. This is necessary for tools that don't work with referenced schemas. --> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"> <xsl:output method="xml" indent="no"/> <xsl:template match="@*|node()"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="wsdl:types"> <xsl:copy> <xsl:apply-templates select="xsd:schema/xsd:import" mode="embed" /> <xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()"/> </xsl:copy> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="xsd:import"> <xsd:import> <xsl:attribute name="namespace"><xsl:value-of select="@namespace" /></xsl:attribute> </xsd:import> </xsl:template> <xsl:template match="xsd:import" mode="embed"> <xsl:apply-templates select="document(@schemaLocation)" /> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet>
