How to create a qualified WSDL

When we have to create a WSDL then it can be qualified or normal WSDL. There is only one property which defines the qualified WSDL or normal WSDL. For example, if we get a WSDL from the WSO2 DSS server it gives you a normal WSDL and the structure of the WSDL is as mention below.

Attribute in WSDL:

<xsd:schema attributeFormDefault="unqualified" elementFormDefault="qualified" targetNamespace="http://shriwithjava.blogspot.co.nz/managerdetails/">

elementFormDefault can be qualified or unqualified.

Unqualified WSDL’s Structure:

If you see below WSDL image we have kept elementFormDefault as unqualified.

WSDL:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:man="http://shriwithjava.blogspot.co.nz/managerdetails/">

   <soapenv:Header/>

   <soapenv:Body>

      <man:ManagerDetailsRequest>

         <Id>?</Id>

         <Name>?</Name>

         <Address>?</Address>

         <Departments>

            <!--1 or more repetitions:-->

            <DepartmentDetails>

               <DepartmentName>?</DepartmentName>

               <NoOfPeople>?</NoOfPeople>

               <OfficeLocation>?</OfficeLocation>

            </DepartmentDetails>

         </Departments>

      </man:ManagerDetailsRequest>

   </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>

If you see the above example, namespace is coming only in operation but not in all elements.

If we create it as a qualified WSDL then WSDL will as below. Load this in SOAP UI, namespace will be there in all the elements.

Qualified WSDL’s Request Structure:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:man="http://shriwithjava.blogspot.co.nz/managerdetails/">

   <soapenv:Header/>

   <soapenv:Body>

      <man:ManagerDetailsRequest>

         <man:Id>?</man:Id>

         <man:Name>?</man:Name>

         <man:Address>?</man:Address>

         <man:Departments>

            <!--1 or more repetitions:-->

            <man:DepartmentDetails>

               <man:DepartmentName>?</man:DepartmentName>

               <man:NoOfPeople>?</man:NoOfPeople>

               <man:OfficeLocation>?</man:OfficeLocation>

            </man:DepartmentDetails>

         </man:Departments>

      </man:ManagerDetailsRequest>

   </soapenv:Body>

</soapenv:Envelope>
