BUG: Office InfoPath 2003 cannot correctly generate a form when a WSDL file uses definitions with a type reference (889494)



The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003, Service Pack 1 (SP1)
  • Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003

SYMPTOMS

You may have a Web Service Description Language (WSDL) file for a Web service that uses definitions with the following attributes:
  • A type attribute that is similar to the following:
    <message name="GetReturnXmlNodeSoapOut">
      <part name="XmlNoder" type="s0:myType" /> 
     </message>
  • An element attribute that is similar to the following:
    <message name="GetReturnXmlNodeSoapOut">
        <part name="parameters" element="s0:GetReturnXmlNodeResponse" />
    </message>
    
With this WSDL file, Microsoft Office InfoPath 2003 cannot correctly generate a form from the Web service method and you may receive an error message that is similar to the following:
"/schema/element[1][@name='myFields']/complexType[1]/sequence[1]/element[2]
[@name='dataFields']/complexType[1]/sequence[1]/element[1]
Undeclared XSD element: {http://tempuri.org/}XmlNoder"

CAUSE

This problem occurs because InfoPath 2003 does not generate the correct XSD code when a part has a type reference. SOAP returns an empty Message name value.

Microsoft regularly releases software updates to address specific problems. If Microsoft releases a software update to resolve this problem, this article will be updated with additional information.
