XML Validation of WSDL files

[Arjuna Chala]

By default if you try to validate one of the wsdl files you get an error:

Document is invalid: no grammar found.
Document root element "wsdl:definitions", must match DOCTYPE root "null".

After this error I included

xsi:schemaLocation="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/wsdl.xsd
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd"

Where I have the mapping setup in the System ID catalogs. Now it recognizes "http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/" but not "http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema". Here is the complete file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<wsdl:definitions
xmlns="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
xmlns:wsdl="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

xsi:schemaLocation="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/
http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/wsdl/wsdl.xsd
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema
http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema.xsd">

<xsd:schema xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

<!-- The plan is to get TagInsight working here -->
</xsd:schema>

</wsdl:definitions>

I don't know if this applies to your situation
but recently, I think a similar problem came up
elsewhere.

Borland's Ken Chan provided this work-around.
Note that I have substituted <xxxx> where the
original question had a specific server name.
You will have to replace that.

Hopefully, the following snippet solves your problem.

> it validates.
