Error loading WSDL

[ChinnuReji]

I am getting an error 'Invalid Definition Exception' while loading WSDL.
Is there an option to skip this exception and get the WSDL loaded to the tool

Hi,

no - this usually indicates that there is something wrong with the WSDL so soapUI can't load it.. are you getting any more error information in the error log?

regards!

I get the same error while trying to load my WSDL (Failed to update interface: [com.eviware.soapui.impl.support.definition.support.InvalidDefinitionException]).

This is what the error log says

I've sent the asmx/wsdl file to support at [eviware]. I appreciate all the help I can get.

Seems like the problem is in the schema:

It was generated automatically by wsgen.

Last change I made was replacing a getter in a complex type from getOperatorInformation(...) to updateOperatorInformation(...) because I didn't want the field to be exposed.

Prior xsd was:

<xs:complexType name="requestCT">
<xs:complexContent>
<xs:extension base="tns:genericCT">
<xs:sequence>
<xs:element name="loginCT" type="tns:loginCT" minOccurs="0"/>
<xs:element name="operatorInformation" type="tns:loginResponseCT" minOccurs="0"/>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:extension>
</xs:complexContent>
</xs:complexType>

Element <xs:element name="operatorInformation" type="tns:loginResponseCT" minOccurs="0"/> was removed. Prior to this, SoapUI worked fine. Now it doesn't.

Help please!!

I just encountered very similar issue. The problem was I was including the <complexContent> and <restriction> tags for a non-array <sequence> and SOAPUI choked on them.

The error message was less than helpful
WARN:Error: http://myserver.com:8080/API/WSDL/Utils.wsdl:0: error: A complexContent must define a base type

Removing the extraneous tags fixed the problem.
