RE: Code Generation Exception - any way to work around?

Hi folks! Yep, I thought about that. But, interestingly enough, wsimport (for creating a JAX-WS client) works, and I can even pass the simple test of opening the file as an XML file in IE (if it was malformed it would not open). It's just Axis that fails. :( So, I figure it's probably something in the WSDL that's either unusual or not supported. So, I guess I'm looking for ideas for the types of issues that might cause the error I'm seeing.

maybe you can take someone's Visual Studio 2010 or better and
use the add service reference menu to suck up the wsdl file and
create stubs and skeletons
maybe it gives you insight about what is wrong with your wsdl.

Betreff: Code Generation Exception - any way to work around?

Hello folks. I'm working to parse a WSDL given to me by a customer, so unfortunately I don't have much control over its format and content. But, so far, I've not been able to get it to work with WSDL2Java. I've tried both adb and xmlbeans data binding options, and both get the same exception. I've tried searching for this error, but so far no luck.

The WSDL is quite large so I've not posted it here. Is there someplace or something in the WSDL I should be looking for that could cause this error as seen below? Or, is there anything that can be done to get past it?

Thanks in advance for any assistance!

This is the exception I am getting:
