Error description

  • Valid messages that were created from a WSDL show validation
    problems in IBM Rational Integration Tester (RIT)
    
    STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
    
    1. Import the WSDL into Schema Library
    2. Create a Send Request test action.
    3. Configure the HTTP transport.
    4. Paste existing message content into the text node of the
    message.
    5. Associate the message with the WSDL
    
    EXPECTED RESULTS:
    
    The message is valid and no red crosses appear in the message
    tree.
    
    ACTUAL RESULTS:
    
    Red crosses appear to show that one or more elements are
    invalid.

    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION:                                         *
    * It is possible for an XML message to be validated            *
    * incorrectly by Tester resulting in red crosses being shown   *
    * even though the message is compliant to the WSDL.            *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
    ****************************************************************
    This problem is occurs when there is a local element referencing
    a abstract type that is already being processed by the RIT xsd
    parser.
    
    e.g.
    
    Given the element and types below
    
        <xsd:element name="object" type="Object" />
    
        <xsd:complexType name="Object" abstract="true">
            <xsd:sequence>
                <xsd:element name="childObject" type="Object" />
            </xsd:sequence>
        </xsd:complexType>
    
        <!-- A ConcreteObject type that extends the abstract Object
    type -->
        <xsd:complexType name="ConcreteObject" abstract="false">
            <xsd:complexContent>
                <xsd:extension base="Object">
                      <xsd:sequence>
                        <xsd:element name="concreteField"
    type="xsd:string" />
                    </xsd:sequence>
                 </xsd:extension>
            </xsd:complexContent>
        </xsd:complexType>
    
    the local element 'childObject' is of type Object which is the
    parent type and therefore will already be on the transformation
    stack. The logic that handles this scenario did not cater for
    the case where the type is abstract which means additional
    processing is required to determine which other types are
    extension ( ConcreteObject ) so that they and contents (
    concreteField ) can be made available .
    

Problem conclusion

  • This problem has been resolved in Rational Integration Tester
    8.6.0.
