I created a web service in websphere and tried to access it from BIRT but without success. The WSDL could be read and the services were listed but the service parameters were empty.<br />
<br />
After a bit of trial and error, I found out that BIRT does not read fragmented schemas correctly.<br />
<br />
Original WSDL<br />

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><xs:schema targetNamespace="http://ws/" version="1.0" xmlns:tns="http://ws/" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

BIRT seems to have difficulty handling the type reference and cannot determine the input parameters or the return type. I edited the schema file and BIRT was able to get all information.<br />
<br />
Edited schema<br />
<br />
<pre class='_prettyXprint _lang-auto _linenums:0'>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><xs:schema targetNamespace="http://ws/" version="1.0" xmlns:tns="http://ws/" xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="arg0" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
<xs:element name="Q1Response">
<xs:complexType>
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element minOccurs="0" name="return" type="xs:string"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
</xs:element>
</xs:schema>
</pre>
<br />
This works. BIRT is able to list the parameters correctly. <br />
<br />
Is this a bug? Is there a workaround?<br />
<br />
Thanks <br />
