Hi Pete,
Thanks for your quick efforts to try this stuff in SoapScope!
Not wanting to depend on visual scanning to see your changes,
I wrote a 'diff' script with appropriate switches to ignore
inserted/removed blank lines, white space, tabs, etc.
But unfortunately, the 257K of source schema files still yield
a 197K diff file, so it's no help.
A brief review of the schema diff log reveals changes such as:
(1) Multiple lines in source folded onto a single very long line
(which breaks a lot of my source management tools)
(2) All of the 'maxOccurs=1' attributes have been erroneously
removed - this breaks normative behavior in the protocol
(3) Some of the 'minOccurs=0' attributes have been removed - this
breaks the explicitly optional elements in the protocol
A brief review of the WSDL diff log reveals changes such as:
(1) Soap actions with empty 'input' and 'output' statements
(although the WSDL/1.1 spec REQUIRES a 'message' attribute).
(2) Inserted namespace attributes in all includes and references
(which are probably OK, although they'll break XSV validation).
Let's please discuss this a bit during the WIMS topic at this
afternoon's PWG Steering Committee teleconference.
Cheers,
- Ira
