Description

Heinz Drews made a good suggestion on the Woden dev list [1] that I've captured in this Jira.

We've already seen several users try to use Woden to parse WSDL 1.1 documents. In this case users are presented with a cryptic error message (see below) produced by the schema validator and a stack trace.

[Error] SGAdministration.wsdl:2:1087: cvc-elt.1: Cannot find the declaration of element 'wsdl:definitions'.
Woden[Fatal Error],0:0,WSDL501,Expected a "

{http://www.w3.org/ns/wsdl}

description" element, but found a "

{http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/}

definitions" element instead.

Woden should help out these users by producing a simple error message such as:

"It appears as though you are trying to parse a WSDL 1.1 document but Woden is a WSDL 2.0 parser. You need a WSDL 1.1 parser to parse WSDL 1.1 documents."
