Description

After upgrading to Axis 1.2rc3 I noticed that the wsdl is no longer being written properly when using derived types from abstract classes.

Test Case: (i hope you perserve spaces as this is indented properly when i submit it)
create these files and compile them:
TestObj.java
package test;
public class TestObj {
public void testShapeHolder(ShapeHolder shapeHolder)

{ System.err.println("SHAPE CLASS: " + shapeHolder.getClass()); }

/*
this is commented out on purpose, you will remove it in the last steps of the test case
public void testAbstractShape(AbstractShape shape)

{ System.err.println("SHAPE CLASS: " + shape.getClass()); }

*/
}

ShapeTester.java
package test;
public class ShapeTester {
private AbstractShape shape;
public AbstractShape getShape ()

{ return shape; }

//public void setShape (AbstractShape shape)

{ this.shape = shape; }

}

AbstractShape.java
package test;
public abstract class AbstractShape {}

Square.java
package test;
public class Square extends AbstractShape {}

Circle.java
package test;
public class Circle extends AbstractShape {}

Add this service to the server-config.wsdd
<service name="absTest" provider="java:RPC">
<parameter name="allowedMethods" value="*" />
<parameter name="className" value="test.TestObj" />
<beanMapping qname="THENS:ShapeTester" xmlns:THENS="myWebApp:ShapeTester" languageSpecificType="java:test.ShapeTester"/>
<beanMapping qname="THENS:Square" xmlns:THENS="myWebApp:Square" languageSpecificType="java:test.Square" />
<beanMapping qname="THENS:Circle" xmlns:THENS="myWebApp:Circle" languageSpecificType="java:test.Circle" />
</service>

install axis 1.1 and get it running

hit the wsdl and look at the wsdl:types, on my box it looks like:
<wsdl:types>
<schema targetNamespace="http://test" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" />
<complexType abstract="true" name="AbstractShape">
<sequence />
</complexType>
</schema>
<schema targetNamespace="myWebApp:Circle" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" />
<complexType name="Circle">

<extension base="tns2:AbstractShape">
<sequence />
</extension>
</complexContent>
</complexType>
</schema>
<schema targetNamespace="myWebApp:ShapeTester" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" />
<complexType name="ShapeTester">

<element name="shape" nillable="true" type="tns2:AbstractShape" />
</sequence>
</complexType>
</schema>
<schema targetNamespace="myWebApp:Square" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

<complexType name="Square">
<complexContent>
<extension base="tns2:AbstractShape">
<sequence />
</extension>
</complexContent>
</complexType>
</schema>
</wsdl:types>

replace axis libraries (I replaced axis.jar, saaj.jar, and wsdl.jar) with corresponding axis 1.2rc3 jars

hit the wsdl and look at the wsdl:types, i NOW get: (that can't be right, is it?)
<wsdl:types>
<schema targetNamespace="http://test" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<import namespace="myWebApp:ShapeTester" />
<import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" />
<complexType abstract="true" name="AbstractShape">
<sequence />
</complexType>
</schema>
<schema targetNamespace="myWebApp:ShapeTester" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
<import namespace="http://test" />
<import namespace="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/" />
<complexType name="ShapeTester">
<sequence>
<element name="shape" nillable="true" type="tns2:AbstractShape" />
</sequence>
</complexType>
</schema>
</wsdl:types>

uncomment the method in TestObj named testAbstractShape

restart the application

hit the wsdl. you now get the FULL wsdl written out including the types:
