SI 5.2.1 - Web Service schema error "cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element"


Technote (troubleshooting)


Problem(Abstract)

Attempting to use the following schema:
<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://www.yourcompany.com/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xsd:element name="ELEMENTTYPEEXAMPLE">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:all>
<xsd:element name="ACTION" type="xsd:string" minOccurs="1"/>
<xsd:element name="FLAG" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="EXAMPLE1" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="EXAMPLE2" type="xsd:integer"/>
<xsd:element name="EXAMPLE3" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="EXAMPLE4" type="xsd:integer"/>
</xsd:all>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>
</xsd:schema>

The schema checks in with no issues and a WSDL is created. The option of "Validate with Input Schema" is set when doing the Schema mapping step.
When a SOAP request is sent to SI using the WSDL generated, the request fails with:
"cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the
declaration of element 'xs:ACTION'".

Even though the request does contain the ACTION element.

Resolving the problem

Apply SI 5.2.4.1 for the fix on this issue.

This reworked schema worked. However, it is recommended the fix pack is applied. (notice how the minOccurs restriction is removed for this workaround)

<xsd:schema xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" targetNamespace="http://www.yourcompany.com/XMLSchema" elementFormDefault="qualified">
<xsd:element name="ELEMENTTYPEEXAMPLE">
<xsd:complexType>
<xsd:all>
<xsd:element name="ACTION" type="xsd:string">
<xsd:element name="FLAG" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="EXAMPLE1" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="EXAMPLE2" type="xsd:integer"/>
<xsd:element name="EXAMPLE3" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="EXAMPLE4" type="xsd:integer"/>
</xsd:all>
</xsd:complexType>
</xsd:element>

<xsd:element name="ACTION" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="FLAG" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="EXAMPLE1" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="EXAMPLE2" type="xsd:integer"/>
<xsd:element name="EXAMPLE3" type="xsd:string"/>
<xsd:element name="EXAMPLE4" type="xsd:integer"/>
</xsd:schema>
